Justice For All

No matter the color of your skin, income level, linguistic proficiency, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation, you are entitled to equal justice. We must end systemic inequality.

Health care should not be a profit-driven industry in this country. Obamacare was a step in the right direction, but not nearly enough. It's time for America to enact universal health care.

Only the privileged few thrive when we are left ignorant and divided. When the people lack adequate knowledge and education, they can easily be manipulated and exploited.

A prosperous America is an America with an efficient democratic process, religious freedom, and economic opportunity for all Americans. This prosperity is possible in our lifetimes.

It's time for an American Workers' Bill of Rights. There is no reason why any working-class (or any other) American should have to struggle to afford housing, food, or an education.

Renewable energy is the future, and the powers that be fear that this will hurt their bottom line. We must respect the earth and stop selfishly draining her precious resources for profit.

Ricky believes in an America where every human being is entitled to the following inalienable rights:

The right to life, liberty, safety, and privacy;
The right to a clean, safe, and healthy environment;
The right to seek refuge from foreign oppression and danger;
The right to citizenship, equal rights, and equal protection under the law;
The right to fair, swift, and representative justice under the law;
The right to freely and peacefully travel;
The right to freely practice religious faith (or not);
The right to universal health care;
The right to a universal, tuition-free public education;
The right to own property and pursue enterprise;
The right to freedom of petition, expression and thought;
The right to participate in free, fair, direct, and open elections;
The right to work under equitable and satisfactory conditions;
The right to collectively bargain and be free from exploitative labor; and
The right to social insurance, pension services, and a dignified wage.

Ricky believes in an America where these are inalienable rights, that all living human beings deserve them, and that these rights and freedoms must apply to everyone, without regard to race, color, age, gender, sexual orientation, income, genetic information, disability status, national origin, religious belief (or lack thereof), and social or citizenship status.

But there's more to a people's social movement than a mere list of beliefs.

Let's break it down.

Chapter 1: Justice For All

Chapter 2: Education For All

Chapter 3: Prosperity For All

Chapter 4: Health Care For All

Chapter 5: Nature For All

Chapter 6: Diplomacy For All

Chapter 7: Economics For All

It's time for America to focus on policy again.

Ricky's Priorities

THE LEARN ACT

The LEARN ACT will cancel any and all student loan debts, establish tuition-free public higher education as a matter of right, and establish a Students' Bill of Rights for all Americans.

PEOPLE'S HEALTH CARE ACT

The PHCA will establish a universal health care system available to all U.S. residents, remove profit from health care, and establish a Health Care Bill of Rights for all citizens and residents.

THE AMERICAN JOBS ACT

The AJA will significantly modernize labor standards and consumer protections, establish a living wage, and establish an American Workers' Bill of Rights for all workers.

THE DREAM ACT

The DREAM ACT will finally initiate immigration reform, granting millions of law-abiding undocumented immigrants legal permanent resident status and a Refugee Bill of Rights.

THE VERB ACT

THE VERB ACT will significantly modernize and reform elections in the United States, virtually eradicate voter suppression, and unequivocally establish a National Voters' Bill of Rights.

THE SAFE ACT

THE SAFE ACT will systematically address the rising epidemic of gun-related violence and death in the United States while preserving rights enumerated in the Second Amendment.

What Do We Do Now?

In these confusing times we live in, this is a very fair question to ask. We must remember the movements of the past and apply their truths. When we are kept apart, we are weak.

When we organize, form collectives, and become a union of citizens determined to change the status quo, we become strong--stronger even than the very powers that want us to remain apart.

Organizing and showing solidarity with our neighbor is one of the most important things we can do, but there remains so much more to accomplish before achieving our shared vision.

We must unite. We must rise from the ashes of an oligarchic plutocracy to restore prosperity to the everyday American and stranger within our gates. We must remember that we are stronger together, never apart.

We must use our collective voices to demand change. We must refuse to be silenced. We must take action and make them remember where the real power lies--in the ballot box. They know this well.

Will you join us in this fight for a radically better tomorrow?

The choice is yours.
