From the Campaign for America’s Future (http://www.ourfuture.org/):
On Election Day, we won a huge victory: voters rejected the ugly politics of hate and elected new leaders (at least in the House) who promised to take back our government.
Now, we have a chance to really lead – by elevating an economic agenda that delivers real prosperity, and by holding those elected leaders accountable for delivering on it.
Our 11 point Pledge for America’s Future has already been endorsed by more than 15,000 citizens and 90 movement leaders — from Rashad Robinson and Jim Hightower to Gloria Steinem and Bill McKibben and many many more. But we need your help.
Can you endorse the Pledge for America’s Future now, so we can work together to deliver a political revolution in 2019? Take the pledge at http://campaignforamericasfuture.org/sign-up/.
Real change begins with a clear and coherent vision of a better America, and with citizens’ movements dedicated to bringing that world into being. We put forward this agenda for economic change in that spirit. We invite you to discuss and debate it — and, most of all, to join us to push the politicians to fight for it. Here’s our 11 point plan:
- Jobs for All– Created by Rebuilding America
- Invest in a Green New Deal
- Empower Workers to Reduce Inequality
- Opportunity and Justice for All – With Focus on Communities Harmed by Racism
- Guarantee Women’s Economic Equality
- Medicare for All – And Shared Economic Security
- High-Quality Public Education – Pre-K to University
- Make Corporations and the Wealthy Pay Their Fair Share
- Close Wall Street’s Casino
- Rescue Democracy from the Special Interests
- A Global Economic Strategy for Working Americans
With your help, we’ll do more than just pledge to fight for our values. We want to use this platform to hold elected leaders accountable, and make this the new test for Presidential leadership well before the 2020 primaries get underway (if they haven’t already).
