Our Campaign Vision 🌟

Castro for Georgia isn’t just a political campaign—it’s a movement to build a future where every working family in Georgia’s 5th District thrives. Our vision is built around three core “North Stars”:

🌟 1. A Home You Can Afford & Keep 🏘️

We believe that housing is a fundamental human right. Right now, too many of our neighbors struggle with rising rents, evictions, and displacement.

Our Plan:

• Affordable Housing Guarantee: Ensuring everyone who works 40 hours can afford stable housing.
• Tenant Protections: Strengthen laws against unjust evictions and rent hikes.
• Community Ownership: Support community land trusts and cooperative housing models that put power back in the hands of residents.

🌟 2. Healthcare Is a Human Right ❤️‍🩹

Healthcare shouldn’t be determined by income or employment status. We envision a future where medical debt and lack of access are relics of the past.

Our Plan:

• Medicare for All: Universal, comprehensive healthcare without premiums, co-pays, or deductibles.
• Expand Healthcare Access: Reverse hospital closures and support neighborhood clinics and telehealth initiatives.
• Protect Reproductive Rights: Guarantee full access to reproductive healthcare and defend against attacks on personal healthcare choices.

🌟 3. Dignified Work & A Fair Economy 💪

Every Georgian deserves a job that pays fair wages, offers stability, and respects workers’ rights.

Our Plan:

• Living Wages: Ensure a $20/hour minimum wage and eliminate tipped wages.
• Support Unions: Make it easier for workers to organize, negotiate fair contracts, and advocate for their rights.
• Fair Economy Legislation: Hold corporations accountable, prevent worker exploitation, and protect small businesses.

How Open Source Empowers Our Vision

Our campaign uses an open-source approach to:

• Demonstrate transparency: You see exactly how decisions and policies are developed.
• Invite collaboration: Your lived experience and input shape better solutions.
• Foster accountability: We openly track our progress and hold ourselves to clear goals.

Join the Movement

You don’t need special skills or experience—just a willingness to help build a fairer future. Here’s how you can start:

• Join our discussions: Share your ideas and feedback openly.
• Contribute directly: Suggest improvements or take on a task that matches your interests.
• Spread the word: Help more people get involved and understand what’s at stake.

Together, we will make Atlanta and Georgia’s 5th District a true example of working-class prosperity, healthcare justice, and housing security.
