Our work centers around the core principles of democracy, economic justice, and environmental sustainability. We are steadfast in our commitment to advocating for progressive priorities that uplift the voices of the most vulnerable in society, while ensuring that democracy remains strong and accessible for every citizen.
What We Stand For
- A Strong Labor Movement: We believe in the power of organized labor to protect workers' rights, ensure fair wages, and improve workplace conditions for all. We support policies that strengthen unions and provide workers with the tools they need to thrive.
- Universal Healthcare: Healthcare is a basic human right, and PVF is committed to advocating for healthcare for all, ensuring that no one is left behind due to their financial status or geographic location.
- Increasing the Minimum Wage: A fair wage is essential to reducing income inequality. PVF works tirelessly to support policies that increase the minimum wage, enabling workers to earn a living wage and support their families.
- Affordable Housing: Affordable housing is a critical issue in Vermont and across the nation. PVF supports policies that make housing accessible and affordable for people of all income levels.
- Campaign Finance Reform: We believe that our democracy should be powered by people, not big money. PVF fights for campaign finance reform that reduces the influence of corporate money in politics and restores the voice of ordinary citizens.
- Ranked Choice Voting: By supporting ranked choice voting, PVF is committed to ensuring that elections are more representative of the diverse views within our communities, leading to a more inclusive and functional democracy.
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: We strive for a society where every individual, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or background, is treated with dignity and respect. PVF works to dismantle systems of oppression and create more inclusive, equitable communities.
- Climate Change Mitigation: The fight against climate change is urgent. PVF advocates for strong environmental policies that address climate change, protect Vermont’s natural beauty, and promote sustainable economic growth.
