The Working Families Party is fighting for a more just world, one where the economy works for everyone. One where politicians are held accountable to working people, instead of big-money backers. One where all of us, no matter where we come from, can find a good job, get healthcare when we need it, afford a home, send our kids to good schools, and have a secure retirement.
- Affordable Housing
- The affordable housing crisis in New York is pushing thousands of working families out of places they love but can no longer afford.
- Green Jobs, Green Homes
- A groundbreaking program to Green one million New York homes, massively reducing our carbon footprint, lowering energy bills, and creating 30,000 family-supporting jobs.
- Clean Elections
- Public Financing of Elections can kick the big-money crowd out of politics, and finally level the playing field between working families and powerful corporate interests.
- Education
- Every child, regardless of where they grow up, deserves a good education. Making that a reality means fair funding for public schools.
- Equal Rights
- Fairness and commonsense demand equal rights before the law for everyone in our society.
- Good Jobs, Living Wages
- No one who works full-time should live in poverty. From raising the minimum wage to fighting for living-wage laws across the state, we’re fighting to make that a reality.
- Healthcare For All
- Quality, affordable healthcare is a basic human right. Working Families is fighting to make sure everyone has access to care when they need it.
- Paid Family Leave
- No one should be forced to choose between their family and their job. Sadly, in today’s economy that’s the situation millions of Americans face when they need time to care for a newborn baby or a sick family member.
- Veterans and Military Families
- Honoring servicemen and women means supporting them in their time of service and after they return to civilian life.
- Bank Bailouts
- Looking after the interests of Main Street, not just Wall Street.
