A name for optimism
We filed with the FEC to build something new. Every policy in our platform is already working somewhere in the developed world. It's not radical — it's overdue. The name Lilac stands for hope, and the belief that solutions already exist if we're willing to reach for them.

What we stand for
Economic Justice
Progressive taxation, closed loopholes, strong labor protections, fair pay, and a job guarantee through community infrastructure.
Human Rights
Trans rights are human rights. No discrimination based on identity. Full equality and acceptance for LGBTQ+ communities.
Prison Reform
Rehabilitation over punishment. Norway cut recidivism from 60% to 20%. A better model exists.
Environmental Action
Practical, optimistic climate solutions from Project Drawdown and proven strategies worldwide.
60+ policies. Here are three.
-
Universal Healthcare for All Americans
Comprehensive, portable coverage for every American. No premiums, no copays, no surprise bills. One national system that preserves provider choice and ends medical bankruptcy.
Healthcare -
Green New Deal and Climate Mobilization
Clean energy transition with high-wage union jobs and resilient communities. Net-zero power nationwide, retrofitted buildings, and millions of jobs in the clean economy.
Climate -
Universal Basic Income Pilot
Large-scale guaranteed income pilots across diverse regions. Unconditional monthly cash payments to measure what economic security unlocks in health, stability, and opportunity.

Every policy grounded in evidence from nations that already got it right. The full platform and searchable library are part of the public buildout.
This is a party, not a spectator sport
We're building The Lilac Party from scratch. If you want to help shape it, we want to hear from you.
We document what others ignore
Accountability is not optional. We maintain a public, sourced archive of rights violations and attacks on democratic institutions under the current administration.
