It’s up to us to decide what’s possible with a future Harris administration.

On November 5th, we will be able to decide what kind of country we want to be. We can choose to be a country that moves forward with progress or one that moves backward. We can choose to live in a country that gives women autonomy over their bodies or one where decisions are made for them. We can choose to be a country that welcomes immigrants instead of one that demonizes them. We will have the power to choose a future based on hope instead of cynicism.

As soon as Biden announced he would not seek another term, I was proud to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president in 2024. She is not only best positioned to unite our party and defeat Donald Trump. Her presumptive candidacy is an opportunity to usher in an era of bold, progressive priorities that benefit ordinary people.

At a time when more than one in three women live in states where reproductive rights are under attack, many with no exceptions for rape or incest, we must codify Roe deer in federal law. This requires leaders who will fight unapologetically for reproductive freedom. Kamala Harris has a solid record of staunchly defending federal protections to codify reproductive rights. To solidify federal action, we need a majority in both the House and Senate to do so. Vice President Harris has the ability to energize our voter base to ensure we regain the House majority and keep the Senate in Democratic control. As she has emphasized in her first week as the presumptive Democratic nominee, she will make this a top priority in her administration.

Health care is a human right. In the United States, no one should die because they can’t afford life-saving care. We cannot resign from a country that denies coverage to people with pre-existing conditions or one where quality mental health is only available to a privileged few. Our health care system must provide dignity and equality for all people, which is why moving to a single-payer system is critical. If Donald Trump is re-elected and the Affordable Care Act is overturned, 21 million people are at risk of losing their coverage. This is our opportunity to catch up with every other major country and provide health care to everyone through Medicare for All.

The health of each of us is as important as the health of the world. As climate change continues to wreak havoc, it is more important than ever to have bold climate champions leading our country. This election is our chance to enact a Green New Deal that will help us transition to clean energy, creating good-paying, unionized jobs, while addressing the climate crisis. We can create the future our children deserve, including by establishing national clean energy standards, ensuring clean water and air, ending fossil fuel subsidies for polluters, and building on the success of the Inflation Reduction Act by strengthening the Environmental Justice Act and ensuring that communities disproportionately impacted by climate change are protected.

If Trump is elected, our democracy will go into intensive care. Instead of corroding our democracy, Harris will safeguard it. If elected, we must push her to strengthen voting rights by passing a broad, comprehensive voting rights bill, like the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, that eliminates discrimination and barriers to voting and provides same-day, automatic, online voter registration. Another obstacle to free and fair elections is ending corruption and removing big money from politics by eliminating corporate spending in elections. Our democracy should always be for the people and by the people, not special interests. Under a Harris presidency, we must codify legal deference to expert federal agencies to curb corporate influence in federal regulations. Finally, eliminating the filibuster, an anti-democratic relic of the Jim Crow era, is critical to passing our progressive agenda. Over the years, the filibuster has blocked key pieces of landmark legislation on civil rights, gun reform, and comprehensive immigration reform. We have the power to make our democracy work for all of us.

Not to mention the fact that millions of young people are saddled with student loan debt that prevents them from buying a home, starting a family, or opening the small business they’ve always dreamed of. As president, I hope Harris builds on President Biden’s record and pursues a transformative agenda that fights hard to erase every penny of student loan debt and makes it easier for students to afford higher education in the first place.

We also need to advance the lives of parents, social workers, and caregivers. If the economy doesn’t work for them, it doesn’t work. We need to make it easier for parents to succeed, which requires implementing universal paid family leave, affordable child care, and an expansion of the Child Tax Credit. These are all policies that can become a reality for every American under a Harris administration. When we lead boldly, and I believe Vice President Harris will, we can build a care economy that works for all of us.

Last but not least, I hope we will heed the clarion call of millions of Americans for a permanent ceasefire. We must end Israel’s genocide in Gaza, a brutal military campaign that Vice President Harris has accurately described as a “humanitarian catastrophe.” I am optimistic that together we can usher in a new era of American foreign policy: one in which the United States uses its power to push for peace and justice in Palestine and around the world, rather than enabling and aiding unspeakable atrocities in Gaza and escalating settler violence in the West Bank. Harris has the opportunity to turn the page and demonstrate our party’s courage and commitment to ending the genocide not just by condemning it in words but also in deeds.

This agenda is a roadmap for what might be possible under a Harris administration. This is our chance to encourage her to implement the progressive 100-day agenda outlined by President Biden and to go bolder. This election will not be won on fear, but on hope. It will depend on our willingness to present voters with a vision of what we can achieve, together. Democrats must provide voters with the antidote to Donald Trump, Project 2025, and the attempts to destroy our democracy. The winning message is clear: End genocide, codify Roe deerand advance a bold progressive economic agenda that enables everyone to live healthy, dignified lives. With this election, we have a chance to turn the page on Trump.
