https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/sites/default/files/nnu/documents/0525_Federal_LegFactSheet_MFA_MedicareForAll.pdf

2. B. Raising The Wage for the Many (Not The Few) Act - This will be an alternate version of of Raise The Wage Act 2025

  • Would raise the minimum wage to $19 by 2031 and raise the wages for working Americans making up to $200,000 dollars annually over six consecutive years giving 70 million working Americans a long-overdue a long overdue Cost-of-Living and productivity wage increase.

https://www.padilla.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/padilla-lieu-carbajal-announce-transformative-legislation-to-address-affordable-housing-and-homelessness-crises/

3. B. Green New Deal for Public Housing Act
https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/ocasio-cortez-sanders-ramirez-reintroduce-green-new-deal-public-housing-act  

  • The Green New Deal for Public Housing Act invests up to $234 billion over ten years to transition the entire public housing stock in the United States into zero-carbon, highly energy-efficient homes – dramatically improving living conditions for nearly 2 million people in public housing across the country. 

4. Child Care Availability and Affordability Act and the Child Care Workforce Act

https://www.britt.senate.gov/news/press-releases/u-s-senators-katie-britt-tim-kaine-representatives-mike-lawler-salud-carbajal-lead-bipartisan-bicameral-proposal-to-make-child-care-more-affordable/

  • This commonsense proposal is about more than just addressing our child care crisis – it is a direct investment in the hardworking families and local small businesses striving to achieve their American Dream across our nation. 

5. Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act 2025
https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/warren-jayapal-boyle-reintroduce-ultra-millionaire-tax-on-fortunes-over-50-million

6. College For All Act
https://www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/the-college-for-all-act-fact-sheet.pdf   

  • The College for All Act would move society from being one in which a college education is for those who can afford it to higher education as a public good, for those who seek it. 

7. Social Security Expansion Act
https://www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/Social-Security-Expansion-Act-one-pager-2025.pdf 

  • By requiring millionaires and billionaires to finally pay their fair share into the program, the Social Security Expansion Act would ensure the fund’s solvency to the end of the century. 

8. Women's Health Protection Act
https://www.baldwin.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/whpa_of_2023_one-pager.pdf 

  • The legislation includes federal protections against state restrictions that undermine Americans’ access to fundamental health care services and intrude upon personal decision-making. 

9. Workers Right to Unionize Act  
https://democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/imo/media/doc/protecting_the_right_to_organize_act_of_2025_fact_sheet.pdf

10. Justice & Safety For All Act
https://www.scott.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/imo/media/doc/JUSTICE%20Act%20Section%20by%20Section%20pdf.pdf  

  • Too many Americans have lost confidence in institutions created for the purpose of keeping our communities safe. To rebuild that lost faith, the JUSTICE Act focuses on police reform, accountability and transparency.

12. Immigration Reform & Border Protection Act
https://escobar.house.gov/uploadedfiles/the_dignity_act_of_2023_one_pager.pdf

  • This comprehensive, bipartisan bill addresses border security, border infrastructure, grants legal status to undocumented immigrants already living in the United States with the possibility of earning citizenship, establishes new pathways for asylum seekers, and creates new legal pathways for economic migrants and unaccompanied minors.
