JUSTICE
FIVE PILLARS. ONE CONNECTED AGENDA.
A government is not just a collection of offices, laws, and promises. It is a set of decisions about who gets opportunity, who holds power, who enjoys protection, and who pays the price when institutions fail.
American Proletariat organizes its proposed governing agenda around five connected pillars of justice. None stands alone. A fair wage means less without safe housing. A right means less without enforcement. Prosperity means less if the air, land, and water cannot sustain it.
The goal is not to compress complicated problems into convenient slogans. It is to identify what government should accomplish, investigate what brought us here, and publish the evidence, legal reforms, costs, and practical steps needed to deliver.
The economy should make a dignified life possible for the people who keep it running. Economic Justice addresses work, wages, taxation, public banking, the Biblical Jubilee, concentrated corporate power, and the distribution of opportunity.
Our proposals include a $28 federal minimum wage, a 30-hour full-time standard, a phased $80,000 annual income guarantee beginning with qualifying Switchboard placements, and no federal individual income tax on the first $80,000. Each proposal must be independently costed and designed to work alongside the others.

Your ability to receive medical care, obtain an education, live safely, raise children, or travel to work should not depend entirely on the price a private company decides to charge. Social Justice examines the public institutions and services that allow people to participate in society with dignity.
Our proposals include comprehensive public healthcare—including dental, vision, hearing, maternity, and behavioral health—safe public housing, universal basic communications, accessible public transportation, childcare, Social Security reform, and public education from Toddler to Doctor.

Equal rights require more than declaring everyone equal on paper. Racial Justice examines discriminatory institutions, historical dispossession, unequal access to public services, and the obligations governments owe communities and sovereign peoples.
Our proposals address enforcement of civil rights, the elimination of unlawful discriminatory practices, Tribal treaty and sovereignty obligations, territorial equity, historical truth, and appropriate restitution or repair for documented harms. Local consent, constitutional protections, and historical evidence matter.

Government derives its authority from the people. Political Justice asks whether people can actually exercise that authority, whether institutions answer to the public, and whether information, elections, and the rule of law remain trustworthy.
Our proposals examine voting access, open primaries and ranked-choice elections, campaign finance, independent oversight, public media, constitutional accountability, surveillance limits, and responsible international relations. Political disagreement is no substitute for evidence or due process.

A country cannot spend its way out of poisoned water, disappearing habitat, or infrastructure built for a climate that no longer exists. Environmental Justice places public health, ecosystems, and long-term resilience inside the decisions we make today.
Our proposals include adapting to extreme heat, drought, wildfire, and floods; protecting public lands; restoring the Great Salt Lake; holding responsible polluters accountable; cleaning contaminated sites and waterways; and scrutinizing the water and energy demands of industry.

These are the outcomes and reforms the American Proletariat proposes to pursue, not claims that every answer is already known. Each policy receives its own page describing the historical roots, responsible institutions, constitutional or statutory authority, competing considerations, a ten-year fiscal model, funding, implementation, and measurable public results.
The five pillars organize the policies by their primary purpose. Many policies serve more than one pillar, and those relationships are acknowledged through cross-links rather than duplicated pages.
JUSTICE explains what we propose to change. VAULT investigates the issues and problems that brought us here, with historical essays, dates, named decision-makers, official records, sources, and the perspectives needed to evaluate our mandates. FACTIONS shows where the fourteen AP factions share an interest—and where they disagree.
