NATIONALS
The Nationals Political Party

Our agenda & program.

Ten categories. One shared purpose. A thriving United States for everyone.

Solve problems.
Build a thriving nation.

United. We Stand! means people of every race, background, generation, and political affiliation working together.

Our agenda follows the ten categories of AfricanAmerican1000.com, connecting shared challenges with practical policy proposals, delivery partnerships, and measurable progress. No community thrives in isolation. Together, we can challenge a status quo of unequal access, fragmented services, and promises without follow-through.

One goal connects the program: a United States where everyone can live well, raise a family in safety and stability, and pursue happiness with dignity and opportunity.

Category framework: AfricanAmerican1000.com. The names and order match its current ten-category directory. The actions and programs below are the Nationals’ proposals.

These are policy proposals. The Nationals can organize partnerships, develop proposals, and report progress. Enacting laws and operating public programs require the relevant government authority, funding, and institutional participation.

The five Standards

Unity

Community connections, partnerships, and shared goals.

Power

Participation, representation, and access to civic resources.

Transformation

Institutional change, voting access, and equitable systems.

Innovation

Develop and create what is new and different. Improve what already exists and find new ways to add value and quality.

Prosperity

Economic opportunity, career development, and family well-being.

Innovation applies to every area. It means creating what is new and different, improving what exists, and adding value and quality. Technology is a separate policy area and one possible tool for innovation.

Ten categories. One agenda.

From proposal to delivery

United in purpose. Accountable in action.

Each major proposal must identify the problem, proposed action, responsible institution, funding, timing, and evidence of progress. Numerical targets should follow reliable baselines and realistic delivery plans.

First 100 days after adoption
  • Publish a workplan and responsible working group for each of the ten categories, with initial priorities and a clear decision-making process.
  • Establish baseline conditions before announcing numerical outcome targets.
  • Prepare proposals identifying authority, costs, funding options, and implementation requirements.
  • Invite qualified institutions to develop a manageable number of delivery partnerships.
  • Publish a calendar for public input and progress reviews.

These are organizational steps. Public programs and legal changes require the responsible institutions to act.

Prioritize work that can be delivered

Use all ten categories as a shared agenda, then select a manageable set of connected priorities for delivery. Choose work based on documented need, partner capacity, resources, and the ability to evaluate results. Include residents, qualified institutions, and people with different perspectives in defining the problems and reviewing the proposals.

Where areas overlap, identify one lead institution and the supporting partners. Education and Careers and Jobs should connect learning with employment. Health and Wellness and Legal Reform should coordinate appropriate care and reentry support.

Finance proposals honestly

Identify startup costs, ongoing costs, administrative capacity, and the proposed funding source. Distinguish existing authorized resources from new appropriations or revenue proposals. Publish tradeoffs and do not treat uncertain savings as guaranteed funding.

Report results and correct failures

Publish regular reports covering spending, implementation, outcomes, setbacks, and corrective actions. Protect personal information and seek independent evaluation where feasible. Participation counts and publicity alone do not establish success.

Assess whether conditions improved, whether the intervention contributed, and what should change next.

Different experiences. Shared responsibility.

All people have a place in this work. Respectful disagreement can improve a proposal; shared responsibility can turn it into progress. Across these ten categories, the test is whether everyday life improves for individuals, families, and communities.
