Economic Dignity and Opportunity for All

At PeopleFirst2030, we believe that everyone who works hard should be able to support their family and build a secure future. A strong economy starts with strong workers — not just corporate profits.

When families earn fair wages, have paid leave, and can afford housing and healthcare, entire communities become more stable and prosperous. Supporting small businesses and local jobs means stronger neighborhoods and more local tax dollars to invest in schools, parks, and public safety.

What’s in it for you?

• Higher wages and fairer working conditions
• Paid family and medical leave so you never have to choose between a paycheck and caring for loved ones
• Lower healthcare costs so you can keep more of your paycheck
• Stronger local economies with more small businesses and good jobs

Our Action Plan

• Raise wages and strengthen worker protections, so no one is left behind
• Support small businesses and local entrepreneurs, building stronger neighborhood economies
• Expand affordable housing initiatives, reducing rent and mortgage burdens
• Ensure access to affordable, high-quality childcare and paid leave, giving families stability
