The People’s Plan is a comprehensive policy agenda designed to help us build power and redistribute resources in St. Louis city.
Our education, health, housing, and policing systems are in desperate need of an overhaul. Centuries of racism and socioeconomic inequity have left their mark on these systems, resulting in a vastly different quality of life for white and Black St. Louisans and ending countless Black lives.
The status quo is both intolerable and unsustainable. We can either make a long-overdue correction towards justice, equity, and democracy, or remain the paradigmatic example of an American city ravaged by racism and unbridled capitalism. We have a chance to reshape public policy, allowing us to shift outcomes and build a new vision for our city that is truly equitable, sustainable, and inclusive.
The People’s Plan will allow us to do just that.
