Get StartedOur criminal justice system is built for profiteering and privatization, meaning the rich get richer and the marginalized among us are preyed on for profit. Amani seeks to end mass incarceration, ban for-profit prisons, abolish cash bail, federally legalize marijuana and end the costly War on Drugs, and close the school-to-prison pipeline. Learn more
College and opportunities for higher education are increasingly out of reach for working-class Americans. We need to move public colleges to a tuition-free system, ensuring every American can pursue higher education in college or a trade school. While working towards a tuition-free system, Amani supports a one-time policy of student debt cancellation by cancelling any federally held student loans and purchasing any privately owned loans currently held, liberating generations of Americans from the burden of student debt.

Addressing climate change is the moral imperative of the 21st century. Not addressing it means a radically different, drastically more difficult life for our children and grandchildren. Amani will join those in Congress championing a Green New Deal that’ll get us to a 100% renewable energy system in the next 15 years, radically address climate change and empower and employ hundreds of thousands of Americans to rebuild, restructure, and modernize infrastructure around the country.

We need to restore Glass-Steagall, implement a wealth tax on the richest 0.1% of Americans, and level the playing field so power is vested in the many, not an elite few. Learn more
Tied to inflation, today’s minimum wage should be about $22. Amani will fight for a federally mandated $15 minimum wage and tie it to inflation, ensuring that Americans are paid a living wage that keeps up with the cost of living. Learn more
