    I just stepped off the stage feeling fired up about the movement we’re building together. Our campaign is 100% grassroots funded—no fancy fundraisers, no federal lobbyists, no PACs. Will you chip in whatever you can to my campaign right now?
  • Woo-hoo! I love seeing Massachusetts ready to dream big, fight hard, and elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2020.
  • Thank you, Massachusetts! If we dream big and fight hard together, we can win in 2020.
     
  • Amazon needs to answer for the dangerous and unfair conditions that too many of their delivery drivers are forced to work under.
  • I'm heartsick for Bee Love Slater and her loved ones. The murder of Black trans women is a crisis—and we have to act now to stop it.
  • It’s also another reason why we need to . Amazon's anti-competitive merger with Whole Foods isn't just bad for consumers—it's bad for employees.
  • Jeff Bezos committed to providing his employees "important benefits"—right before Whole Foods cut health care benefits for hundreds of employees. This is exactly why we need .
  • Giant corporations don’t get to ruin the water for everyone else because it increases their profitability. When I’m president, I’ll reinstate the clean water rule to protect our streams and wetlands—and the drinking water they provide.
  • Keep fighting, . Democracy depends on all of us being willing to speak out.
  • This is appalling. We must use every tool at our disposal to end the HIV epidemic. That means funding research, reducing transmission rates, and ensuring that those living with HIV get the care that they need.
  • I know what’s broken in our country, and I’m in this fight to fix it.
  • Public defenders are under-resourced, overworked, and overwhelmed. My plan to reform our criminal justice system will empower our public defenders and make sure they have the resources they need.
  • That's why I'm fighting for . So that people like get the care they need. So that Rachael doesn't have to spend hours on hold, filling out forms, and fighting to get Ady's care covered. And Ady can enjoy the time he has left with his family.
  • The basic profit model of an insurance company is to bring in as much money as they can in premiums and pay out as little as possible in health care coverage. We like our doctors and our nurses—but I've never met anyone who actually likes their insurance company.
  • My friend has "good" health insurance, but it's not nearly enough. Every month, he has thousands of dollars in medical bills that his insurer won't cover. His wife Rachael spends hours every week arguing with their insurer. That's time she can't spend with Ady.
  • Our Social Security system should value the work of caregiving. My plan updates outdated rules to raise benefits for caregivers—on top of immediately increasing Social Security benefits by $200 a month for everyone.
  • The system is working great for giant pharmaceutical companies, but not so great for everyone who needs prescription drugs. I've got a few plans to fix that.
