Campaign websiteRabb's campaign website stated the following:Building an Affordable and Accessible Society for AllAs costs go up against stagnant wages, we face a growing affordability crisis. Basic goods and services are increasingly impossible for working people to afford. More and more families are rent-burdened, cost-burdened, and forced to make impossible choices between necessities – like paying for food or paying for gas to get to work. Universal basic income and a living wage for all will help tackle the affordability crisis, but we must also create direct public services, including national grocery stores, free high-speed public transit, and high-speed gigabit broadband for every household.Beating the affordability crisis also means passing a strong climate agenda. This includes a Civil Climate Corps that will help create millions of good-paying jobs and ensure a strong and sustainable transition to renewable energy for every community. When people have jobs that pay them for their hard work, clean water, clean air, clean energy, and more green spaces, we can create a future in which our families and communities have everything they need to survive and thrive.Universal Basic Guarantees: Medicare for All, Housing, Food and Water, Free Transit, High-Speed Internet, Childcare, Income, JobsNational Grocery StoresRegulating AI and Big DataA Workers’ Bill of RightsAdult-Use Cannabis  Green Union JobsA Civil Climate CorpsModernized Energy GridsExpand Accessibility and Disability Rights EnforcementNo Hyperscale Data CentersA Just Transition to 100% Renewable EnergySustainable Agriculture and Food SecurityThe Green New DealCommunity Wealth-Building EntrepreneurshipEqual Opportunity Audits ProgramReplacing the Gross Development Product with the Genuine Progress IndicatorReparations Supporting Safer CommunitiesReal safety comes from strong communities, not over-policing or over-prosecuting. We must reduce violence by investing in housing, education, good jobs, and mental health care – the true foundations of stability. When ICE terrorizes our neighbors, when families are separated and innocent people are targeted in the name of citizenship, it is an attack on our communities. When giant corporations and special interests buy up our politicians, and exploit, skirt or change our laws to line their pockets, it is an attack on our right to make our voices heard. When militarized police attack and murder peaceful protestors, it is an attack on our right to stand up for the things we know our communities need most. In Philadelphia, we see that investing in our communities works; crime has dropped along with incarceration and recidivism rates. States across the country are proving that decriminalizing poverty and reducing incarceration actually does lead to lower crime. Community safety is about care, accountability, and investment in people, so every neighborhood can be a place where everyone is safe and free to thrive.Reduce Violence Through Community Support SystemsInvest in Mental Health RespondersTransform Criminal SentencingAbolish the Death Penalty and Death By IncarcerationEnd the War on DrugsUniversal Childcare from Birth to Age 5Free Public Colleges and Vocational TrainingBetter Pay for TeachersAbolish ICE & Dismantle Immigrant Concentration Camps Publicly Fund Elections and Fix Rigged Election MapsImpeachment and Removal of President TrumpReject All Corporate PAC MoneyPeace as a PolicyAmerican leadership for too long has been defined by the violent impact we have on other nations. We must immediately dismantle the military industrial complex, cease all imperialist foreign policy, and end all U.S. led efforts for regime-change.We must stop funding violations of human rights. The genocide in Gaza must end. The genocide in the Sudan must end. Every person deserves to be safe, no matter where their home is. Every state’s right to exist obligates it to extend equal rights to all people.Every President in modern history has avoided Congressional oversight while conducting bombing campaigns and military expeditions abroad. Congress is supposed to act as a check and balance on Presidential war-making authority, but has failed to live up to its responsibility year after year. We must immediately reduce the U.S. military footprint abroad and invest in addressing the root causes of systemic violence across the world.An End to Regime ChangeFree Assembly and Self-Determination for PalestineImmediate and Permanent Ceasefire Between Israel and Palestine Including Release of People Held Without Due ProcessPalestinian Right of Return Under International LawUnrestricted Humanitarian Aid in GazaEnd Economic Support for Fascists AbroadA New War Powers ActNo More Funding for Violations of International and U.S. LawEnding the Embargo on CubaPublic Ownership RevitalizedFrom Independence Hall to Fairmont Park to public libraries and rec centers across the country, the federal government’s strong economic investments have historically created pathways to productivity and pride. By employing millions of people, the government has lifted families out of poverty and provided sustainable and quality jobs during times of desperate need.As a Democratic Socialist, I believe that revitalizing federal public works programs would reclaim pathways to long-term economic mobility and create a focus point for critical national efforts like infrastructure upgrades, green energy conversion, nature conservation, and more. Social Infrastructure Investments in Public Parks, Libraries, Community Centers, Urban Gardens, Third SpacesParticipatory DemocracyEstablish Baby Bonds and Invest in Civic EngagementUnion Board RepresentationNational Projects and JobsSocial Housing Scaled NationallyRenovate and Retrofit Publicly Owned Buildings and Vacant PropertiesClimate CrisisAs we continue to face the increasing impacts of climate change, we need action now. Decarbonizing our economy is not just good for the environment and our health and safety, it will also strengthen economic opportunity for so many of our most vulnerable communities. Passing a strong climate agenda that includes a Civil Climate Corps will help create millions of good-paying jobs and ensure a strong and sustainable transition to renewable energy for every community. Clean water, clean air, clean energy, more green space, and millions of jobs is a vision of the future our families and communities need to survive and thrive.Green Union JobsA Civil Climate CorpsModernized Energy GridsA Decarbonized SocietyGreen Spaces and Clean Air and WaterNo Hyperscale Data CentersA Just Transition to 100% Renewable EnergySustainable Agriculture and Food SecurityDefending Our DemocracyIn cities and communities across the country, we are feeling the devastation of our collapsing democracy. Our institutions are being undermined, our freedom of speech is under attack, and our very ability to count our votes questioned.Our democracy is also threatened by a deadly ICE crackdown. When families are separated and innocent people are targeted in the name of citizenship, it is an attack on our core democratic values. When billionaires buy up local media and stifle the news to fit their worldview, it is an attack on us. When giant corporations buy up politicians, exploit, skirt or change our laws to line their pockets, it is an attack on our ability to make our voice heard in our democracy.But we can have a real democracy. It’s time to step up to defend our rights.Abolish ICE & Dismantle Immigrant Concentration Camps End Corporate Media MonopoliesProtect Freedom of SpeechPublicly Fund Elections and Fix Rigged Election MapsStrengthen Voting RightsReject All Corporate PAC MoneySupreme Court Overhaul Impeachment and Removal of President TrumpFully Funded EducationOur country’s education system is in shambles. School buildings filled with lead and asbestos, overcrowded classrooms, and billionaire-backed competition for tight school funding have all undermined public school education. A truly universal child care system for kids from birth to age five, an equitably funded K-12 public school system, and truly free public college and job training programs will help ensure ongoing education access and opportunity for all. Universal Childcare from Birth to Age 5Fully Funded Public Schools Free Public Colleges and Vocational TrainingBetter Pay for Teachers— Christopher Rabb's campaign website (May 6, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
