Build mental health and rehabilitation centers in counties with ample land for people with mental health or drug addictions issues. Offer AA-type programs.

No source of energy we produce is CO2 neutral. Besides developing new (hydrogen technology) & making cleaner existing sources of energy (recyclable solar panels), we need to have a blanket policy to help cut CO2 emissions. This includes:

- investing in innovation

- manage forests, plant billions of trees

- enhance the current train track system for cargo and people 

- use agriculture practices that include natural fertilizers, low tiling, crop rotation, and no pesticides

- curb energy consumption

Create a task force with residents and officials to address the unresolved issues facing those communities: - families’ housing debt - lack of support from FEMA - interaction with the SBA This Committee will brief us weekly so that we know what to focus on. We will also help those willing to relocate out of fire zones and demand that every home meets the fire department building recommendations established right after the Paradise fire that did not get implemented because of political pressure.

 

Provide worker protection for essential workers with low-wage jobs. Offer free education and employment training. Increase healthcare and mental health services. Provide affordable childcare. Address the racial and gender wealth gaps so everyone can build long-term financial stability regardless of race, gender, or zip code. Build more affordable housing. Support the reentry of people that have served with assistance, housing, education, and employment. Keep lowering the criminal system costs.
