New Hampshire People’s Platform

The NH’s People Platform is our proposal to move forward together on issues that affect all of us.

Health Care for All

Affordable health care is a basic right for all New Hampshire residents. We will:

1. Build a public mandate for a Medicare for All system that covers dental, hearing, eye care, mental health, and pre-existing conditions.
2. Work to implement a humane harm-reduction approach to addressing the opioid crisis.
3. Protect the gains made by the Affordable Care Act.

Strong Public Education

All of our young people deserve access to high-quality public education. We will:

1. Resist attempts to hijack our public education tax dollars & divert them to private & religious schools.
2. Work to change our current property tax system of funding schools in favor of a more equitable school funding system.
3. Push for debt-free higher education opportunities.

Raise Up NH: A Fair Economy for All

1. We need a livable minimum wage that provides enough money for workers to afford to live in New Hampshire.
2. We will work to enact paid family and medical leave as a statewide public program to protect our working families during illness or the birth of a new child.

Jobs, Justice, and Climate

We are determined to protect our environment and transform our energy economy. We will:

1. Fight the development of new fossil fuel infrastructure and push greater investment in renewable energy.
2. Work to empower our communities to move toward a 100 percent renewable energy economy, prioritizing opportunities for local energy ownership, good union jobs, and democratic participation as we transition away from fossil fuels.
