The United States is at a crossroads. For decades, neoliberal policies and corporate capture have fueled inequality, eroded democracy, and left working people behind. Now, with Trump and the far right openly dismantling our democratic institutions, the stakes could not be higher.

The New American Future is our answer: a bold, values-driven blueprint that lays out the policies and vision for a multiracial democracy where every person has what they need to thrive.

This blueprint will serve as a foundational text to inspire movements, guide advocacy, and provide candidates with a clear, people-centered alternative to austerity and authoritarianism.

The core goal of the platform is to create an American society and economy in which a strong middle class is the backbone and everyone has what they need to thrive, not just survive.

This is clearly the desire of the majority of Americans -- Republican, Democrat, or Independent.

Our guiding values are as follows:

1. Democracy for All, Not Rule by the Few
2. Dignity in Work, Housing, Healthcare, and Education
3. Affordability for all Essential Needs
4. A Living Wage for All Who Work and the Right to Organize
5. Climate Justice and Indigenous Sovereignty
6. Peace, Not Empire: Ending Endless Wars
7. Equal Rights and Justice for All People
8. Public Power over Corporate Capture
