A permanent and sustainable solution to all the problems facing working people is possible by taking the biggest companies into democratic ownership, and reorganizing the economy on a democratically planned basis. Under such a system we could democratically decide how to allocate resources. We could rapidly transition away from fossil fuels, develop massive jobs programs to rebuild the country's rotting infrastructure, and begin to build a whole new world based on meeting the needs of the majority, not the profits of a few.

Big business has many tools to make us pay for the crisis of their system.

We have a rotting infrastructure that is literally poisoning children in Flint, Newark and elsewhere.

We need a break from Capitalism.
