Congressional Progressive Caucus Unveils Ambitious 2025 Agenda

The agenda focuses on raising wages, healthcare reform, and education, aiming to excite the progressive base ahead of the 2024 elections.

The 2025 agenda includes a $17 minimum wage by 2028, free public higher education, and comprehensive policing reform.
It emphasizes economic measures like lowering healthcare costs and expanding Social Security, alongside cultural policies such as legalizing marijuana and ensuring reproductive rights.
The agenda avoids foreign policy issues, focusing solely on domestic concerns to unify Democrats and avoid divisive topics.
Endorsed by nearly 30 advocacy organizations, the agenda seeks to address the needs of working families and strengthen workers' rights.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal highlights the agenda as a crucial element to prevent a potential second Trump presidency and to galvanize the progressive base.
