Recently sworn-in Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired-off a series of progressive policies and programs in New York City Friday; calling for the US to “pursue an agenda of reparations” in the coming months.
Ocasio-Cortez was speaking at the National Action Network’s annual conference alongside fellow Democrats and activists when she labeled the massive, new federal programs as “bold investments.”

“That is the moral political and economic underpinning of making bold investments and dignified jobs because that is the necessary plan to fix the pipes in Flint [Michigan] and clean the air in the South Bronx, and create unionized energy jobs for transitioning workers in Appalachia and West Virginia, for single-payer health care and Medicare-for-all and tuition-free public colleges and universities to prepare our nation for the future, and for the end of mass incarceration, the war on drugs, examining and pursuing an agenda of reparations and fixing the opioid crisis too,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
