- A healthy, vibrant and fair economic system uplifts us all. Iymen believes that we are all connected and that no one should be left behind. If we support legislation which encourages hard work and innovation while also supporting and empowering ordinary people, everyone benefits.
- Democracy is a core American value, and Iymen will prioritize strengthening democratic processes as well as public confidence in the government and electoral system. The goal of democratic reforms should be ensuring every American has an equal vote, encouraging broad participation in government, and ensuring that this country is run by all its people, not just by its elite and its corporations.
- Health and safety are prerequisites to everything else we value in our society. The government has a responsibility to work with individuals, private industry and civil society to protect public health and maintain safe communities. Iymen favors universal access to healthcare; strong federal, local and international partnerships in responding to public health emergencies; and federal involvement in the reduction of violent crime.
Reform of the funding structure of the public school system. Iymen favors more equitable funding of public schools, including through increased federal funding of public education and decreased reliance on property taxes as a source of funding.
Medicare for All
Property tax relief and reform for homeowners
Increased federal support for community safety
Immigration reform oriented towards human rights protections and economic development
