California is the fourth-largest economy in the world. 40 million people generate $4 trillion in wealth every year. But that wealth doesn’t go to us—it goes to 194 billionaires who hoard $1.2 trillion while half the state lives paycheck to paycheck. The top 1% owns nearly half of everything. The bottom 50% owns almost nothing. This is not a democracy—it’s a billionaire dictatorship, where corporations buy politicians and rig the system against poor and working-class people.

We don’t need “better” billionaires. We need to take back and control the wealth we create.

As governor, Ramsey will:

• Guarantee an affordable cost of living. Launch a constitutional amendment to make housing, healthcare, lifelong education, a job, childcare and a dignified retirement guaranteed rights for every Californian—not profits for the rich.

• Tax the rich and abolish the billionaires. Raise income and asset taxes on the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations. Redistribute the wealth and restore the power to working people.

• Ban corporate lobbying and political interference. Outlaw all corporate donations, ads, and ballot measure spending. No more recalls bankrolled by billionaires and corporations. No more legal bribery.

This campaign is about building a people’s government—a government that doesn’t serve donors or CEOs, but working people’s needs. It’s time to flip the script. We are the people who create California’s wealth, we should control what it’s used for!

California is in a housing emergency. But it’s not because we don’t have enough homes—it’s because banks, landlords, and hedge funds treat our homes like casino chips. Nearly half of Californians are renters, and over a million are behind on rent. Tens of thousands face eviction and foreclosure. Rents have skyrocketed up by 80% while wages have barely moved. And the landlords? They’re Wall Street firms, not our neighbors. They collude with banks and insurance companies to push us out, raise rents, and block the rent control we need. Working-class families—especially Black, Brown, and immigrant communities—have carried the brunt of this crisis for decades.

Our campaign is fighting for a California where homes are for living, not for profit. As governor, Ramsey will:

• Declare a housing emergency and freeze rents statewide. No more rent hikes while wages stay flat. End all evictions and foreclosures during the housing emergency and cancel rent and mortgage payments for those hit hardest.

• Create 1.4 million units of truly affordable, public housing—not “luxury” condos, but housing that working people can actually afford. California will transform vacant properties into public housing while building new units.

• Ban corporate landlords and stop hedge funds and banks from owning the homes we live in. Enact real rent control and tenant protections statewide—because where you live shouldn’t depend on how much money your landlord wants to squeeze from you.

• Provide affordable home financing for all. We will establish a California Public Bank that will offer low-interest, low down payment home loans to all working people, as well as low-interest refinancing.

This campaign stands with tenants and homeowners, not landlords and banks. We fight for homes—not profits.

For Californians, getting sick is a financial risk. Millions are uninsured or underinsured. Even those with insurance skip care because of outrageous deductibles, copays, or surprise bills. Healthcare corporations rake in billions while people ration insulin, skip mental health care, or die waiting for appointments. Immigrants, low-income families, and Black, Brown, and disabled people suffer most under this system of profit over people.

Healthcare should never depend on your wallet. It’s time to guarantee care—full stop.

As governor, Ramsey will:

• Implement a free universal single payer healthcare system for all Californians. No fees, no premiums, no deductibles—ever. Cover everyone and everything—dental, vision, mental health, gender-affirming care, reproductive care, and elder care. Everyone’s covered regardless of immigration status. 

• Abolish medical debt and make it illegal. No one should be harassed for getting sick.

• Build free, high-quality public senior housing with nursing care, so no one faces old age care alone or in poverty.

Real health means more than a hospital visit—it means safe homes, stable jobs, nutritious food, and care across a lifetime. California grows the country’s food and fuels the country’s wealth—we can afford to care for our own.

Ramsey’s plan takes healthcare back from corporate profiteers and puts it in the hands of the people: free, full, and for all.

