Domestic Policy

The United States has a history of ignoring the voices of people living under its jurisdiction, and it’s time to change that. Everyone who lives under U.S. governance deserves full representation and a real say in the decisions that affect their lives. One important step is admitting Washington D.C. as the 51st state and ensuring that U.S. territories have the right to self-determination or the option for statehood. Giving these communities a voice in Congress and local governance helps correct long-standing inequalities and empowers people to shape their own futures.

At the same time, we must invest in Indigenous communities and protect tribal sovereignty, including intellectual property, sacred lands, and religious and cultural rights. By taking these steps, we can ensure that all voices are heard, communities are respected, and everyone’s rights are recognized and protected under the law.
