Issue Position: Safe and Healthy Communities

Issue Position

Our communities are safe and healthy when our rights are protected, when the diversity of our community is valued and protected, when we feel safe in our community, when we protect our older neighbors and value their continued contribution to our community, when affordable healthcare is made available to all and when we protect our environment. This requires prompt and immediate attention in our community with legislation that will:

Ensure access to quality and affordable healthcare
Continue to protect a woman's reproductive rights and right to choose
Promote equality and provide strong sanctions and/or penalties for people, businesses or organizations that seek to discriminate
Protect our older neighbors from crime and predatory businesses that target them
Reduce gun violence
Enhance our recycle efforts and promote clean, safe and renewable energy
