    WHAT IS DONE WAITING?

    Done Waiting is a disruptive army of young people fighting to elect Progressives and bend the establishment to the will of the people.

     

    We are an entirely volunteer-run organization and we are using our immense people power to endorse progressive candidates across the country. We help them win by making hundreds of thousands of calls for them. We will also use our army to pressure centrist politicians so they start valuing basic human rights over the will of corporations and the elite.

     

    We are using our working class platform to educate the youth on the untold people’s history rather than the narrative pushed by the ruling class, and we advocate for candidates and policies that defend the interests of ordinary people.

     

    We are sick and tired of being told to wait for changes that are long overdue. We are Done Waiting. 

    ​

    Here are our top five polices: 

    • Green New Deal

    • Racial Justice 

    • Medicare for All 

    • Debt Free College 

    • No Corporate Money in Politics

    THE DONE WAITING PLATFORM

    It's a platform with a backbone.  

    The Green New Deal
    The Green New Deal
    Climate change is not a joke. We can't keep kicking this issue down the road. We will solve this crisis by creating millions of green energy jobs to revamp our economy. Policy brief included.
    No Corporate Money
    No Corporate Money
    Money is the root of all evil in politics. It's why so many smart people in government refuse to do anything. Done Waiting does not taking any corporate PAC money. We are looking forward to answering only to voters, not big donors. Policy brief included.
    Tuition-Free College & Canceling Student Debt
    Tuition-Free College & Canceling Student Debt
    Education is a human right yet our generation is being financially punished and saddled with extreme student debt for pursuing an education. Policy brief included.
    Medicare for All
    Medicare for All
    Nobody chooses to get sick. It's time we stop being the black sheep of the developed world-- let's give healthcare to our people now. Policy brief included.
    Racial Justice
    Racial Justice
    We must recognize that communities of color have been getting the short end of the stick for centuries. We must enact policies to end the pervasive institutional racism in this country. Policy brief included.
    Criminal Justice Reform
    Criminal Justice Reform
    We need to legalize marijuana because we have sent way too many people of color to jail for it. And we have a private prison system that profits off of keeping people incarcerated. That needs to go. Policy brief included.
    Standing with the People of Palestine
    Standing with the People of Palestine
    The human rights of the Palestinian people need to be respected. We must stop the human rights violations that they have been living with for decades. Policy brief included.
    Ending Gun Violence & Mass Shootings
    Ending Gun Violence & Mass Shootings
    No weapons of war on our streets. Buy back assault weapons. We can't keep waking up every day to another mass shooting. Policy brief included.
    Immigration Justice
    Immigration Justice
    When we are keeping kids in cages, there is no justice. Nobody wants to be fleeing their country for safety. We need to return to being the compassionate people that we are. Policy brief included.
    COVID-19 Response
    COVID-19 Response
    The COVID-19 epidemic has further exposed horrible inequity and the inadequacy of our social safety nets. This pandemic has shown us more than ever that we can not prioritize profit over health. We must protect workers and people before corporations in the fallout of this pandemic. Policy Brief Included.
    Destabilization and Military Intervention
    Destabilization and Military Intervention
    We are not the world's police. The war in Afghanistan has been going on for far too long. It's time to bring our troops home and stop invading and destabilizing other countries. Policy brief included.
    Family Support
    Family Support
    Our society has gotten so stressful. We need policies that will reduce the stress on families. Things like paid sick leave, paid maternal and paternal leave, and universal childcare. Policy brief included.
    Anti-Corruption
    Anti-Corruption
    Zero-tolerance policy for corruption. Nobody is above the law, even the President. Donald Trump. We can't keep looking away while our government officials obstruct justice and destroy our institutions.
    Affordable Housing
    Affordable Housing
    Rents are too high. Housing is a human right. We will not only fight for affordable rent policies, but also fight to build abundant, safe and accessibly-priced housing throughout the country. Policy brief included.
    Smarter Transportation
    Smarter Transportation
    No one enjoys traffic. Car insurance rates are way too high. We need to build our cities for people and not for cars. We will advance policies like the Green New Deal that build mass transit and invest in electric vehicles that reduce our reliance on fossil fuel. Policy brief included.
    Gender Equality
    Gender Equality
    Pro choice. Men don't know what it's like to be pregnant; they don't get to tell women what to do with their bodies. And how dare a company pay a woman less than a man? That needs to end. Policy brief included.
    LGBTQIA+ Ally
    LGBTQIA+ Ally
    Nobody should be forced to feel ashamed of who they are. Members of the LBTGQIA community deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and they deserve the same rights that all other Americans enjoy. Policy brief included.
    Investing in Our Schools
    Investing in Our Schools
    Schools are more segregated now than they were in the 1970s. Inequities in quality of education directly correlate with race and poverty inequities. Teachers' salaries are going down, as costs of their degrees are going up. We must completely transform our education system so every child receives the same level of education, and every teacher is valued. Policy Brief Included.
    Labor
    Labor
    We don’t need any more politicians that protect corporate interests over the working class. We must ensure that unions remain strong and vibrant by electing pro-labor individuals to office. Workers’ rights to strike and collectively bargain must be protected. Policy Brief Included.

