  1. I stand with the UAW Local 2069 workers in Dublin, Virginia striking for a living wage and job security. Volvo should sit down with its workers and negotiate a fair contract now.

  2. I stand in solidarity with graduate workers at NYU who are on strike for living wages, affordable health care, and decent working conditions. We are fighting for college for all and dignity for the workers who make our universities great.

    No, I do not stay up at night worrying about the 1% and the billionaire class. It is time for the wealthy and large corporations to start paying their fair share of taxes so we can rebuild this country.

    A $15 minimum wage is supported by: 89% of African Americans 87% of Democrats 76% of Latino Americans 73% of Asian Americans 62% of all Americans It's time for Congress to stop listening to greedy CEOs and start listening to workers who are tired of making starvation wages

    This is the richest country in the history of the world — aging in America should not mean having to choose between paying for a hearing aid and paying for basic necessities like food. We must expand Medicare to include hearing aids, eyeglasses, and dental care.

    If we can afford billions of dollars in corporate welfare to corporations who are destroying the planet, then yes, we can afford to transform our energy systems, rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, and create millions of good-paying union jobs.

    This is a pivotal moment. Now is the time to stand up to the greed of the fossil fuel industry, and make sure our kids and grandkids have a healthy world to live in.

    Weeks of paid maternity leave offered to workers: 🇬🇧: 39 🇮🇪: 26 🇦🇺: 18 🇩🇰: 18 🇫🇮: 17.5 🇨🇦: 17 🇫🇷: 16 🇨🇭: 14 🇮🇸: 13 🇺🇸: ZERO We must end the international embarrassment of being the only major country on the planet not to guarantee a single day of paid maternity leave.

    What would tuition-free, debt-free higher education mean for you and your family?

    The U.S. already spends more on the military than the next 12 nations combined. Instead of increasing the bloated Pentagon budget, we must invest invest in jobs, education, housing and health care.

    I happen to believe that getting an education should not leave you in crippling debt for decades.

    I'm proud to endorse Teri Castillo for San Antonio City Council and Luke Amphlett for San Antonio School Board Trustee. They understand that now is the time to think big and put working people ahead of the wealthy and powerful.

    We must ask ourselves, what does it mean to age with dignity? If you're unable to hear your partner's voice, or unable to see the world around you, or made to live with severe dental pain — is that dignity? Let's expand Medicare to cover hearing aids, dental care, and eyeglasses.

    A great country is judged by how it treats the vulnerable. We must expand Medicare to cover eyeglasses, dental care and hearing aids.

    For most of history, this country led the world in infrastructure. From the railroad to the interstate highway system to the rural electrification program. We grew the economy. We gave workers a decent standard of living. We must invest in our nation's infrastructure once more.

    I stand with the hospital workers in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania who are demanding safe staffing levels and patient care conditions. Community Health Systems should sit down with its workers and negotiate a fair contract.

    More than half of older Americans say they've avoided going to the dentist because of the cost, while 1 in 5 Americans over the age of 65 have untreated cavities, and 2 in 3 have gum disease. This is not a reality I believe we should accept in the richest country on the planet.
