Economic Justice

I have been very vocal about issues in Economic Justice.  I spoke out against the tax conformity bill that left about 1 million residents out of their so called "tax relief" plan by basing relief on property and income taxes only. I support a fully refundable Earned Income Tax Credit. 

I also know that issues of gender inequities in reproductive justice, equal pay, and sexual harassment at the workplace are issues that must be addressed to remove obstacles and restrictions on women's ability to thrive financially.

I support unions and their work for more fair pay, benefits, and safer workplace environments. I support raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, paid medical/sick leave, and repealing Right to Work.

And very foundational to putting justice back into our justice system, we must stop criminalizing those experiencing poverty and rid the General Assembly of the "bootstraps" mentality that fails to acknowledge the role of white supremacy privilege in financial security.
