Reclaiming Democracy to Put People and Planet First

We believe the well-being of people, the needs of our communities and the health of our planet should be the top priorities of our elected representatives. The overwhelming influence of money in politics – money from extremely wealthy individuals and big corporations – ensures that our elected officials put their interests before ours. Too often, that same 1% uses racism and other oppressions to intensify inequality and divide the 99% so that people blame each other and fight over crumbs instead of demanding a fair share for every community.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We can reclaim our democracy, unify across the oppressions that cause so much suffering and divide the 99%, and ensure our elected representatives use their power to serve our communities. We can transform government into a force that guarantees economic, racial and gender equality and that protects our local environment and the health of our planet. But it will take large numbers of people working together to achieve these goals.
