Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Address racial healing through Targeted Community Repair

In the case of race relations, reconciliation includes repairing the damage caused by centuries of bigotry. Our administration will take racial healing seriously through a program of Targeted Community Repair. Our operating principle is not guilt for the sins of one's ancestors, but rather compassion. We will invoke the authentic desire in all Americans, white and black, liberal and conservative, to improve the condition of our Black and Native brothers and sisters.

Larry Elder: Critical Race Theory increases racial tensions in America

The Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) cults are increasing--not decreasing--racial tensions in America. CRT and DEI spread the lie that racism is ingrained in every aspect of American society and that our institutions and millions of Americans are inherently racist. CRT and DEI do not belong in any government institution, least of all the United States Armed Forces. And they do not belong in any corporation that receives large government contracts.

Marianne Williamson: Denial of LGBTQ rights is a stain on our national character

There is still no federal law explicitly protecting the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities from discrimination. These communities, therefore, do not enjoy the full breadth of freedoms that this country espouses to guarantee to each and every citizen. This is in direct violation of our founding principles. The idea that there should be God-given life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, "except for them," is a stain on our national character.

Marianne Williamson: Use presidency to advocate for the things women care about

As the first woman President, I would be deeply aware of my pivotal role in ushering in a new era of female leadership. If I am given the authority, I will use the full powers of the presidency to advocate for the things women care about. Statistics show us that women care more about the environment, and the earth itself than most men. Consequently, it is not only supporting women economically but adopting their mindsets of protection of community and planet, that needs to be a priority.

Will Hurd: Don't be a jerk, racist, misogynist or homophobe

There has been and continues to be a lack of leadership in Washington, D.C. Leaders should inspire not fearmonger. It's simple. Don't be a jerk, racist, misogynist or homophobe and work together to accomplish big things.

Jill Stein: Ensure rights and freedoms for all marginalized groups

Americans cherish ideals of liberty and justice, yet countless millions are still fighting for basic rights. We must put an end to the shameful legacy of systemic discrimination against women, Black and Brown people, Indigenous people, immigrants, people with disabilities, the LGBTQIA+ community, and other marginalized groups, and come together to ensure our rights, freedoms, and justice for all.

Kamala Harris: Will fight to pass the Equality Act for LGBTQI+ Americans

As President, she'll always defend the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride. In 2004, she officiated some of the nation's first same-sex marriages and as Attorney General, she refused to defend California's anti-marriage equality statewide referendum. As President, she'll fight to pass the Equality Act to enshrine anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQI+ Americans in health care, housing, education, and more into law.
