    I believe in the "radical" idea that young people should be excited about their future. That's why we are going to ensure college for all, cancel student debt, and pass a Green New Deal to guarantee a healthy and habitable planet. Join us live in Las Vega

    Landlords should not be able to simply raise rents to any level they want, any time they want.

    When I was mayor of Burlington, we were the first municipality in America to implement a community land trust. The concept is now successfully used throughout the country and the world. We'll invest $50 billion in land trust housing to enable 1 million households to own homes.

    Our campaign is about bringing people together. We have a president fueling a divisive climate that emboldens racists and xenophobes. Together, we are going to defeat Donald Trump and his bigotry.

    Wall Street got a multi-trillion dollar bailout with no strings attached, but the federal government did virtually nothing to help struggling Americans keep their homes. My administration will be looking out for working families, not the billionaires who control Wall Street.

    Unlike Trump, I did not grow up in a wealthy family. My family lived in a rent-controlled building—and that most minimal form of economic security was crucial for our family. All families should have that. We need a national rent control standard.

    No one should profit off the incarceration of other human beings. When I am president, we will ban for-profit prisons and detention centers nationwide. Congratulations to California on this important step in reforming our criminal justice system.

    You don't pull out your wallet when the fire department shows up to save your house. The same should be true of health care. That is why we need Medicare for All — which eliminates premiums, co-pays and deductibles.

    This is why corporate “choice” health plans are unacceptable, and why we must fight for . Choice plans are merely a “choice” of which corporation profits off our crisis. Healthcare is a right. It’s unconscionable that insurance companies choose who lives & dies.

    "I have Huntington's Disease. I'm in stage four. I can barely take care of myself. And I do not have the energy to fight these people." this is why we fight for Medicare for All. this is who we fight for.

    Canceling all student debt will not only help those with student loans. It will help all of us — by boosting our economy by $1 trillion over the next 10 years and creating up to 1.5 million new jobs every year.

    Jeff Bezos is worth over $110 billion. Amazon pays $0 in federal income taxes. Yet Bezos just cut health care for 2,000 part-time Whole Food workers. That is what unfettered greed looks like. We're going to make the wealthy pay their fair share and guarantee health care to all.

    One of the reasons I fight for Medicare for All is because I believe we all share a common humanity. If your family is in pain, so is mine. If your kids are hurting, that affects me as well. We are a better nation than one that simply leaves the poor, sick and unlucky to die.

    Some in Washington say I am too angry about our broken health care system. I hear stories like this every day in America. My question is: why aren't they angry about it?

    I simply don't believe in having a health care system where insurance and pharmaceutical corporations make billions in profits while thousands die because they can't afford care.
