EDUCATION
YDCC supports YDA's position that a high-quality education is fundamental to a vigilant democracy and a strong economy. Further, public schools bring together families of diverse experiences, abilities, and backgrounds for the common purpose of learning. Public education should be the ultimate equalizer. As Democrats, it is our top priority to mobilize all communities to eliminate the socio-economic achievement gap apparent in America today.content and make changes to the font.

HOUSING
YDCC supports YDA's position that the cost of housing has made it too expensive to live a secure and stable life in many of the nation’s urban and rural areas, centers, leading to skyrocketing homelessness and financial insecurity. We demand the government take swift action to fund the construction of affordable housing built near accessible public transit lines, along with the return of strong rent control to stabilize communities. We demand that this is done in a way which prioritizes low-income and marginalized minority population’s needs over the financial interest of developers. Housing is a human right.
HEALTHCARE
YDCC supports YDA's position that securing a healthcare system that values people before profits is vital to the general welfare of our nation. We believe in universal access to affordable, quality health care, reflecting patient preferences and sensitivities, and the fierce protection of the gains made in this area under President Obama.
YDCC supports efforts to provide high-quality, affordable preventative reproductive healthcare through its health centers. With millions of individuals across the country receiving services, it is important to continue and expand federal and state funding for their efforts. No person facing one of the hardest decisions of their life should be without safe access to legal abortion services. All people deserve the right to access birth control, reproductive health care, other preventive care, sex education, methods to prevent sexual assault, and reliable and accurate information.
ENVIRONMENT
YDCC supports YDA's position that climate change and related, contributing activities have and will continue to disproportionately affect frontline communities, including but not limited to young people, indigenous peoples, people of color, lgbtq+ peoples, and the poor. Through tackling climate change we must ensure that clean air, clean water, and healthy food are basic human rights and that everyone who wants one has access to a good, livable-wage job. We further believe that increased environmental protections can be achieved in ways that create jobs and benefit all levels of the economy.
CIVIL JUSTICE
YDCC supports YDA's position that all Americans should have the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. We recognize, however, that systematic discrimination continues to plague our country. Local, state, and federal laws which promote justice for oppressed or disadvantaged people by prohibiting discrimination, based on race, socioeconomic status, gender, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic background, national origin, or disability.

LABOR RELATIONS
YDCC supports YDA's position for expanding collective bargaining throughout our modern, service-based economy to maintain economic flexibility and to build economic opportunity, while vigorously defending a century’s worth of hard-fought progress and protections won by the American worker united in purpose and organized in action. The right of workers to organize unions without employer intimidation or interference, including a ban on coerced “captive audience” meetings. A living wage of at least $20 an hour and abolishing subminimum wage federally for people with disabilities and incarcerated individuals.OSHA and other federal efforts to secure safe workplaces for all Americans.