Every child in California deserves a world-class education—no matter their zip code, language, race, or income. But California, the richest state in the richest country in the world, ranks near the bottom in literacy, per-pupil spending, and graduation rates. The system is failing working-class students, especially Black, Latino, immigrant, and Indigenous youth. Schools are under-funded. Teachers are overworked and underpaid. Families are crushed by the cost of childcare and higher education. And corporate-backed politicians keep pushing privatization schemes that drain resources from our public schools.

We’re done letting billionaires decide what kind of education our kids get.

As governor, Ramsey will:

• Fully fund public education from cradle to college. No more crowded classrooms, crumbling buildings, or missing school nurses.
  
  

• Guarantee free, universal childcare and Pre-K—so every child starts school ready to thrive, and every working parent gets the support they need.
  
  

• Make all public colleges, trade schools, and job retraining programs free—because education doesn’t stop at high school.

Education is not a market. It’s a right. Ramsey’s plan ends the two-tiered system and makes California’s schools the best in the country—for all of us, not just the wealthy few.

Immigrants are not outsiders—they are California. One in three Californians is an immigrant. Half of our kids have at least one immigrant parent. Immigrants grow our food, build our cities, and care for our elders—while the state and federal governments target them with harassment, detention, and deportation. ICE rips apart families. Undocumented workers pay billions in taxes, yet are locked out of the programs they help fund. The politicians talk about “diversity,” but won’t defend our neighbors when ICE comes knocking.

Our movement stands for full equality—no exceptions.

As governor, Ramsey will:

• Enforce California as a true sanctuary state. Ban all cooperation with ICE—not just by police, but any agency or institution receiving state funds. This includes prosecuting and decertifying cops who collaborate with ICE and shutting down ICE detention centers. 

• Guarantee universal access to housing, healthcare, jobs, and schools—regardless of immigration status.

• Massively expand publicly funded immigrant legal defense and rapid response teams—so no one stands alone in immigration court, including launching a statewide Know Your Rights campaign to arm every community with the tools to fight back.

We won’t let the federal government terrorize our communities. California must be a shield for all immigrants—not a trap. Full rights. No deportations. Period.

California is on fire—literally. The climate crisis is here, and working-class communities are paying the price. Heat waves, wildfires, floods, and droughts are hitting us harder every year. Meanwhile, the same corporations that caused this crisis—PG&E, SoCal Edison, fossil fuel giants—keep jacking up rates, cutting power, and raking in profits. They’ve poisoned our air, stolen our water, and left us to burn while they cash in. The politicians let them do it.

We won’t wait for the corporations to fix the crisis they created. We’ll take back the power—literally.

As governor, Ramsey will:

• Abolish private utilities and build a statewide public energy system. No more PG&E wildfires. No more rate hikes. Energy will be publicly owned, democratically run, and delivered in the public interest.
  
  

• Make all public transit free across the state. Expand electric buses, trains, and clean infrastructure to connect working-class communities and slash emissions.
  
  

• Guarantee free renewable energy for every household. Solar, wind, geothermal—clean energy will be a human right, not a luxury.
  
  

• Implement a real climate transition plan. With urgent and massive investments in green energy, California can phase out fossil fuels and start repairing the damage done to our environment.

Capitalism set the planet on fire. Ramsey’s campaign is about putting people and the planet before profit—starting with energy and transit for all.

California workers create $4 trillion in wealth every year—but most of us still live paycheck to paycheck. Half of all workers earn less than $55,000. Meanwhile, the top 1% rake in $3.6 million a year. Since the late 1970s, worker productivity has skyrocketed—but wages have barely moved. Housing costs have exploded. Healthcare is out of reach. We are working longer hours, in more dangerous conditions, with fewer rights. This is not an accident—it’s the outcome of a system built to exploit labor for profit.

We’re done begging. It’s time to guarantee dignity, security, and employment for every worker in California.

As governor, Ramsey will:

• Guarantee a job for every worker at a minimum of $30/hour. No more starvation wages while CEOs get rich off our labor.

