Judicial and Public Policy Reform
- Recognize racism as a public health crisis that mandates a federal response.
- Ban ALL privately run prisons. Fines established to be paid by companies that profited off the private prison system.
- Prisoner labor not allowed without consent. Prisoners to be compensated at the minimum wage and hazardous pay provided for applicable duties.
- Declare the Ku Klux Klan a terrorist organization.
- Lynching to become a federal hate crime with a recommended federal sentence of life.
- Free nonviolent offenders incarcerated for 10 years or longer who have less than five verifiable write ups. Write ups can be challenged and given due process.
- Free all prisoners for marijuana possession.
- Eliminate laws establishing mandatory minimums.
- Eliminate three strikes laws.
- First offense for illegal drug use or possession to require government payment for entry into an approved drug rehabilitation program rather than imprisonment.
- Once a prisoner completes sentence, voting rights are restored.
- Personal Data. Most states publicly release bulk data about arrestees unchecked. Like the 1970 Fair Credit Reporting Act regarding credit data, there must be guidelines that allow similar privacy and accuracy protections and the right to dispute and correct inaccurate data.
- The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice reformed through stricter guidelines, so DOJ oversight of police departments and other government institutions becomes more than a rubber stamp. DOJ can be sued for non- compliance so that standards do not vary depending on Administration.
- Currently the Black population is overrepresented in the military as 17% of soldiers are Black. The percentage of Black enlisted soldiers is even higher. To compensate for this disproportionate contribution to our national defense, 5% of the Defense Department budget will be allocated towards beautification, education, and youth programs in predominantly Black neighborhoods. Such programs will build goodwill towards the country resulting in greater patriotism, more successful recruitment efforts, and a generally more enthusiastic military population.
- EPA to inspect water supplies in ALL communities nationwide for lead and other forms of contaminates. Fixing polluted water systems to deliver clean water will take priority in any future infrastructure spending bill.
- Technology Action Plan that provides for computers and broadband in poor communities. Work with Technology companies to set up high security 24-hour computer lab/learning centers in the heart of “technology deserts.”
