Civil Rights
Democrats will always fight to end discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, language, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.
Education
Democrats know that every child, no matter who they are, how much their families earn, or where they live, should have access to a high-quality education, from preschool through high school and beyond.
Environment
Democrats believe that climate change poses a real and urgent threat to our economy, our national security, and our children’s health and futures, and that Americans deserve the jobs and security that come from becoming the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.
Health Care
Democrats have been fighting to secure universal health care for the American people for generations, and we are proud to be the party that passed Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act.
Immigration Reform
Democrats believe immigration is not just a problem to be solved, it is a defining aspect of the American character and our shared history.
Jobs and Economy
We are committed to doing everything we can to build a full-employment economy, where everyone has a job that pays enough to raise a family and live in dignity with a sense of purpose.
National Security
American leadership is essential to keeping us safe and our economy growing in the years ahead.
Preventing Gun Violence
With 33,000 Americans dying every year, Democrats believe that we must finally take sensible action to address gun violence.
Retirement Security
Seniors should not have to choose between putting food on the table, keeping a roof over their heads, or buying the medication that they need to stay healthy.
Science and Technology
Democrats value American innovation and believe it is one of our country’s great strengths.
Voting Rights
The Democratic Party was founded on the promise of an expanded democracy… Democrats believe we must make it easier to vote, not harder.
