Survey of 2020 Presidential campaign websites: on Civil Rights

Mike Bloomberg: Guarantee equal treatment and equal rights for LGBTQ+ people

Mike will launch a federal "Respect for All" initiative to combat bullying, harassment and discrimination. He will promote school-based mental health programs, including suicide prevention efforts, and protect LGBTQ+ youth from the harmful practice of conversion therapy. Mike will expand support for shelters and services for homeless youth, and ensure equal treatment of child and families in the child welfare system, as well as LGBTQ+ seniors in federally funded long-term care facilities.

Mike Bloomberg: Protect voting rights; require automatic registration

Mike will create a uniform, transparent, and inclusive districting process that will require states to establish independent redistricting commissions when drawing federal congressional districts. This is especially important for communities of color, who have long been disenfranchised by unfair, partisan redistricting.

Mike will require policies like automatic voter registration and early voting, and ensuring the availability and accessibility of polling places. Mike will upgrade election infrastructure and protect the integrity of our federal elections by mandating the use of state-of-the-art voting machines.

Mike Bloomberg: Set labor rules to end the gender pay gap

Tom Steyer: Tell Congress that we need our 5 basic rights

1. The Right to an Equal Vote
2. The Right to Clean Air & Clean Water
3. The Right to Learn
4. The Right to a Living Wage
5. The Right to Health

Tom Steyer: Fight racial disparities in our criminal justice system

But this central American value is under assault from those sworn to protect it--Donald Trump and the Republicans. From immigration to voting rights to access to health care to racial disparities in our criminal justice system, our fellow Americans face the threat of increased discrimination. NextGen America is proud to stand with them and work to realize the promise of equality America makes to us all.

Howie Hawkins: Reparations for African-Americans slavery

Bill de Blasio: NYC Unity Project: invest in LGBTQ youth

Mike Gravel: $30 billion per year for National Reparations Trust Fund

The US should create a National Commission on Reparations, to assess claims from descendants of those affected by discriminatory government policies. [Then], establish a National Reparations Trust Fund (NRTF), funded by an infusion of $30 billion per year from government coffers. Each year, 20 percent of the fund would be paid out; 25 percent of this money would go toward programs to benefit historically black colleges and universities, Native American communities, and education in low-income communities hurt by policies like redlining. The other 75 percent would be paid out directly to those on the list of disadvantaged groups.

Mike Gravel: Include sexual orientation & gender identity as civil rights

The United States should amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination due to sexual orientation and/or gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, public education, federal funding, and credit.

Marianne Williamson: Expand LGBTQ rights to end discrimination

This is not only unacceptable; this is in direct violation of our founding principles.

Generation after generation, people have fought to rid our country of the "except for's." "Except for blacks," "except for women," and so forth. Today, we are challenged by the ongoing prejudice that seeks to repudiate the fundamental American dedication to freedom and equality for all. "Except for them" is a stain on our national character.

Marianne Williamson: $200 billion for reparations for slavery

For that reason, I propose a $200 billion-$500 billion plan of reparations for slavery, the money to be disbursed over a period of 20 years. An esteemed council of African-American leaders would determine the educational and economic projects to which the money would be given.

Racism is an American character defect, for which we must atone, make amends, and be willing to change.

Howard Schultz: Regardless of skin color, get every American represented

Government for the people means exactly that. It means a government that prioritizes the security, the prosperity, and liberty of every American citizen. It means no interest comes before the people's interest. Ladies and Gentlemen, that includes political parties. Government by the people means that citizens are in charge of politicians, not the other way around.
