What We Want

Housing

• We want one year of no rent or mortgage payments.

We have lots of ideas for long term policy too! But the people are suffering NOW so we'll work on that after our people's immediate needs are met.

• We want federal funding to support local, community charities focused on housing the homeless.

We believe the people who best know how to spend money for the people in the community ARE the people in the community!

• We want the formation of task force whose sole purpose is ensuring every American has a home.

This task force would also assess areas that need a new/expanded local program.

Healthcare

• Medicare for All

I don't need to explain this one. You deserve to go to the doctor when you're sick. You deserve medicine. We ALL deserve medical access and it's unfair that people who already get to go to the doctor get to tell us, tell you, that we don't

Hunger

• We want federal funding for local, community food banks.

We believe small, community food banks know what the community needs better than anyone.

• We want the formation of a task force whose sole purpose is ensuring no American goes hungry.

They will also be in charge of assessing areas that need new or expanded food banks.

AND THAT'S IT

• The 99th Party has no other position on any other policy.

Long Term Policy

• We have lots of ideas, and would LOVE to hear yours too. But right now all we care about is getting every American's basic needs met NOW.

• Generally, we want to change the system for these issues to be resolved long term.

• Once we get these measures passed, once we connect with the people in the community, we want to ask for their help and ideas in solving these issues.

• Of course we have our own ideas, but we want to hear from the people that are there first to help us better understand the nature of these issues.

• Long, long, long, long term goals we'd like to fundamentally change the nation's relationship with food and housing. We want to consider things like buying old abandoned malls/buildings and turning them into micro apartments. As they say, "The rent is too damn high." Ideally with food we'd like to see what we can do about bringing gardens into the communities! How cool would it be to bring back Victory Gardens? We also want to solve food deserts.

• As you can see, long term it's all very much up in the air and there's so many different ways we could go about it. That's why we're focused on the here and NOW.

• If you have any ideas for long term policy we'd love to hear it! E-mail us at 99thParty@gmail.com
