HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCES
A livable planet and a free world go hand in hand.
Authoritarian regimes thrive on censorship, corruption, and environmental destruction — while democracies build cleaner, fairer futures.
Protecting the planet means standing shoulder to shoulder with nations that protect people — and ensuring that human rights are part of every treaty, trade deal, and partnership we sign.
THE PROBLEM
Authoritarian governments exploit natural resources with no regard for human rights, labor, or the environment.
Corruption and corporate greed undermine international climate and human rights agreements.
Alliances have weakened as disinformation and political division spread through democracies worldwide.
Global development often prioritizes profit over people, fueling instability and mass migration.
The U.S. has at times undermined its own credibility by supporting oppressive regimes in the name of short-term gain.
Democracy isn’t just a political system — it’s the world’s best defense against exploitation and extinction.
OUR PLAN - A FOREIGN POLICY OF FREEDOM AND FAIRNESS
We’ll put human rights and democracy back at the heart of American leadership — where they belong:
Democracy & Climate Partnership Act — Link foreign aid and trade benefits to measurable progress in human rights, environmental protection, and anti-corruption reforms.
Clean Energy Diplomacy Initiative — Help allies build renewable infrastructure and energy independence free from authoritarian influence.
Anti-Corruption Sanctions Expansion — Enforce global Magnitsky-style sanctions on corporations and officials who profit from environmental or human rights abuses.
Global Democracy Fund — Support journalists, civil society groups, and local activists fighting disinformation and defending democratic values.
Trade with Values — Reward nations that meet human-rights and labor standards, not those that exploit cheap labor or banned speech.
Refugee & Climate Migration Policy — Provide humane pathways for people displaced by war, persecution, and environmental collapse.
Human Rights in Tech & AI — Promote digital freedom and privacy worldwide, ensuring new technologies strengthen democracy, not control.
Rebuild Trust with Allies — Restore America’s reliability as a partner that keeps promises and leads by example.
WHY IT MATTERS
The fight for democracy and the fight for the planet are the same struggle — against greed, oppression, and apathy.
When we lead with values, the world follows with hope. America’s strength isn’t in domination — it’s in inspiration.
“A free world is a sustainable world — democracy and the planet rise together.”
