Black Lives Matter leaders, organized labor, progressive groups and members of the House Democratic “Squad” are unveiling a 2021 agenda Thursday, laying down markers for how big a Joe Biden administration could go on coronavirus aid, economic relief and more next year.
Known as the Working Families Party’s “People’s Charter,” the 1,000-word proposal calls for universal free health care, a jobs program employing 16 million people, retroactive hazard pay for essential employees and the reallocation of resources from policing toward education and other services. It also promotes giving the public an ownership stake in firms that receive bailouts, as well as buying out gas and oil companies, among other policies.
The platform, shared first with POLITICO, is the latest move from progressives as they prepare to wrangle with moderate Democrats over the scale of new government spending and programs if the party wins control of Washington. It’s part of a different strategy for progressives this year than in the 2016 election: putting more organizational muscle behind Biden than they put into backing Hillary Clinton’s campaign, but also vowing to turn around and place immediate pressure on Biden to stand with them on key issues if he is elected.
Eight members of Congress, including prominent progressive Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib, are backing the program. A handful of likely incoming House freshmen, along with the Service Employees International Union, Electoral Justice Project of the Movement for Black Lives and climate advocacy group Sunrise Movement, are also on board.
"There is no doubt we need to evict Donald Trump and immediately begin the work of repairing and rebuilding stronger,” said Pressley. “Our country is facing overlapping crises of public health, economic inequality and systemic racism. The People's Charter offers a pathway to work together..."

Why don’t these idiots just adopt the old Soviet constitution and be done with it
Biden has disavowed the Left on his campaign stump and in the debate, but nobody on the Squad seems to be upset about it. They know he’s lying and will do what they want the day he’s elected.
A full-bore, final-month ad push by.Trump would have a strong theme of hanging this albatross around Biden’s neck with appropriate video of his lies being exposed on these issues.
‘The People’s...’ is code for slaves of the state. These people are world class liars. Unless they lie no one would be buying what they have for sale.
If they’re in such a rush to live the commie dream there are a number of countries they could move to and enjoy it right away. There’s no need to wait for it here.
Back to the magic money tree.
Our children have been specifically targeted a century by our pubic schools, news, media, churches and now social media.
We had John Dewey’s early 1900’s Progressive (Marxist) anti-home schooling influence, followed by The Frankfurt School’s mid-1900’s social Marxist plan for children, then Hollywood’s 1950’s communist influences, then NEA’s No God push in our schools.
Then, the 1960’s CPUSA push of college youts for war protests, drug use and wanton fornication, then the 1980’s sitcoms ridiculing parents, then the 1990’s queer push, then the 2000’s self-esteem facade.
Now MSM, SJW groups and social media are feeding their ignorance and arrogance.
Because it “doesn’t go far enough”?
The don’t mention their plans for ANTIFA after elimination of our 2nd ammendment.
Democrats - incompetent as the day is long.
Magical programs that will just ‘work’, money that grows on trees, and politicians that would never abuse any system.
Corruption to the core.
If you think the current social unrest is unsettling, you haven’t seen anything yet if these types seize power. It won’t be street violence, it will be genuine pushback against attempted govt control.
