Our platform

At EWAY, we believe in empowering women, amplifying young voices, and building a more inclusive democracy. Our platform is centered on expanding civic engagement, increasing representation in government, protecting fundamental rights, investing in education and opportunity, and supporting policies that help working families thrive. We are committed to fostering the next generation of leaders and ensuring that everyone has a voice in shaping the future of our communities and our country.

$20+ federal minimum wage

Raise the federal minimum wage to at least $20 an hour and index it to inflation so working people never again see their wages lose value while the cost of living rises. No one working full-time should live in poverty.
DC + Puerto Rico Statehood

Grant full statehood to Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, giving millions of Americans full voting representation in Congress and an equal voice in the federal government. If you live under U.S. laws and pay U.S. taxes, you deserve full representation.
End Veteran Homelessness

Every veteran deserves a safe and stable place to call home. We support investments in permanent housing, homelessness prevention, transitional services, and employment assistance for veterans. No one who served our country should be left sleeping on the streets or struggling to navigate a fragmented system for basic assistance.
Guaranteed Paid Family Leave

Guarantee paid family and medical leave for every worker, so no one has to choose between a paycheck and caring for a newborn, recovering from an illness, or supporting a loved one.
LGBTQ+ Equality Constitutional Amendment

Guarantee equal protection under the Constitution for LGBTQ+ Americans and prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Equality should not depend on which state you live in or which political party is in power.
Reproductive Freedom

We support the protection and expansion of reproductive rights, ensuring that every individual has the ability to make their own personal healthcare decisions without unnecessary government interference. We believe access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including contraception and safe medical services, is essential to protecting personal freedom, dignity, and equality.
Universal Child Care

Make high-quality, affordable child care available to every family. Parents should not have to choose between working, paying their bills, and caring for their children.
Voting Rights

We believe in building an economy that works for everyone by creating access to good-paying jobs, supporting small businesses, and investing in workforce development programs. We support policies that reduce economic inequality and help families achieve financial stability through fair wages, affordable housing, and expanded opportunities.
Public Education

We believe every student deserves access to a strong, fully funded public education system that prepares them for college, careers, and life beyond the classroom. We support investments in teachers, school resources, mental health services, and safe learning environments so that all students—regardless of background or zip code—have an equal opportunity to succeed.
Women’s Empowerment

We support policies that promote gender equality, expand opportunities for women, and remove systemic barriers that limit leadership and success. This includes increasing representation in politics and leadership positions, ensuring equal pay for equal work, and supporting programs that uplift women in education, business, and public service.
Economic Opportunity

We believe in building an economy that works for everyone by creating access to good-paying jobs, supporting small businesses, and investing in workforce development programs. We support policies that reduce economic inequality and help families achieve financial stability through fair wages, affordable housing, and expanded opportunities.
