·         end the violence of borders and the criminalization of immigrants

·         abolish the death penalty, shut down the prison industrial complex, redefine criminal justice

·         confront institutionalized repression against racial, ethnic, gender-based, and LGBTQ communities

·         support progressive workers movements and the eradication of poverty

·         dismantle the war machine, end state sponsored terrorism, expose the dangers of nuclear power
