Get StartedWe believe that voting is a fundamental right, and all Texans must be guaranteed the right to vote and be assured that their vote counts. Learn more
We must reform the broken criminal justice system and put an end to mass incarceration. Specifically, we must end the failed "war on drugs," which disproportionately affects minority populations. We must be proactive when handling drug incidents and substance abuse cases by prioritizing prevention and treatment over prison. We must implement drug courts, veterans' courts, and diversionary programs that provide nonviolent offenders with rehabilitation opportunities, rather than mandated incarceration. Learn more
All Texans have the right to receive high-quality, publicly-funded education from pre-kindergarten through either college or vocational programs. High-quality public schools that meet the needs of all individuals should be accessible. Learn more
The success of our children is dependent upon the success of our teachers, counselors, librarians, aides, and other support staff. Due to meager wages, deficient funding, and the increased emphasis on standardized testing, which is improperly used as a teacher performance metric and monopolizes class time, educational institutions suffer from low teacher retention rates and are often forced to staff unqualified individuals.

The state should immediately establish a school finance system with sufficient revenue to provide every individual with accessible, high-quality education. Learn more
In order to ensure that we pass on a viable earth to our children, we must take immediate action to stem the negative impacts of pollution, fossil fuel use, and climate change.

We must also invest in clean energy research and development, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and providing incentives for companies and households that minimize carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions.

Health care is a human right and every Texan should have access to high-quality, affordable health care. As a state, we must ensure that we provide comprehensive health care options to all Texans, including the most vulnerable, our children, veterans, and seniors. No individual should be denied access because of a pre-existing condition or inability to pay an exorbitant hospital bill. Learn more
We must repeal Senate Bill 4, or the "Show Me Your Papers" law, which has simply led to an increase in xenophobic, racist, and bigoted behavior. We must value the power that is associated with the diverse skillsets of our immigrant population. Learn more
We cannot allow the current policies of child separation, 'tender age' shelters, and a zero-tolerance approach to immigration to continue. We should not support using taxpayer money to build a border wall, which experts have stated will be ineffective. Learn more
