    This is irresponsible. Pretending coronavirus cases don’t exist won’t make this crisis go away—it will only expose more people to harm. My message to Trump: it’s time to start taking this crisis seriously.

    We must support the Dem nominee no matter who it is. Sharing a message otherwise widely on TV needs to be corrected. (Some folks are taking issue with the word choice of “camp” - I apologize if the term is unclear. This is a campaign outreach lead & convention delegate.)

    I am constantly asked if I‘d support the Dem nominee. Could you imagine if I said I wouldn’t? Yet Biden’s camp is on TV threatening to help Trump if they don’t get exactly what they want. This is profoundly irresponsible on all ends. Our country is not a game. Get it together.

    After weeks of Bernie Sanders supporters being hit over the head with questions of voting blue no matter who, a delegate tells that she *will not* vote for the nominee if it is Bernie Sanders.

    For everyone who prioritizes “consumer choice” over a single payer healthcare system, understand that when you force people’s access to healthcare to be tied to their employment, you actually take away their freedom and increase the precariousness of their lives ⬇️

    . is also much, much stronger with independent voters who we will need in November. He is a stronger candidate than Biden against Trump. I’m not just saying that because we align on progressive policy. I’m saying it because I believe it is true.

    Bernie’s strong record on trade, his exemplary performance with Latino voters, and his overwhelming support among folks making <$40k make him a stronger electoral college candidate. He can put key Southwest states in play and is stronger in the industrial Midwest against Trump.

    It is admittedly hard to see those who care about civility + toxicity (which I understand) sit in silence about the disturbing antisemitism emerging around Sen. Sanders. A pundit also compared him to a disease on national TV. It’s disturbing. If you care, please care everywhere.

    Sanders said he's seen plenty of protesters at his events — many of them Trump supporters — "but this was something different," he told reporters in Phoenix today, describing the swastika as "unspeakable" & the "most detestable symbol in modern history."

    We have 8.7 million contributions from nearly 2 million people. We don't host fancy fundraisers or have a super PAC. This campaign is funded differently because we're on the side of working people.

    Today is a hard day for so many people who love and respect and admire her campaign - and I include myself in that. Elizabeth Warren is a progressive lion, a champion for working families, and her commitment to inclusivity is exemplary. Thank you for being a role model.

    Our work continues, the fight goes on, and big dreams never die. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

    If you believe in: healthcare as a right, a living wage, that working class & marginalized people deserve power, that climate action should be on the scale of the crisis, that racial justice is key in all this & more, Then we are on the same team. Let’s accomplish it together.

    It is important to fight for the issues, advance your argument, and grow the cause. To do so, the questions that organizers or anyone seeking to advance a cause or campaign should always ask themselves are: who else can we include, and how can we listen and include them?

    Effective organizers are welcomers, natural educators, and positive in their interactions. They make new people feel like theirs is a movement they want to be part of. Effective organizers treat the internet as an organizing space (although not the *only* organizing space!).
