As we go about combating the many overlapping crises that we face, we have to ensure that good jobs for regular, everyday people are at the core of everything we do. By enacting a community jobs guarantee and work programs like a Green New Deal, we can bring thousands of good-paying jobs with full benefits to our district.

This means that where there aren’t jobs, we’ll create them–there’s certainly plenty of work that needs doing. And every single job will be a good job, with living wages and full benefits. But it doesn’t stop there. We’re going to protect these gains by strengthening workers rights across the board, including the right to be part of a union, because strong organized labor is at the heart of economic prosperity for working folks.
