Ocasio-Cortez sees this plan as being a vehicle through which social equality might finally be realized through the use of [[reparations]] to right historical injustices. The final Green New Deal will
{{quotebox-float|"mitigate deeply entrenched racial, regional and gender-based inequalities in income and wealth (including, without limitation, ensuring that federal and other investment will be equitably distributed to historically impoverished, low income, deindustrialized or other marginalized communities in such a way that builds wealth and ownership at the community level)."}}
The plan includes universal income and Medicare for All: The plan, it says, shall
{{quotebox-float|"include additional measures such as [[basic income]] programs, universal health care programs and any others as the select committee may deem appropriate to promote economic security, labor market flexibility and entrepreneurism."}}
The plan also imagines creating governmental support for "transitioning" minority communities. The deal shall:
{{quotebox|"ensure a 'just transition' for all workers, low-income communities, communities of color, indigenous communities, rural and urban communities and the front-line communities most affected by climate change, pollution and other environmental harm including by ensuring that local implementation of the transition is led from the community level."}}
