    87 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. Tens of thousands die each year because they don't have insurance. 500,000 go bankrupt a year due to medical bills. It's not enough to tinker around the edges. We must pass Medicare for All.

    Our fight for workers' rights does not stop at a $15 minimum wage. We will fight for safe and decent working conditions free of harassment. We will fight for decent benefits and health care. We will fight for a union for every worker in America.

    Trump's administration works on behalf of his top donors on Wall Street and in the fossil fuel industry. I also pledge to work for our campaign's top donors: teachers and Walmart workers.

    All workers should have the right to collectively bargain and strike.

    I’m disgusted by the idea that Michael Bloomberg or any billionaire thinks they can circumvent the political process and spend tens of millions of dollars to buy elections. If you can’t build grassroots support for your candidacy, you have no business running for president.
    NEW: Bloomberg has reserved more than $30 million TV ads beginning on Monday. A huge show of financial force. Story:

    Bangladeshi tenants in Queens are joining together to take on the greed and abuse of landlords. I stand with them. Landlords should not be allowed to raise rents to whatever they want, whenever they want. It is time for national rent control.

    It was a special honor to be at Morehouse College today, to look out at the statue of Dr. King and to be joined by so many young people in the fight for education and justice. We will undo the hatred coming from Trump’s White House. We will bring our people together.

    This is absolutely unacceptable and Bright Power must be held accountable. All workers deserve the right to form a union free from harassment and retaliation.
    SCOOP: These NYC construction workers (inspired by 's Green New Deal) formed the first union at a solar energy company in the state. On Monday, the company fired all of them.
