The following statement is reproduced from the campaign website of the candidate, who is responsible for its content.
Frank Lara, is an activist, public school teacher, Mission District resident and candidate of the Party for Socialism and Liberation and Peace and Freedom Party for the 12th Congressional District of San Francisco. Frank has been very active in the struggle for justice, including the Occupy, anti-war, anti-police brutality and housing rights movements. He is running against establishment leader Nancy Pelosi on a socialist platform that speaks for the rights of all workers.
Among the demands of the Lara for Congress Campaign are:
- End all evictions and foreclosures – Housing is a right!
- Free public transit
- Jobs for all
- Raise the national minimum wage to $15/hour
- Money for health care not warfare – health care is a right!
- Stop the attacks on women’s rights
- End environmental destruction
- Full rights for immigrants and ammesty for all
- An end to racist, anti-working class police brutality
- Full equality for LGBTQ people
- Free and quality education from pre-school to university
- End the wars and bring the troops home
- Tax the rich and make the banks pay
- End NSA spying. Stop prosecuting whistle-blowers!
- No to the TPP!
Unlike the two major corporate-backed parties, who run candidates that don’t represent the interest of the 99%, our candidate, Frank Lara, is a community organizer and activist involved in a wide range of issues. Being involved in the major social movements in the US, Frank has helped organize and lead marches and protests demanding the end to US wars to making the banks pay for the economic crisis.
