Voting is the foundation of our democracy, and it is our first responsibility to protect the vote. Republican state legislators have pushed forward hundreds of bills to keep American citizens from voting. We can't just stand by and let them undermine free and fair elections.

Unions built America’s middle class, and unions will rebuild America’s middle class. But we have to #PassThePROAct to give the labor movement a fighting chance against corporate union-busting.

No matter how loudly Washington lobbyists bleat otherwise, progressive tax policies are wildly popular. Americans understand that our tax system has been rigged to reward the rich and powerful at the expense of everyone else. So let’s fix it.

Are you sitting down? Because I’m about to say something that can be pretty shocking, at least in Washington: I believe in science. So I know that climate change is real. And we have to fight this crisis with everything we’ve got.

When giant corporations gobble up their competitors, it means worse options for consumers, less power for working people, and an economy that is even more tilted towards the rich and powerful. It’s time to break up big corporate monopolies and level the playing field.

Preserving our democracy means protecting the right to vote—and also tackling corruption in Washington, so the rich and powerful don’t get an extra say in the decisions we need to make as a nation.

When people got their relief checks from the American Rescue Plan, they got to feel like government was looking out for them. Imagine how tens of millions of Americans would feel after we cancel $50,000 in student loan debt.

I came about an inch from having to quit my first big law teaching job because I had so much trouble finding good child care. My Aunt Bee saved me by moving in to help. But not everyone has an Aunt Bee—so we have to keep fighting for universal child care.

Members of Congress should not be allowed to trade individual stocks. Period. Put your money in conflict-free investments or pick a different line of work. That’s part of my plan to root out corruption in Washington.

When I was a kid, my mother got a minimum wage job that could support a family of three. But now, a minimum wage job wouldn’t keep a momma and her baby out of poverty. That is wrong, and that is why I’m in the #FightFor15.
