Voter roll purges, book bans, attacks on trans kids, unarmed Black men killed with impunity, and billion-dollar corporations gaming the courts; none of this is a glitch. It’s a design feature meant to pick winners before the game starts.

The plan

1. Voting rights with teeth

   • Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore pre-clearance and stop modern poll taxes.

   • Make Election Day a federal holiday and guarantee two weeks of no-excuse early voting everywhere.

2. Police accountability that actually bites

   • Ban choke-holds, no-knock warrants, and qualified immunity nationwide.

   • Redirect 10 percent of federal police grants into independent civilian-oversight boards that actually hold departments accountable.

3. Full civil-rights shield for LGBTQ+ Americans

   • Enact the Equality Act so housing, health care, and workplaces can’t hide behind “religious exemption” dodgeball.

   • Pre-empt state bans on gender-affirming care; ZIP code should never decide treatment.

4. Close the racial wealth gap

   • Launch Baby Bonds: every newborn gets up to $20,000 in a federally backed account until adulthood.

   • End algorithmic redlining; lenders caught using biased credit models lose federal guarantees.

5. A clear path to citizenship—no second-class residents

   • Create an eight-year roadmap for undocumented neighbors who pass background checks and pay taxes.

   • Halt private immigration-detention contracts and impose a 72-hour limit on family separation.

6. Courts that serve the people, not donors

   • Impose 18-year term limits on Supreme Court justices and enforce a binding ethics code (yes, yacht gifts count).

   • Mandatory conflict-of-interest audits for every federal judge before they take a case; recusals are not optional.

How we pay

• End the federal tax write-off for police misconduct settlements and fines.

• Add a luxury real estate transfer tax for properties over $5 million.

• Add a corporate crime surtax for repeat civil rights violators.

• Skim 10 percent from DOJ civil rights and corporate settlement funds.

• Add a mandatory surtax on legal settlements over $10 million related to civil rights abuses.

Real equality is simple: the rules apply the same whether you’re broke, Black, queer, undocumented, or a Fortune 500 CEO. Let’s write that into law and enforce it like we mean it.
