Welcome to the Headquarters for Arrowhead
High School JSA's Democratic Party!
Welcome to the page for all-things Democrat when it comes to JSA! The Democratic Party is one of the two major parties of the American Political system. It traces its roots back to the founding of the Democratic-Republicans, by Thomas Jefferson. The switch to the modern party we know it as came in the 1930's with the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in which the party platform switched its focus to welfare. The party philosophy of Modern Liberalism promotes ideals of economic and social equality. As of today, the party is made up of progressives, centrists, and even some Conservative Democrats. The Democratic Party believes in equal opportunity for all races, genders, religions, sexual orientations and more, as well as equal education opportunities for all, a woman's right to choose, accessible healthcare for all, and the regulation of unsafe firearms.

PARTY STANCES
October 6th:
As of August 3, 2021, the US has distributed 110 million Covid-19 vaccine doses throughout 65 different countries. President Biden has been quoted saying he would like to establish the US as the "world's arsenal of vaccines." ONE, a global campaign organized to end extreme poverty and preventable disease by 2030, is quoted with a tweet saying "it's imperative that wealthy nations continue sharing more doses with Africa, where less than 2% of the population is fully vaccinated." To put that in perspective, as of October 1st, 65% of the US population has received at least one of two doses, and 56% are fully vaccinated. Krishna Udayakumar, founding Director of the Duke Global Health Innovation Center, stated "'without US leadership, I don't see another plausible pathway where we're going to turn the corner on this pandemic any time in the next six, 12, or 18 months.'"
