- We want to make what should be easy, easier, in health care.
- All people should have access to housing they can afford; the private and public sectors can work together to address this challenge.
- We support and lobby for immigration reform, including a legal pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and reforms to the green card and high-skilled visa programs.
