The campaign promises to support reparations for Black Americans, push for a single-payer healthcare system, end all U.S aid to Israel, forgive all student loan debt, fully recognize Native American sovereignty and honor treaty rights, cut the U.S. military budget by 90%, nationalize the 100 largest US corporations, expand access to public transportation, and use taxation to end billionaires.[3][4]
For the 2024 election, Democrats have been working to keep De la Cruz along with other third-party candidates such as Cornel West off of ballots,[5] while Republicans have tried to keep De la Cruz and West on ballots to take votes away from Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign.[5]
In June 2024, De la Cruz gave a speech at a pro-Palestine protest that was near the White House.[6]
