quote:

The PSL�s 2020 Ten Point
Socialist Campaign Program

★ 1 | Make the essentials of life into constitutional rights
The U.S. has more than enough so that all the essentials of life � food, housing, water, education, health care and a job or basic income can be guaranteed rights � rather than distributed only for profit. Create a completely free and public healthcare system. Make education free�cancel all student debt. Fully fund rebuilding of the infrastructure in transport, water and utility systems. Stop all foreclosures and evictions. End all discrimination based on ability/disability.

★ 2 | For the Earth to live, capitalism must be replaced by a socialist system
Global warming, pollution, acidified and depleted oceans, fracking, critical drought, plastics choking the seas, nuclear weapons and waste � it is clear that capitalism and production for profit are destroying the planet and threatening all life. The crisis is already here, with the most vulnerable and oppressed areas of the U.S. and Global South bearing the brunt. Using truly sustainable energy and seizing the oil and coal companies to stop fossil fuel pollution, are urgent steps needed to reverse climate change. Ultimately, only the socialist reorganization of society can assure the future of the people and the planet.

★ 3 | End racism, police brutality, mass incarceration-Pay reparations to the African American community
Mass incarceration and racist policing are symptomatic of the 400 years of brutal repression meted out to African-descended peoples in the US. Reparations must be paid! More than 2.2 million people are behind bars in the largest prison complex in the world. End mass incarceration of oppressed and all working class people. Fully prosecute all acts of police brutality and violence. Free Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal and all political prisoners!

★ 4 | Full rights for all immigrants
Abolish all anti-immigrant laws. Stop the raids and deportations and demonization of immigrants. Shut down ICE and the concentration camps and reunite families. The government�s war on immigrants must end. The border wall must be dismantled. Amnesty and citizenship for those without documents. Full rights for all!

★ 5 | Shut down all U.S. military bases around the world�bring all the troops, planes & ships home
U.S. foreign policy uses the pretext of national security to enforce the imperialist interests of the biggest banks and corporations. That is what is behind the endless wars and occupations. Use the $1 trillion military budget instead to provide for people�s needs here and worldwide. Abolish nuclear weapons. Stop U.S. aid to Israel. Self-determination for the Palestinian people, including the right of return. End the U.S. blockade of Cuba and sanctions against Venezuela, Iran and all countries. Independence for Puerto Rico and cancel its debt!

★ 6 | Honor Native treaties. Free Leonard Peltier now
Both major parties have continued to allow the destruction of Native lands by mining and corporate agricultural interests in blatant disregard of indigenous sovereign rights. 33% of Native children live in poverty and many of America's poorest counties are reservations. The crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and the over-incarceration of Native peoples shows the bankruptcy of capitalism from its earliest inception in the Americas until today.

★ 7 | Full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people
Fight back against anti-LGBTQ discrimination and violence. Defend marriage equality. Full equality in all matters governed by civil law, including employment, housing, healthcare and education. No to �religious exemption� laws that allow discrimination against LGBTQ people!

★ 8 | Equality for women and free, safe, legal abortion on demand
Stop the attack on women�s reproductive rights and defend Roe v. Wade. Women must have the fundamental right to choose & control their own bodies. Women still earn 22 percent less than men, and the gap is even more severe for Black and Latina women. Close the wage gap and end the gender division of labor.

★ 9 | Defend and expand our unions
Support the right of all workers to have a union. Fight back against the attacks on collective bargaining. Require employers to recognize card check union votes. Repeal the Taft-Hartley Act. Focusing on low-wage worker organizing, rebuild a fighting labor movement.

★ 10 | Takeover the stolen wealth of the giant banks and corporations � Jail Wall St. criminals
The vast wealth of the giant banks and corporations is created by workers labor and the exploitation of the world�s diminishing natural resources. The billionaires looted and destroyed the economy. It is time to seize their assets and use those resources in the interests of the vast majority. Power must be taken out of the hands of the super rich, and Wall Street criminals must be jailed.

You should definitely not vote for the guy who will be working the hardest to convince lefties to vote for Joe Biden. Vote for someone who will actually be running a general election campaign and give a boost to an actual left-wing party, so La Riva or Howie Hawkins probably. Between those two, I would recommend whichever is more likely to at least get more votes than the Libertarians.

https://www.liberationnews.org/la-riva-designated-presumptive-peace-freedom-party-presidential-nominee-in-california/
The following statement was originally published by the Peace and Freedom Party.

Gloria La Riva has been designated by the Peace and Freedom Party State Executive Committee as the �presumptive nominee� of the party for President of the United States.

While the formal nomination decision will not be made until the newly-elected State Central Committee convenes on August 1st, the Executive Committee acted after surveying the incoming SCC members and finding that the overwhelming majority intended to nominate La Riva, who received just over two-thirds of the votes of party members in the March presidential preference primary.

The State Executive Committee action authorizes the use of the party�s name and logo by the La Riva campaign and requires the relevant party committees to incorporate the promotion of the La Riva presidential campaign into their work.

La Riva�s vice-presidential running mate is the unjustly imprisoned Native American leader Leonard Peltier. One of the longest held political prisoners in the world, Peltier has been incarcerated for 44 years on false charges. His real �crime� in the eyes of the state was defending his people. Peltier was the 2004 presidential candidate of the Peace and Freedom Party.

In announcing the recognition of Gloria La Riva as the presumptive nominee, Peace and Freedom Party State Chair John Reiger of Sacramento said, �The current emergency shows more clearly than ever the need for socialist solutions to California�s and the country�s problems. Think how much more effective preventive actions against the pandemic would have been had a national health service been in place to provide testing and treatment to everyone from the beginning.

�Rule by the greedy billionaires and their stooges in the big political parties has led to mass impoverishment of the working class, and tens of thousands of unneeded deaths and millions of illnesses. We look forward to promoting a big vote for Gloria La Riva in November to show that Californians want real solutions to our problems, socialist solutions that help the workers rather than the billionaires.�

The La Riva/Peltier 2020 Campaign is demanding the cancellation of rents and mortgage payment for tenants, homeowners, small landlords and small businesses for the duration of the COVID-19 crisis, as well as full-pay unemployment benefits for all unemployed workers.

State law provides that the Peace and Freedom Party nominees for President and Vice President will appear on the ballot in the November general election. So far, La Riva has qualified for the ballot in several other states as the nominee of the Vermont Liberty Union Party and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
