Some Tweets from Elizabeth Warren

    How candidates fund their campaigns matters. Ours has been 100% grassroots-funded since the beginning. No PACs or closed-door meetings with millionaires or CEOs—just people like you chipping in what they can. Will you donate $3 and join the movement?
  • I'm heartsick for the victims of this latest mass shooting in Odessa and Midland. We shouldn't have to live with this near daily fear and horror. We've already lost far too many to gun violence—Congress must act now.
  • Uber and Lyft are prepared to spend millions so they can continue classifying their workers as "independent contractors" to exploit them and deny them protections. The California Senate must pass AB 5, and all Democrats should fight this ballot measure.
  • I will nominate a Secretary of Education who has been a public school teacher—Betsy DeVos need not apply.
  • I’m proud of the movement we’re building together. We can dream big, fight hard, and win in 2020—with a campaign that’s 100% grassroots-funded. Own a piece of our campaign and chip in whatever you can before midnight.
  • As Hurricane Dorian nears Florida, please be prepared and stay safe.
  • I’m not taking applications from billionaires to start a Super PAC for me. You won’t find me at a fancy fundraiser asking millionaires for big checks. Instead, people like you make this campaign possible. Will you chip in $3 before our August deadline?
  • Trump is lying about his calls with China because his trade war is failing, and he's scrambling. We need a real plan to fix our economy before there’s another downturn. I’ve got one.
  • I'm not going to let giant corporations dictate America's trade policy anymore. I'll make sure our trade policies create and defend good American jobs and raise wages—and that unions and labor will have a seat at the negotiating table.
  • As he tries to compensate for his own mishandling of the economy, Donald Trump appears to be floating a tax giveaway that would go almost entirely to the wealthy. He has no plan except more looting to reward his rich buddies.
  • The people of Hong Kong deserve the rights promised to them by the Chinese government. The world is watching.
  • This is depraved and inhumane. The Trump administration must allow these vulnerable immigrants to stay and receive treatment.
  • We can fight climate change if we take bold actions. My green manufacturing plan will invest $2 trillion in green research, manufacturing, and exporting over the next ten years—creating 1.2 million good American jobs, and helping clean up our planet.
  • For a lot of candidates, “call-time” means hopping on the phone to ask wealthy donors for big checks. Not me. I spend “call-time” talking with voters and grassroots donors. Will I call you next? Chip in $3 now.
  • 2020 is our chance to: ✅ Return the power to the people ✅ Save our planet from climate change ✅ Make our economy work for working families Will you chip in $3 or whatever you can right now to help make it happen?
  • Climate change is an existential crisis. We should be enforcing and strengthening our environmental regulations—not rolling them back.
  • If you own a home, you already pay a wealth tax—it’s just called a property tax. My makes sure the 75,000 wealthiest American families pay their fair share of taxes on all other forms of wealth too, so everyone has a chance to succeed.
