This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020.This part deals with building a #StrongerFairerEconomy
The economy is not working for the American people.Only 1 party has a platform for the next 4 yrs/the other has a loyalty pledge to a malignant narcissist who threatens our democracy1/14

#Democrats pledge a new economic contract that raises wages and restores workers’ rights to organize, join a union, and collectively bargain. One that at last supports working families and the middle class by securing equal pay for women and paid family leave for all. 2/14

#Democrats know American families need a new economic contract that provides access for all to reliable and affordable banking and financial services. 3/14 #DemPartyPlatform #ForThePeople #BankingAndFinance

A new social & economic contract that at last grapples honestly w/America’s long &ongoing history of racism, disenfranchisement,segregation &discrimination &invests instead in building equity &mobility for people of color who have been left out &left behind for generations 4/14

Democrats stand ready to take immediate, decisive action to pull the economy out of President Trump’s recession by investing in infrastructure, care work, clean energy, and small businesses to put Americans to work in good-paying jobs; shoring up state and local budgets 5/14

#Democrats know we must enact fundamental reforms to address structural and systemic racism and entrenched income and wealth inequality in our economy and our banking system.6/14 #DemPartyPlatform #Economy #WealthGap

Americans deserve an economy that works for everyone—not just for the wealthy and the well-connected. But our system has been rigged against the American people. 7/14 #DemPartyPlatform #RiggedEconomy #ForThePeople

#Democrats believe it is a moral &economic imperative that we support working families by rebuilding the American middle class for the 21st century, making sure this time everyone can make it & thrive, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation,disability status....8/14

#Democrats will fight to raise wages for working people and improve job quality and security, including by raising the federal minimum wage so it reaches $15 an hour by 2026. 9/14 #DemPartyPlatform #FightFor15 #raisethewage

#Democrats know that raising the federal minimum wage, so fewer workers are forced to hold down multiple jobs to make ends meet, will significantly decrease risks of infection from #COVID19 and in the future. 10/14 #DemPartyPlatform #raisethewage

#Democrats know that strong American labor unions help increase wages & job standards for workers across the economy, which is why Democrats will prioritize passing the #PROAct &restoring workers’ rights, including the right to launch secondary boycotts. 11/14 #DemPartyPlatform

We will repeal so-called “right to work” laws that undermine worker power and lead to lower wages and less protection for workers across the economy, and ensure those who have been left without wage and hour protections for decades..have the same rights as other workers. 12/14

#Democrats will support legislation to strengthen #whistleblower and anti-retaliation protections for workers who speak for themselves or their coworkers. 13/14 #DemPartyPlatform

Democrats will take action to rein in anti-competitive corporate power by rewriting the rules that have undermined workers’ ability to advocate for themselves, including non-compete clauses, no-poaching agreements, and contracts that force workers into mandatory arbitration 14/14
