That’s not a slogan. It’s the baseline.

And it’s why I’m running for Congress as an Independent: because both parties have failed working people, and I’m not interested in protecting the system that keeps failing us. I’m interested in building what comes next.

Here’s what “dignity” looks like in policy — clearly, specifically, and without the usual Washington doublespeak.

End the cruelty: Abolish ICE and replace it with a humane naturalization system

We have millions of undocumented people who live here, work here, raise families here, pay taxes, and keep entire industries running — while politicians use them as props and punching bags.

So let’s stop pretending the answer is more raids, more cages, more fear.

Abolish ICE and replace it with a new naturalization agency that processes 12 million undocumented immigrants into legal residency within two years, staffed by 10,000 new administrative judges.

That’s what “order” actually means: a functional system, humane outcomes, and no one forced to live in the shadows.

Healthcare for all — guaranteed, because you’re human

Health care in America is a sick joke: you pay more, get less, and still risk bankruptcy.

So let’s stop treating survival like a luxury product.

I’m fighting for taxpayer-funded, comprehensive Health Care for All, free at point of care — and an end to private insurance middlemen and medical bankruptcies. Care is guaranteed because you’re human.

Fix the rigged economy: end wealth hoarding and tax the ultra-rich like the rest of us

The affordability crisis and the wealth-hoarding crisis are the same crisis. When the ultra-rich get loopholes and shelters, working people get the bill.

So here’s the principle: tax wealth the same way wages are taxed — no exceptions, no special lanes, no tricks.

That means treating income from wages, rent, inheritance, and capital gains the same — and eliminating the loopholes and “tax expenditures” that turn the IRS into concierge service for the wealthy.

Because wealth hoarding isn’t a strategy that helps the working class.

It’s theft — and it’s time we take that wealth back and invest it in the people who actually build this country.

If you believe working people deserve more than survival, join us

If this message speaks to you, do three things:

* Watch and share the video (it’s linked/embedded above).

* Subscribe here so you don’t miss updates and campaign plans.

* Reply with the issue you want me to lead with first in CA-34: immigration, healthcare, housing, or taxes.

We can build a system that serves us — but only if we decide we’re done settling for scraps.

Both Parties Failed Working People — It’s Time We Took the Power Back

I’m Loren Collin.

I’m running for Congress in California’s 34th District in Los Angeles because both parties have failed working people — and it’s time we took the power back.

I’m not running to “fix” the system. The current system wasn’t made for us.I’m running to help build one that is.

A system where your taxes don’t disappear into billionaire tax breaks — but come back as healthcare, housing, and great schools.

A system where our immigrant neighbors aren’t hunted by ICE while Democrats and Republicans keep voting to expand it — but are finally given what they’ve earned: a path to citizenship that is dignified, humane, and based on our shared ideals.

A system where healthcare isn’t a privilege you pray you can afford — but a guarantee because you’re human. Period.

Because what we have now isn’t freedom.

For too many working people in our district, life is lived in fear and lived in debt. It’s the denial of the American dream we were all promised.

But we in California’s 34th deserve more than survival.

We deserve more than the scraps of the elites running the show. We deserve dignity in our work, stability in our lives, and power over our future.

And we deserve a leader who will stand with constituents on the most important issues — and not falter to party and corporate interests year after year.

Let me say this clearly: the ideas I’m fighting for aren’t radical.What’s radical is letting working people suffer while Washington insiders look the other way.

I want every person in this district — every worker, business owner, immigrant, renter, mother, vendor, student, and grandparent — to have healthcare, housing, safety, and the dignity they’ve earned as a human being.

Here’s what that looks like:

End the cruelty. Build a humane system.

That means abolishing ICE and replacing it with a new naturalization agency that processes all 12 million undocumented immigrants with legal residency within two years, staffed by 10,000 new administrative judges.

Guarantee healthcare — because you’re human.

Health care for all: taxpayer-funded, comprehensive, and free at point of care.Scrap private insurance and medical bankruptcies. Guarantee care because you’re human.

Take back the wealth being stolen from working people.

A new tax code where the first $100,000 you earn is taxed at 0%, and every dollar over $100,000 is taxed the same — whether it’s from wages, stocks, inheritance, or rent.

No loopholes. No shelters. No more free rides for the ultra-rich.

Because wealth hoarding isn’t a strategy that helps the working class.

It’s outright theft.

And it’s time to take that wealth back — and invest it in the people who actually build this country.

If you’re in CA-34 and you’re done being told to settle for less, I’m asking you to join this movement. Share this. Subscribe. Talk to your neighbors. And when the time comes — vote like your future depends on it.

America, talk to me, Loren Colin, and let us go beyond what you believe to better understand why you believe anything. I am not here to debate, there are plenty of places for speaking right past one another. Nor am I here to judge. Here on the We Unite We Win Podcast User Generated America series I will speak to anyone willing to give me an hour of their time to share their clearly stated morals, ethics, religious beliefs (or lack of) and views on humanity that inform their personal approach to culture, politics and government.

The aim of the UGA Series is not to change anyone’s mind, I am doing this in the hopes that you, the listener, will join me in putting aside your assumptions and listen to the guest for an hour. If the conversation gets you to ask a question about yourself, about your own beliefs and why you believe anything, all the better!

Our guest is John Burg. John, a friend of our previous guest Lorine Ghabranious, has made service his lifelong calling. Along the way, John has found direction, purpose and fulfillment in meditation, reflection and faith. Listen as John shares with me where his beliefs come from and how his journey shapes who he is today. Let’s chat with John Burg.
