    Sandra Bland should be alive today. The job of this police officer should have been to protect and serve — not harass and threaten. We have a broken criminal justice system that we will address when we are in the White House.

    This proposal is extreme, unconstitutional, and part of a coordinated attack on women’s rights. We are going to fight this brazenly unconstitutional bill with everything we’ve got.

    Fracking is a danger to our water supply. It’s a danger to the air we breathe. It causes earthquakes. It’s highly explosive. And it’s contributing to climate change. We need to ban it nationwide.

    The “Partnership for America’s Health Care Future" is running large ad campaigns against Medicare for All. So who do they represent? The insurance companies and drug companies. If we are going to win the fight for Medicare for All, I need your help.

    This campaign is asking for your help to win the primary and defeat Trump, but it is also asking for something more. I will need your help the day after the inauguration to take on the powerful interests in Washington. I will need you in the fight for justice in America.

    Thousands of family farmers are forced off their land every year as large agri-business corporations take over. As president, I will impose an immediate moratorium on agri-business mergers, and I will nominate an Attorney General who will aggressively breakup these monopolies.

    I grew up in a family that struggled financially, but I was able to attend an excellent public college which at that time was virtually tuition-free. We are going to once again make higher education a right for all, not a privilege for the few.

    It is a disgrace that 400,000 people are in jail for the crime of being poor. I applaud Larry Krasner and city councilors for working to eliminate the cash bail system in Philadelphia. When we are in the White House, we will end cash bail nationally.
