The 2024-2025 People's Platform below has specific campaigns that Participating Organizations are working on that aspire to the vision in our Bill of Rights. The relationship between the Bill of Rights and the Policy Platform ensures we remain focused on the larger vision of a city, county, and metro for the 99%, while opening the space to achieve it through winnable campaigns.
A platform is essential to achieving our goal: it elevates and connects individual campaigns to a broader vision; allows us to see that our oppression is connected and to find productive intersections to build trust and capacity; shows solidarity and a commitment to support each other; increases visibility when all groups adopt and circulate it; compels candidates and the public to support the entire platform, especially the most contentious issues; and builds the power needed to win tough campaigns for the benefit of all.
PLEASE NOTE: The Platform is two pages; please click Next or Previous at the bottom of the page to see all campaigns on the Platform.
