The progressive movement is on the march in America and this
accessible book points toward a destination. Sixteen for '16 offers
a new agenda for the 2016 US election crafted around sixteen core
principles that all progressives can believe in, from securing jobs
to saving the Earth. Decades of destructive social, economic, and
political policies have devastated poor, working, and even middle
class American communities. It is now clear to everyone that the
emperor has no clothes, that harsh austerity does not bring
prosperity, and that the wealthy have no intention to see their
wealth trickle down. Each generation is no longer better off than
the ones that came before. America now needs jobs, infrastructure,
a rededication to public education, universal healthcare, higher
taxes on higher incomes, a more secure Social Security, an end to
the rule of the bankers, stronger unions, a living minimum wage,
better working conditions, an end to the prison state, secure
reproductive rights, voter equality, a more moral foreign policy, a
more sane environmental policy, and action on global warming.
Sixteen for '16 is a manifesto which makes the argument for each of
these positions, clearly, concisely, and supported by hard data. As
ambitious as these policies are, they represent a beginning, not an
end. The progressive agenda laid out in Sixteen for '16 charts a
realistic path toward a better tomorrow.
