Our Values

At the heart of our organization lies a commitment to the core ideals that represent the desires and aspirations of the people. We believe that true democracy flourishes when every voice is heard, ensuring that our collective goals and values guide our actions. This is not a "one-man show"; rather, it is a collaborative effort rooted in inclusivity and shared decision-making. By embracing diverse perspectives and fostering open dialogue, we strive to create an organization that genuinely reflects the hopes and needs of the community we serve. Together, we can forge a path toward a brighter, more equitable future.

A Future Powered By People

Radical Bloom advocates for decentralizing power from the federal government to empower local communities in making decisions on key areas like education and healthcare. To ensure representation and accountability, we propose compulsory and ranked-choice voting, including a "No Candidate" option, alongside five-year term limits with recall votes for elected officials. We also emphasize government transparency through accessible public records to foster trust and accountability. Ultimately, Radical Bloom aims to create a more responsive and locally-driven governance system.

A Limited Federal Government

We prioritize local governance, but recognize the necessity of a strong federal government to combat corruption through strict laws and transparency measures. Radical Bloom advocates for a foreign policy centered on global cooperation, human rights, peace, and environmental sustainability, opposing imperialistic actions and prioritizing humanitarian aid over foreign intervention. In terms of national defense, Radical Bloom supports a defensive military focused on protecting citizens and emphasizes diplomacy and peacebuilding, with all military actions subject to public oversight to ensure transparency and responsible resource allocation.

Investing in a Better Future For All

At Radical Bloom, we believe education is fundamental to a just society. We are committed to providing free education for all, from primary school through university, while also elevating the importance of vocational training and lifelong learning pathways. Financial constraints should never limit opportunity, and we envision an America where everyone can pursue their aspirations. Our education system will guarantee equitable access to high-quality learning, empowering local communities to shape their educational priorities and ensuring all schools receive fair funding. To foster continuous growth, we will champion and incentivize lifelong learning through diverse partnerships and affordable, accessible programs. Furthermore, Radical Bloom will advocate for free or affordable childcare and comprehensive paid family leave, ensuring that working families have the support they need.

A Fairer, More Sustainable Economy

Radical Bloom champions a solidarity economy, prioritizing fair wealth redistribution, worker empowerment, and thriving local economies over corporate profit. We will enact progressive taxation and wealth-sharing to ensure the ultra-wealthy contribute to the public good, supporting cooperatives and ethical businesses to foster equitable resource distribution. Implementing a Universal Basic Income (UBI) will guarantee a minimum standard of living for all, emphasizing cooperation and economic justice. We aim to foster a business environment that prioritizes community well-being over maximizing shareholder profits, reinvesting profits locally to support affordable housing, healthcare, education, and community development. To ensure affordable housing, Radical Bloom will support Community Land Trusts, implement a vacancy tax on unoccupied homes, and repurpose abandoned spaces into affordable living options.

Healthcare is a Right, Not a Privilege

Radical Bloom firmly believes that healthcare is a basic human right. We are committed to establishing a universal healthcare system that guarantees access to high-quality medical care for everyone, irrespective of their income or where they live. Our plan involves implementing a single-payer system to eliminate cost barriers, remove profit-driven motives from healthcare, and streamline administration, ensuring comprehensive medical services for all. As part of this, we will negotiate bulk drug prices and push for price caps to make medications affordable. We will also integrate mental health support into primary care and emphasize preventative care through education, screenings, and healthy lifestyle promotion. Furthermore, Radical Bloom will launch nationwide public health campaigns focused on prevention and raise taxes on harmful substances to discourage unhealthy habits.

Transition to a Sustainable Future

Climate change is an urgent crisis demanding immediate and decisive action, and Radical Bloom is committed to leading the transition to a green economy where sustainability and climate justice are central to all policies. We will aggressively invest in renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal, ensuring a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels by providing job retraining, pension protection, and economic diversification for affected communities. To ensure everyone benefits, we will invest in affordable clean energy for all households and modernize the national energy grid. Recognizing that marginalized communities disproportionately suffer from environmental harm, Radical Bloom will prioritize environmental justice by enforcing stricter regulations on polluters, cleaning up toxic sites, and investing in clean air, water, and soil. We will fund community-led climate adaptation projects and explore reparative policies for historically impacted groups.

A Society of Inclusion and Respect

Radical Bloom recognizes the profound power of cultural diversity and is dedicated to building a society grounded in inclusion, respect, and equal opportunity. Through focused policies and community-driven efforts, we will celebrate the richness of diverse cultures while actively dismantling barriers to equity. We will ensure comprehensive cultural education in schools, mandating inclusive curricula and culturally responsive training for educators, alongside national and local celebrations of diverse heritages. Radical Bloom is committed to protecting the rights of Indigenous peoples, advocating for land rights, cultural preservation, and sovereignty, including the return of ancestral lands and support for language and cultural revitalization. We will strengthen anti-discrimination laws to safeguard all identities, with robust enforcement and independent review boards, while also funding initiatives that address intersecting forms of discrimination. Furthermore, we will empower marginalized communities by providing resources to community-led organizations and ensuring public spaces are accessible, welcoming, and representative, advocating for equitable representation in government to amplify diverse voices in policymaking.

Accountability in Justice

Radical Bloom is dedicated to transforming law enforcement into a system that truly serves and protects all communities with integrity, fairness, and a deep respect for human rights. We will revolutionize police education and training by emphasizing community engagement, non-violent conflict resolution, de-escalation techniques, cultural competency, and specialized responses to mental health crises. Prioritizing community-based policing, we will invest in community-led safety initiatives and dispatch teams of social workers and mental health professionals to non-violent situations, fostering dialogue through regular town halls. To ensure accountability and transparency, we will mandate body-worn cameras, establish civilian and expert review boards for misconduct complaints, and require public data sharing on police interactions. Finally, Radical Bloom envisions a restorative justice system focused on healing and reconciliation, utilizing community circles and mediation for non-violent crimes, reducing reliance on incarceration, eliminating minimum sentencing, and investing in reentry programs to support rehabilitation and reduce recidivism.

The Right to Bear Arms

At Radical Bloom, we uphold the 2nd Amendment while underscoring the critical need for accountability in gun ownership to ensure community safety. We advocate for responsible gun ownership through universal background checks, mandatory psychiatric evaluations, and comprehensive training to ensure individuals understand the responsibilities of firearm ownership. To prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands, we will require thorough mental health and criminal history screenings for all gun purchases. Furthermore, we will implement strict policies holding gun owners fully accountable for deaths or injuries resulting from negligent or reckless firearm use, emphasizing safe storage and handling with severe consequences for violations.

A Pragmatic Approach to Immigration

Radical Bloom believes the United States should remain a beacon of opportunity, supporting a fair and clear pathway to citizenship for those who positively contribute and respect American laws. We advocate for a merit-based immigration system that prioritizes individuals with skills and talents beneficial to our economy. While emphasizing secure borders, we also support streamlined legal entry processes to facilitate lawful immigration and reduce undocumented immigration. For undocumented immigrants already in the U.S., we propose a pathway to citizenship involving background checks, fines, and English proficiency, excluding those with violent criminal histories, to encourage integration and recognize their contributions.
