    Change comes when the people demand it — in the voting booth, in the workplace, and on the streets in peaceful demonstrations. We must remind ourselves of what’s been achieved in the past, and resolve to do equally great things in the future.

    It is my belief that the younger generation is in many ways the most progressive generation in the history of our country. Please continue to convert your idealism and generosity of spirit into political activity.

    If Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed, Roe v. Wade could be overturned in less than a year. Nothing is more important now than doing everything in our power to stop this nomination.

    Bernie moved us think big, to imagine a system of government that works for everyone rather than one that’s rigged for the few. That’s exactly what we’re trying to create here in Rhode Island, and I am so grateful to have support and endorsement in our campaign!

    I am proud to endorse for Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island. Aaron has shown himself to be a real fighter for Rhode Islanders during his time in the legislature and, in my view, would make an excellent Lieutenant Governor.

    Aaron has worked hard to raise wages, combat climate change, and make voting more accessible. He championed guaranteed sick leave and supports a Medicare-for-all health care system. I hope you will join me in supporting for Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island.

    Climate change is a clear and present danger to all Americans and ignoring it is not an option. We must take on the fossil fuel billionaires, accelerate our transition to clean energy, and finally put people before the profits of polluters.

    We must end sub-minimum wages and implement one fair wage, so that all minimum wage workers earn the same amount.

    Congratulations to Disney workers and their unions. This is an important step forward in making sure that all American workers earn a living wage.

    We need to remember the price that was paid for the right to vote. The Voting Rights Act was one of the great victories of the civil rights movement. The time to stand up and fight Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination is now.

    We cannot allow ourselves to be divided by this anti-immigrant and xenophobic hysteria. This plan must be defeated and the criminalization of immigrants and people of color in this country must end.

    If Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court, it could be the most extreme court on civil rights issues since the days of Jim Crow. We must stand together and defeat Kavanaugh’s nomination.

    More than 4,500 low-income Arkansans lost their health insurance over the weekend as the first-in-the-nation Medicaid work requirements took effect. This type of austerity does nothing but punish the poor and often has deadly impacts.

    Brett Kavanaugh doesn't believe that Roe v. Wade is settled law and he would be the final vote to overturn it. It is urgent that we stand up for the rights of women and abortion access. We must do everything we can to defeat Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.

    Donald Trump stated repeatedly during the campaign that any Supreme Court nominee of his would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. I have no doubt that is exactly what Brett Kavanaugh will do if confirmed.

    Brett Kavanaugh disputed whether Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that widely legalized abortion across the US, was “settled law of the land” in 2003 when he was serving in the Bush White House, according to an email obtained by CNN

    It is vital that those of us who care about the environment and human health, about fighting climate change, and about leaving a planet that is livable for our children and grandchildren come together to do everything we can to defeat Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.

    President Trump’s "dumb Southerner" comment is elitist, despicable, divisive and contemptuous. We cannot allow this administration to divide us up. We must stand together and build an America that works for all of us, not just the few.

    The Walton family of Walmart owns more wealth than the bottom 40% of Americans. Walmart, just like Amazon, pays its workers’ wages that are so inadequate that many of them are forced to depend upon public assistance programs in order to survive.

    It is not only Mr. Bezos who should be concerned that the days of corporations receiving huge subsidies while paying workers poverty wages are coming to an end. The Walton family of Walmart should be concerned too.
