The United States should:

Create a National Commission on Reparations, to assess claims from descendants of those affected by discriminatory government policies, including slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, Native American treaty violations, and segregation in federal employment.

Establish a National Reparations Trust Fund (NRTF), funded by an infusion of $30 billion per year from government coffers. The NRTF would be managed in a way akin to a sovereign wealth fund or the Social Security Trust Fund. Each year, 20 percent of the fund would be paid out; 25 percent of this money would go toward programs to benefit historically black colleges and universities, Native American communities, and historical monuments honoring historically disadvantaged groups, and education in low-income communities hurt by policies like redlining or trends like white flight. The other 75 percent would be paid out directly to those on the list of disadvantaged groups. Thus if the NRTF had $280 billion one year, $56 billion would be paid out. $14 billion would go toward programs, and $42 billion would go toward direct payments. Assuming that 50 million were recipients, this would mean a payment of $840 per person. Compounded per year, this would mean tens of thousands of dollars over a person’s lifetime

Enact a vacancy tax that targets properties that go without residents for half of the year or more.

Overhaul all public housing legislation to ensure that we can and will build more, build higher quality, and build more equitably: eliminate the “equivalent elimination” provision of the Wagner-Steagall Act that only allows the construction of new public housing when an equivalent amount of housing is demolished, ensure that all future housing projects have considerable operations budgets rather than front-loading the capital budget, massively increase municipal, state, and federal capacities for creating public housing, etc. Ensure that public housing projects are not creating slums in themselves: public housing cannot be segregated into its own section of a city or town, but must rather be spread through it just like any other type of housing. Public housing segregation is still segregation, and cities must be more equitable, not less.

As mentioned in the Green New Deal section, remodel zoning laws to be green- and socially-conscious, lower or altogether remove parking minimums for buildings, and create cheap and plentiful public transport to make sure that cities across the country are more equitable and have more housing for everyone.

Outlaw all anti-homeless architecture, including but not limited to windowsill spikes, street spikes, slanted benches that make it impossible to sleep, and barred corners.

Ensure that access to housing for the homeless is not contingent on income, career, drug use, or any other metric: it has been proven time and time again that not only the most ethical but also the cheapest method of dealing with homelessness crisis is through giving housing first then offering services later, as the mental stability afforded by having a stable residence is more valuable than any kind of means-testing.

Ensure that multi-family public housing communities are run cooperatively and democratically, where people are in control of their own conditions. Enact additional legislation to incentivize privately-built or owned complexes to do the same.

Never limit pets, children, etc in public housing, as this only keeps the people who need it away from housing. Similarly, do not means-test: public housing should be for everyone, not only the fully impoverished. By opening affordable housing to all, we can decommodify housing and ensure everyone has a good place to live.

Enact rent control nationwide with a regulatory agency to ensure that rents cannot skyrocket and that tenants cannot be exploited. Massively increase and expand tenants’ rights.

Guarantee legal counsel in tenant-landlord court. Increase the ease of acquiring community land trusts that develop and steward affordable housing, community gardens, civic buildings, commercial spaces, and other community assets.

Enact stricter licensing requirements for landlords and stiffer penalties for failure to keep apartments in good condition.

Require corporations that either have more than 300 employees or that have a revenue of at least $5 million a year to be chartered at the national level.

Obligate all nationally-chartered corporations to consider the interests of all stakeholders, especially workers, and not just shareholders.

Require that half of all board members of nationally-chartered organizations be elected by employees lower than the 80th percentile in the company’s pay structure, in the vein of Germany’s “co-determination” system.

Establish a Corporate Harm Prosecution Agency (CHPA), which would have broad oversight to investigate, subpoena, and return a binding claim with its findings on the negative externalities that corporations produce (i.e., the $6.2 billion spent on welfare each year due to Walmart’s low pay). The CHPA would investigate a corporation for the negative externalities it produces, then return a verdict. The corporation and the CHPA would have one year to work out an agreement for how to amend the problem—for example, Walmart could reduce food stamp usage by its employees by 50 percent in a way approved by the CHPA. If the corporation fails to amend the negative externality, the CHPA would have the power to suspend all stock buybacks and dividends.

Institute a carbon tax and dividend scheme, as proposed by Matthew Bruenig, with an initial price of $230 per ton of CO₂ (The amount would be indexed to inflation and might be raised in the future). All funds from this tax would be redistributed to households, with poorer households receiving a larger proportion of the tax. Cooperate internationally to establishment of a single, harmonized international carbon trading market to replace the current regime of approximately 50 regional and national platforms that cover just 20 percent of man-made greenhouse gas emissions.

Promote decentralised, mobile technology options to bring climate action to a mass market. Distributed ledger technologies including blockchain can ‘democratise climate action’ by empowering individual citizens, consumers, utilities, businesses (for instance, airlines) and public bodies to participate in carbon sequestration, offsetting and trading through digital tokens that are officially backed by recognized and audited carbon credits.

Establish a Green Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), as proposed by Matthew Bruenig. The Tennessee Valley Authority Act would be amended to expand the TVA beyond its current operating area, with the aim of decarbonizing all energy production by a certain date. In addition to congressional funding, the TVA could finance its decarbonization efforts with green power bonds guaranteed by the federal government.

Ensure a “just transition” economic guarantee for all communities negatively impacted by the pivot from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy.

Institute a national Renewable Portfolio Standard, requiring all utility companies to receive a certain percentage of their energy from renewable sources each year. In the first year, this amount could be set at 15 or 20 percent; within twenty years, it would reach 100 percent.

End subsidies and special tax breaks to fossil fuel companies while enacting just as aggressive or even more aggressive subsidies for renewable energy production: we cannot give special treatment to pollutants that threaten our planet.

Introduce a 50% levy on all bank loans to the fossil fuel industry. Eliminate all single-use plastics to keep our oceans and landfills from choking with non-biodegradable matter, and our fossil fuels in the ground. Combine this with a push to eliminate all single-use packaging altogether by ensuring that it is 100 percent re-usable, recyclable or compostable.

Institute new local, state, and national transportation projects, focusing on electric vehicles and ease of transport. High-speed electric rail, electric buses, subways, and other projects can not only help the country reach net carbon-neutrality, but can also help address inequality: our entire country relies on expensive, polluting cars that many people cannot afford, and having cheap and reliable public transit can aid transportation to jobs and communities at low to no cost to our citizens.

Lower or altogether remove parking minimums for buildings, ensuring that we have more space for people rather than more space for cars.

Help rebuild our cities: use green and socially-conscious planning new zoning laws while abolishing old ones to ensure that cities are not class or race-segregated, have cheap and affordable public transit, have sustainable and green buildings, and feature public housing areas that ensure low-cost housing for all.

Modernise levees and related physical infrastructure to be climate- and disaster-resilient.

Lower or eliminate industrial animal agriculture subsidies while using these funds to subsidize independent, local meat and animal product replacements, whether in the form of simple vegetables, synthesized meat replacements like Beyond Beef, imitation meat, etc.

Create a national challenge account to promote citizen-based science, technology and innovation. incl. but not limited to clean renewables.

Combine this with an enabling environment for science, technology and innovation, such as in the application of distributed ledger technologies to promote social, economic, cultural, civil and political inclusion.

Work with the United Nations to create a tribunal for climate crimes.

And much much more!

If you tell that to any radlib or Chapo, "REEEEE It Unfairly Privileges Whitey and discriminates against minorities, small states have too much power".
