EDUCATION
We oppose using our tax dollars to fund private and religious education. NH should fulfill its legal responsibilities to fund an adequate education in our public schools. We support our public schools and teachers and do not want them attacked or criminalized.
TAXES
: We do not support a NH income or broad-based sales tax, but we oppose the Republicans cutting taxes on the wealthy and large businesses which have taken tax dollars from our public schools and added to our local property tax burden. We need property tax relief.
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
: Abortion is essential healthcare and should remain safe and legal. We believe that personal reproductive decisions are between patients and their doctors and should not be legislated or controlled by the government! We support codifying the right to abortion access into state law.
EQUALITY
: We believe that all human beings deserve personal freedom & liberty, and equal opportunities to pursue happiness regardless of race, religion, gender, sex, ability, income, or zip code. We will fight to protect equal rights under the constitution for all people.
