priorities
arts & culture
A lifelong lover of architecture and music (and a pianist), Congresswoman Lee is involved in the promotion of the arts and arts education for all school-aged children. She recognizes that exposure to arts and culture enriches the lives of our youth, and gives them a productive outlet in which to express themselves.
civil rights
Attacks on the most vulnerable in our society undermine the sacrifices made in the struggles for freedom and independence that have become hallmarks of the American identity. Congresswoman Barbara Lee is a longtime champion for our most marginalized, including women, immigrants, veterans, youth, those living with HIV/AIDS and members of the LGBT community. In addition, she has been a vocal advocate for a transparent and accountable government that respects the privacy and First Amendment rights of its citizens.
economy
We need to take the necessary steps to steer our economy and get it back on track. Targeted economic stimulation can provide a roadmap for economic revitalization in the United States. Congresswoman Lee believes that we must craft policies that will help our most disadvantaged neighbors.
health care
In addition to supporting the Affordable Care Act, Barbara Lee continues to champion a host of other health-related initiatives like education and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), preserving a woman's rights to choose and strengthening global health systems. The Congresswoman has pushed for a greater focus on prevention, screening and treatment of STDs as well as an effort to prevent the spread of STDs and HIV in prisons.
