The 'New Fair Deal' proposes significant initiatives to improve democracy and social welfare. Key policy areas include restoring citizenship through mandatory civics education and media literacy, supporting children, building a robust safety net, protecting the environment, and funding through progressive taxes. Mandatory service for individuals over 18 is also considered, although not universally popular among progressives. The approach seeks to challenge the current defensive stance of nonprofits and emphasizes long-term, proactive solutions in a time of crisis.
"In nonprofits, we tend to act defensively, especially in times of crisis like these. But being future-oriented is important."
"I call my approach a 'New Fair Deal'-a combination of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal and Harry Truman's Fair Deal."
"As we approach the Fourth of July, I want to propose a policy agenda that will strengthen democracy and give a fair shake to all."
"Mandatory civics and media literacy classes throughout the middle and high school years are needed."
