Support local businesses, farms and food systems: we can’t rely on getting our food from California. Supporting local farms and food systems means providing access to affordable, healthy food for all - its a win for our whole community.

Protect targeted communities: defend the rights and safety of immigrants, trans, LGBQ and people of color, people with disabilities, journalists and other targeted groups.

Expand rural services: expand cell coverage, broadband, transportation, EMS and healthcare services - basic services that are the backbone of a modern economy. Rural communities should not be left out!

Maintain the social safety net: ensure people are fed, housed and have the health and human services and continuum of care they need; support children from cradle to college.

Protect Cayuga Lake: oppose large-scale commercial water withdrawals and brine storage in Cargill salt mines; prevent pollution that promotes toxic algal blooms.

Commit to a circular economy: expand programs to support waste reduction, reuse and recycling, and reduce costly reliance on toxic landfills.

Expand rural services: expand cell coverage, broadband, transportation, EMS and healthcare services - basic services that are the backbone of a modern economy. Rural communities should not be left out!

Prepare for extreme weather events: develop a comprehensive resiliency plan to respond to floods, wildfires, heatwaves, droughts, and prolonged power outages.

Advance justice and equity: support the Office of Human Rights, the Community Justice Center, alternatives to incarceration programs, affordable housing initiatives, a living wage and worker’s rights.
