    “Your policy is the only policy that I have seen in my lifetime that matches up with the policy of what was the Poor People’s Campaign.” With 's help, we're going to complete the political revolution.
  • Billionaires and large corporations oppose us because they know they can't buy us. We don't want their money. Our campaign has received 2.5 million contributions from people around the country. That is what a movement to defeat Trump and transform America looks like.
  • Georgia and South Carolina, please be safe. If you are in Hurricane Dorian's projected path, visit for information on how to prepare.
  • The issue of hatred and prejudice is personal for me. All of us must speak out forcefully whenever we see prejudice and discrimination. Live from :

    Bernie Sanders at ISNA conference just said "India's action [in Kashmir] is unacceptable," criticizing its crackdown in Kashmir, revoking its semi autonomous status and the humanitarian crisis that has ensued. Glad a Democratic candidate is discussing this openly.
  • We must speak out when we have a president and an administration who believe that “Islam hates us.” We must speak out at hate crimes and violence targeted at the Muslim community - and call it what it is - domestic terrorism.

  • Working people are angry and they have a right to be angry. Their government and economy are rigged against them so the phenomenally wealthy can get even wealthier. I think it's about time we had a government that works for the working class.
  • I'm a boxing fan, but that's not the only reason why Muhammad Ali is a hero of mine. It was also the incredible courage he showed outside the ring.
  • We must speak out when we have a president and an administration who believe that “Islam hates us." Thank you to our grassroots donors from the Muslim community. Together, we will end the discrimination, end the divisiveness and we will bring our nation t

  • Secretary DeVos, your job is to defend our students, not sell them out to predatory for-profit colleges. My Secretary of Education will stand with students and families to cancel all student debt and make all public colleges tuition-free.
  • Looking forward to joining my friends at and for their forum at - the largest gathering of Muslim Americans in North America - today in Houston. Watch the livestream here:

    NEWS: The Bernie 2020 campaign has just sent a detailed letter to editor demanding a retraction of the inaccurate "fact check" article about & medical bankruptcy. We await Mr. Baron's response. Read the letter:
  • Our lives, our existence, should be about more than just the accumulation of more and more wealth.
  • Betsy DeVos and for-profit charter schools are breaking our promise to students with disabilities. That will end when we are in the White House.
  • It is nothing less than barbaric that the leading cause of bankruptcy in America is medical debt. These people didn't spend all their money on luxury items. Their crime was that they got sick. We are going to cancel all $81 billion in existing past-due medical debt.

    Medicare for All is about more benefits, less costs, coverage for everyone, and more jobs. It’s that simple!
  • I don’t know how many times I have to say it, but I’ll keep saying it until it happens: 1) All people must have a right to health care 2) Insurance companies shouldn't be able to make huge profits off of people's suffering
  • Not in America. When we are in the White House we will ban the use of facial recognition technology for policing.
  • The people of this country are ready for a political revolution.

    We are excited to host & at Convention. Standing with Muslim Americans at this particular moment in history is essential to protecting American values.
  • Massive corporations like Smithfield Foods and Tyson drive family farmers off their land, abuse animals and destroy the environment. It is time to break up these agribusiness monopolies.
  • Our corporate-run health care system is bankrupting working families. The American people want the savings and stability that only Medicare for All will deliver. Join me now in South Carolina:

    This woman’s leadership and bravery on behalf of all Americans deserves credit and support and I appreciate “The OG” (Ole Guy) and all that do! We love and value u Nina. Thank u for all u do for this campaign, your community and the greater community as well.
  • I wonder how quickly Congress would pass a minimum wage increase if they were forced to live on $7.25 an hour.

    With ⁦⁩ campaigning in South Carolina. We’re having BBQ at Scott’s & later doing a Medicare for All town hall. Bernie has got a great sense of humor on the trail. One lady told him that her 3 kids were for him. He shot back, what about the Mom! I need her too!
  • Republican politicians who refuse to even recognize the reality of climate change will go down as one of the greatest embarrassments in our country's history.
  • At least 500,000 Americans go bankrupt every year because of medical expenses—and the actual number is probably more like 750,000. No one in America should go bankrupt to get the care they need. It's time for Medicare for All.
  • The United States is one of two countries that allows a for-profit bail industry to exist. We need to end that embarrassment and abolish cash bail nationwide.
  • That's true. But if we continue to allow fracking and fossil fuel exports, the planet will never recover. We don't have time for a middle ground approach. We need a Green New Deal.
  • If the environment were a bank it would have been saved already.
