Gloria La Riva in Survey of 2016 Presidential campaign websites
On Corporations:
Capitalist banking is a form of organized crime
Seize the banks--Jail Wall Street criminals: The banks' vast wealth came from the people's labor and tax- dollar bailout. Capitalist banking is a form of organized crime, rewarding greed and fraud with obscene bonuses.
These billionaires looted and destroyed the economy. It is time to seize their assets and use those resources in the interests of the vast majority. Power must be taken out of the hands of the super rich, and the Wall Street criminals must be held accoun

On Environment:
Environmental racism pollutes our neighborhoods
Global warming, environmental racism polluting our neighborhoods, acidified and depleted oceans, fracking, critical drought, plastics choking the seas, nuclear weapons and waste -- it is clear that capitalism and production for profit
are destroying the planet and threatening all life. Harnessing the earth's renewable resources of sea, wind and solar power to create sustainable energy, seizing the oil and coal companies to stop their fossil- fuel pollution, stopping nuclear weapons
production, organizing production of food and goods to meet people's needs rather than the bottom line of corporations who produce regardless of the cost to the environment -- these are the most urgent steps needed to reverse climate change.
But this requires making people's right to survive above the rights of the capitalists to make a profit.

On Welfare & Poverty:
Make affordable housing a Constitutional right
- For the earth to live, capitalism must end
- Make a job a Constitutional right
- Make free health care, free education & affordable housing Constitutional rights: These are essentials of life and should not be run for profit.
Create a completely free and public health-care system. Make education free-cancel all student debt. Stop all foreclosures and evictions-end all mortgage interest payments to the banks.

On Foreign Policy:
Immediate lifting of the U.S. blockade on Cuba
The Party for Socialism and Liberation and all true friends of Cuba demand the immediate lifting of the U.S. blockade for completely different reasons than those advanced by Clinton and the U.S. ruling class.For more than 55 years, Cuba's people have
been subjected to a crushing policy of blockade to force them to submit to U.S. dictates. Denying a whole people medicines, food and the necessities of life and thwarting commerce and trade internationally-is a genocidal policy.
U.S. imperialism has created a massive arsenal of economic and political weapons that comprise what is more accurately called "Blockade."
"Embargo" does not begin to describe what Washington heaped on Cuba, causing $1.2 trillion in economic damages.
In all these years, Cuba never surrendered. Despite the harsh blows caused by the U.S. financial, commercial and trade blockade, Cuba has survived precisely because of socialism and the overwhelming support of the people.
