Tackling poverty and cost of living pressures are among the top priorities for People Before Profit in its Assembly election manifesto.
The party said they offer a "radical alternative to the failed policies of the Stormont establishment".
The 36-page manifesto argues the five main parties which make up the power-sharing Executive have "failed to improve the lives of working people".

At a manifesto launch event on Thursday, People Before Profit said the devolved government has not protected families from "soaring prices and spiralling waiting lists".
Here is a look at some of the key messages and policies from the party's manifesto:
Cost of living
People Before Profit said radical measures were needed to tackle the issue of households facing the choice of whether to heat or eat.
It proposed a £1,000 payment to all households bar the top fifth of earners through an Emergency Hardship Fund. It said this could be funded by "imposing greater taxes on the wealthiest".
The party also wants to cut and freeze rents, raise housing benefits and increase the minimum wage to £15 an hour.
Private energy companies should be brought into public ownership and firms imposing extra charges on pre-paid meter users should be banned, it said.
Health
People Before Profit said that while Covid-19 has exacerbated problems in the health service, many issues such as spiralling waiting lists were a reality before the pandemic.
The party called for "overworked, underpaid" health workers to be given "inflation-busting" pay rises.
They oppose health service reforms proposed in the 2016 Bengoa Report, arguing the plans would result in the "closure of local hospitals" and pave the way for "breaking-up the NHS altogether".
The party called for an "all-Ireland NHS", saying the pandemic showed the "dysfunctionality of operating two different health systems on either side of the border".
Workers' rights
People Before Profit described itself as the "foremost party in championing workers’ rights", saying it wants to see "workers united to fight back against poor conditions and sectarian division".
The party said it wanted to "unpick the cornerstone attack" of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher by allowing trade unions to strike in solidarity with others.
Other policies include removing limitations on matters unions can negotiate with employers about, modernising the system of strike action ballots, and reducing the notice period for strike action.
The party also proposed a four-day working week and a ban on agency working and zero-hour contracts.
Other points
The party said state support for those living in poverty is "deplorably low". They proposed introducing an Anti-Poverty Act to enshrine in law a "commitment to end poverty in all its forms everywhere".
A living wage for carers and 30 hours of free childcare for working parents were also among the party's asks.
In education, the party said it backs the "free school meals for all" campaign. They also called for the introduction of a "free school day", in which pupils do not have to bring any money to school and expenses such as books, materials and trips are covered.
The party, which backs a border poll on Irish unity, said the debate on Brexit had "thrown a sharp light on the absurdity of partition".
But they said both the European Union and the UK have been "complicit in brutal austerity", adding: "That is why we say neither London nor Brussels – but instead the interests of the working class."
