"We say to the military industrial complex that we are not going to spend $700 billion/yr... more than the next 10 nations combined. We are going to invest in affordable housing... in public education... in rebuilding our infrastructure...not never-ending wars." #BernieInChicago

"Together we will end voter suppression in this country and move to automatic voter registration. If you are a citizen and 18 years of age, you are registered to vote. End of discussion." @BernieSanders #BernieInChicago

"In the last decade, more than 30 states have considered voter suppression laws whose clear intent is to disenfranchise people of color. How pathetic and how cowardly is that!" @BernieSanders #BernieInChicago

"Whether it is the struggle against corporate greed, racism, sexism, homophobia, environmental devastation, or war and militarism. Real change never takes place from the top on down. It ALWAYS takes place from the bottom on up." @BernieSanders #BernieInChicago

"Over the last number of years, we have seen a terrible level of police violence against unarmed people in the minority community." Bernie then goes on to name Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, and more. #BlackLivesMatter #BernieInChicago

"Instead of spending $80 billion a year on jails & incarceration, we are going to invest in jobs & education. No more private prisons & detention centers. No more war on drugs. No more keeping people in jail because they are too poor to afford cash bail." #BernieInChicago

"Real police department reform led at the federal level, which says that lethal force is the LAST resort not the FIRST." @BernieSanders #BernieInChicago

"When we talk about criminal justice reform, we are going to change a system in which...not one major Wall St exec went to jail for destroying our economy in 2008. They didn't go to jail. They got a trillion dollar bail out." @BernieSanders #BernieInChicago
