Power to the People Plan

“My Power to the People Plan creates deep system change, moving from the greed and exploitation of corporate capitalism to a human-centered economy that puts people, planet and peace over profit.

It offers direct answers to the economic, social, and ecological crises brought on by both corporate political parties. And it empowers the American people to fix our broken political system and make real the promise of democracy.

This plan will end unemployment and poverty; avert climate catastrophe; build a sustainable, just economy; and recognize the dignity and human rights of everyone in our society and our world. The power to create this new world is not in our hopes, it’s not in our dreams - it’s in our hands.” - Jill Stein


Key points of the Power to the People Plan:

A Green New Deal:
Create millions of jobs by transitioning to 100% clean renewable energy by 2030, and investing in public transit, sustainable agriculture, and conservation.

Jobs as a Right:
Create living-wage jobs for every American who needs work, replacing unemployment offices with employment offices. Advance workers rights to form unions, achieve workplace democracy, and keep a fair share of the wealth they create.

End Poverty:
Guarantee economic human rights, including access to food, water, housing, and utilities, with effective anti-poverty programs to ensure every American a life of dignity.

Health Care as a Right:
Establish an improved “Medicare For All” single-payer public health insurance program to provide everyone with quality health care, at huge savings.

Education as a Right:
Abolish student debt to free a generation of Americans from debt servitude. Guarantee tuition-free, world-class public education from pre-school through university. End high stakes testing and public school privatization.

A Just Economy:
Set a $15/hour federal minimum wage. Break up “too-big-to-fail” banks and democratize the Federal Reserve. Reject gentrification as a model of economic development. Support development of worker and community cooperatives and small businesses. Make Wall Street, big corporations, and the rich pay their fair share of taxes. Create democratically run public banks and utilities. Replace corporate trade agreements with fair trade agreements.

Protect Mother Earth:
Lead on a global treaty to halt climate change. End destructive energy extraction: fracking, tar sands, offshore drilling, oil trains, mountaintop removal, and uranium mines. Protect our public lands, water supplies, biological diversity, parks, and pollinators. Label GMOs, and put a moratorium on GMOs and pesticides until they are proven safe. Protect the rights of future generations.

Freedom and Equality:
End police brutality, mass incarceration and institutional racism within our justice system. Expand women’s rights, protect LGBTQIA+ people from discrimination, defend indigenous rights and lands, and create a welcoming path to citizenship for immigrants. Protect the free Internet, replace drug prohibition with harm reduction, and legalize marijuana/hemp.

Justice for All:
Restore our Constitutional rights, terminate unconstitutional surveillance and unwarranted spying, end persecution of government and media whistleblowers, close Guantanamo, abolish secret kill lists, and repeal indefinite detention without charge or trial.

Peace and Human Rights:
Establish a foreign policy based on diplomacy, international law, and human rights. End the wars and drone attacks, cut military spending by at least 50% and close the 700+ foreign military bases that are turning our republic into a bankrupt empire. Stop U.S. support and arms sales to human rights abusers, and lead on global nuclear disarmament.

Empower the People:
Abolish corporate personhood. Protect voters’ rights by establishing a constitutional right to vote. Enact electoral reforms that break the big money stranglehold and create truly representative democracy: public campaign financing, ranked-choice voting, proportional representation, and open debates.

Have you seen what has happened to Venezuela since the oil price went down? Not exactly a good advert for Socialism.

No electricity, no antibiotics, no beds, no soap: A devastating look inside Venezuela's crisis-hit hospitals where 7 babies die a day, bleeding patients lie strewn on the floor, and doctors try to operate without tools


  • President Nicolas Maduro claims Venezuela has the best healthcare in the world after Cuba
  • But death rates are soaring and hospitals are filthy as supplies run low and electricity is shut off
  • The nation is in economic crisis after price of oil - their main monetary reserve - plummeted
  • Images taken by the New York Times show patients lying on the floor covered in blood, babies dying

good grief.. just read the Xth amendment.. think of it as individual dominion (control).
One has control of their destiny -one has control over their life,our thoughts our actions..(etc)
and here is the key INDEPENDENT FROM governing authorities..

Do you recall the individual mandate for Obamacare? Roberts in fact found against the states ability to
"mandate economic activity" -that is still unconstitutional.

He upheld it as a tax instead ( enumerated power of Congress) -but government cannot mandate your economic activities.
They can regulate and limit them by law only.

It's an important concept for Constitutional law..
The US gov't has enumerated and implied powers ( found by the courts) and is sovereign, but so are the states the same
and so are the individuals in society. in fact the individual's ( by the Declaration ) are immutable -given by the creator.

Where enumerated or implied powers are not held by the states or the fed;s -they are by nature held by the individual,
as sovereign (supreme power/authority)

Good grief read a dictionary.
Words have actual meanings.

Socialism looks awesome. You would think KKKhristiefan would be embarrassed romanticize for such a vile ideology. But I guess she thinks that notion of "fairness at the point of a gun" sounds real cool

So the socialism part doesn't bother you but that does?

Like hell I am. Supply side economics is just as lala land as this gals obligatory paradise nonsense. Not one single prediction supply siders have ever made has been borne out by the facts. It's essentially reverse socialism and is a major reason, along side southern conservative populism, why I'm no longer a Republican.

Well that's the only prediction supply side economist have made that has ever come true. Trickle down it does...and that's all it does. That's the problem with it. It's reverse socialism. Instead of artificially redistributing wealth downwards it artificially distributes wealth upwards.
