Issue with the biggest divide
Public education costs
Fund school and education priorities, address large-district funding difficulties, expand multilingual K–12 programs, and improve college affordability for undocumented students.
Provide free public education from Pre-K through college so children can become contributing members of society.
Clean-energy transition
Require a statewide assessment of firm zero-carbon resources and facilitate solar and battery storage on water-stressed farmland.
Accelerate the transition to renewable solar, wind, and water, and transform oil refineries into renewable energy plants.
Public transit funding
Provide sustained public investment in mass transit, coordinate Bay Area transit agencies, and require accountability for transit spending.
Support fully funded public transit, including BART and bus transit.
Drug addiction treatment
Treat substance-use disorders as public-health rather than criminal-justice problems, prioritize treatment over punitive incarceration, and support harm reduction and buprenorphine access.
Include drug addiction treatment as part of free health care.