    Economic Justice
    Economic Justice
    A few people in this country own the vast majority of the wealth. We need a wealth tax. Amazon shouldn't pay $0 in taxes. We give out tax breaks to corporations like it's candy. We need to have corporations pay their fair share and roll back corporate tax breaks. Policy brief included.
    Supporting People With Disabilities
    Supporting People With Disabilities
    Our system has failed so many individuals with disabilities. The filing process is clumsy and inefficient, special education programs are underfunded, and our health care infrastructure puts profit over people. We want to address the specific needs that affect individuals with disabilities. Policy Brief included.
    Autonomy for Indigenous People
    Autonomy for Indigenous People
    America has consistently violated the rights, treaties, and autonomy of Indigenous nations. America must take responsibility for the effects of this history. In regards to Indigenous nations, the U.S. government must move away from a relationship of paternalism towards one of partnership. Policy Brief included.
    Supporting Senior Citizens
    Supporting Senior Citizens

    Everyone deserves the right to age with dignity, but our current system is not good enough. As our population continues to get older, we need to move away from 401Ks back to pension plans, adopt a medicare for all system to look after everyone, as well as address regulatory issues in terms of assisted living, elder abuse, and caregiving. Policy Brief included.
    Supporting our Veterans
    Supporting our Veterans
    Military service is a way to pay for school, housing, or health care. However, Done Waiting believes that you should not have to risk your life in order to access resources. We must protect those who want to go into military service, while also providing safety nets for those who decide not to participate. Done Waiting acknowledges the immense sacrifice veterans make, and we must support them once they return home. Policy Brief Included.
    Self Determination for Puerto Rico and Statehood for D.C.
    Self Determination for Puerto Rico and Statehood for D.C.
    For over 100 years, D.C. and Puerto Rico have been subject to second-class status in our system. Done Waiting supports statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico's decision to self-determine their status. Whether the territory chooses statehood, increased autonomy, or independence, the United States government has a responsibility to aid them in their transition. Policy Brief Included.
    How Will We Pay for Our Big Plans?
    How Will We Pay for Our Big Plans?
    Republicans are never asked how they will pay for increasing the military budget or corporate tax rates. As progressives, we are expected to justify how we will pay for life-saving and essential plans. We only seem to have empty pockets when it comes to health care, education, and the environment. Policy Brief Included.
    Agriculture and Food
    Agriculture and Food
    Factory farming has destroyed our health and environment. We must take the power from the monopolies and put it back in the hands of family farmers. We must address climate change in order to protect small farmers from rising temperatures. Instead of subsidizing unhealthy foods, we must reinvigorate our system to support small farmers and encourage consumption of a healthy, varied diet. Policy Brief included.
