    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?
  • Climate change is an existential crisis. We need aggressive action—and we need it now. Nothing less than a national, grassroots movement will be required. Together, we can make the big, structural change we need to tackle this crisis head-on.
  • We won’t solve the climate crisis with a one-size-fits-all approach. That's why I've woven policies tackling climate change throughout many of my plans, from how we approach trade to sustainable agriculture and protecting our public lands. Take a look:
  • I’m committing $1 trillion to decarbonizing our electricity, our vehicles, and our buildings. This is on top of the $2 trillion I've already committed to green research, manufacturing, and exporting. We'll create millions of jobs and achieve the goals of the .
  • . provided bold, detailed ideas on how to confront climate change, and his ideas should remain at the center of the climate agenda. Today, I'm adopting and building upon his ten-year action plan to achieve 100% clean energy for America.
  • Climate change costs lives, causes hundreds of billions of dollars in damage, and disproportionately impacts vulnerable communities. This is an emergency—but we also have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to tackle it head on with big, structural changes.
  • People with low incomes are more likely to be entangled in the criminal justice system, and—because of unreasonably punitive and financially burdensome systems like cash bail—they're less likely to make their way out. It's time to end cash bail.
  • Surprise, surprise: Another way Trump’s tax bill turned out to be just another giveaway for his rich buddies.
  • This is exactly why fines aren’t good enough. When executives of major companies knowingly hurt people through criminal negligence, they should face real criminal penalties.
  • This is a good start—but it's not nearly enough. Walmart can and should do much more. And we need real gun reform, now.
  • This is inhumane. Our government must provide those in our care with all the health and sanitary products they need.
  • We need strong enforcement of our campaign finance laws —and that means a fully functioning Federal Election Commission.
  • Thank you, New Hampshire, for letting me spend Labor Day with you! Let’s dream big, fight hard, and win together.
  • I began my campaign in Lawrence, MA, where textile workers—mostly women, nearly all immigrants—went on strike after their pay was cut. They put aside their differences and fought together for a better life. Their fight inspires and moves us today.
  • No matter how many times strikers and organizers have been told "it’s too hard, give up now," they've persisted. When workers organize and fight together, they win—and they can change America.
  • Unions built the middle class—and unions will rebuild the middle class. If we want more good American jobs, then we need stronger unions and more power in the hands of the people. I’m proud to be fighting alongside our unions.
    Elizabeth Warren stands with workers as they go on strike.
  • DoorDash—recently caught pocketing tips intended for their drivers—is joining the fight for a ballot initiative that will allow them to exploit their workers and deny them protections. All Democrats should speak out against this proposed ballot measure.