• Enshrine union rights for all workers, regardless of industry, job classification, or immigration status. Every worker will have the right to organize, strike, and collectively bargain.

• Stop AI from stealing jobs without compensation. Technology should make our lives easier, not replace us for corporate profits. Public funding will retrain displaced workers and ensure AI serves people, not just billionaire tech bros. 

No more gig jobs without rights. No more burnout without rest. No more workers without power. Ramsey’s campaign fights for a California where labor comes before profit—and every worker has the freedom to thrive.

Black Californians are 7% of the population—but nearly 30% of the unhoused. They face double the unemployment rate of white Californians, and their median household wealth is just one-tenth of white households. This isn’t by accident. It’s the result of centuries of stolen labor, stolen land, redlining, racist policing, and economic exclusion. California’s economy was built on the exploitation of Black labor—and the state continues to enforce that inequality through poverty, mass incarceration, and police violence.

To end the war on Black America, we need more than words. We need power, justice, and repair.

As governor, Ramsey will:

• Deliver full reparations for slavery, Jim Crow, and ongoing economic exclusion. Reparations will include housing, education, direct payments, and investments in Black communities statewide.

• Create a State Department of Anti-Discrimination — run by elected leaders from historically oppressed communities—with the power to strike down or rewrite laws that uphold systemic racism in housing, policing, education, labor, and more.

• End the militarization of the police. No cop cities. No state or local participation in the federal 1033 Program, which floods our police departments with military weapons. Place departments under community control. End stop-and-frisk practices. 

California cannot move forward while continuing to brutalize Black communities. Ramsey’s campaign stands for truth, justice, and full liberation—for Black Californians, and for all working-class people.

Women and LGBTQ people carry the weight of California’s inequality. They’re underpaid, overworked, denied care, and pushed out of safe housing. Black and Brown women are hit hardest—paid as little as 56 cents on the dollar compared to white men. One-third of LGBTQ people and women of color skip medical care because they can’t afford it. Single mothers and trans people face skyrocketing rents and brutal housing discrimination, respectively. Meanwhile, corporations and politicians rake in donations while doing nothing to protect our bodies, our families, or our lives.

It’s time to put working-class women and LGBTQ people in power—and make equality the law of the land.

As governor, Ramsey will:

• Enforce equal pay, parental leave, and job protections for all workers. Wage theft, pay discrimination, and denial of leave will be criminal offenses.

• Guarantee full healthcare rights for all—including reproductive care, abortion access, and gender-affirming care—free at the point of use.

• Expand public housing that is safe, accessible, and affordable, with rent caps and tenant protections that work for single mothers, queer youth, and low-income families.

• Fund community-led care networks that support survivors of gender-based violence, especially in rural and underserved communities.

Justice for women and LGBTQ people means more than representation. It means power, safety, dignity, and control over our lives—at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

California holds massive investments that enable Israeli crimes against humanity. The state's pension systems invest in Israeli companies and weapons manufacturers that aid and abet genocide and occupation. The University of California system alone holds $32 billion in companies targeted for divestment. Students have organized encampments demanding university administrators stop investments enabling Israeli violence. CalSTRS teachers are demanding divestment from companies killing Palestinian children. 

As governor, Ramsey will: 

• Mandate full divestment of state retirement plans from companies enabling Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide. Working with the State Controller, require CalPERS, CalSTRS, UC, CSU, and all state investment funds to divest from weapons manufacturers, surveillance companies, banks, and corporations that profit from Israeli violations of international law.

• Reinvest divested funds in California communities. Redirect money from Israeli apartheid into affordable housing, public healthcare, education, and green energy jobs for California workers.

No more secret investments in genocide. When we divest from Israeli apartheid, we're also fighting against the war profiteers who steal money from schools and hospitals to build bombs. It’s time to choose: profits from genocide, or justice for all working people. Ramsey chooses justice.
