    10 years ago today, I lost my dad. He taught me so much + showed me how to be brave. He never got to see me graduate college, organize communities, or run for Congress. I carry him with me every day. I hope he’d be proud of the person I’m growing into. Love you pa. Miss you.

    This headline would have been politically unthinkable just a few years ago. Grassroots organizing + kitchen table conversations have changed the tide on Medicare for All. This is the power of movements: supporting change and advancing tenets of a modern + moral society.

    All work can and should have dignity. The way we make sure ALL work is dignified is by ensuring all people can meet their needs working 40 hours a week. That means a living wage, Medicare for All, tuition-free college + trade school, and exploring a federal jobs guarantee.
