  • I support the students, organizers, and activists demanding accountability on climate action and more at . Climate change is an existential threat, and we must take bold action to fight this crisis.
  • My heart is with today. Jordan Davis should be alive. We must call out the fact that Black Americans have borne the brunt of the gun violence tragedy in our country. I promise to fight my heart out—for justice for Jordan, and to end this epidemic.
  • I’m glad everyone is enjoying the Bailey photos we sent out yesterday! For more updates from our grassroots campaign (and maybe more photos in the future), add your name:
  • This guy was Mick Mulvaney’s right-hand man in Congress. Now, he has a plum job as a payday loan lobbyist and is cozying up to Mulvaney to advance his clients’ interests. In a Warren administration, we’ll stand up to lobbyists and the predatory loan industry.
  • Mike Bloomberg is placing $34 million in TV ads in one week—the most of any presidential candidate in history. That’s one way to pay less under my . Because in a Warren administration, he and his billionaire friends would finally have to pay their fair share.
  • I’m grateful to have you in this fight, . Together, we’ll keep fighting to end the gun violence epidemic.
  • Unlike other candidates, I don’t host fancy fundraisers, I don’t take money from PACs, and I don’t cozy up to billionaires. Instead, small-dollar donors are the backbone of our grassroots campaign. Donate whatever you can now, and join the fight!

    I’m so excited to join this feminist, fearless trio in working to elect Elizabeth Warren as our President. Text WIN to 24477 to join the fight!
  • Donald Trump is a walking, talking conflict of interest. It should be illegal for a president to twist the rules of our government to make themselves richer. Under my anti-corruption bill—the biggest since Watergate—it would be.
  • . is exactly right. The Keystone XL pipeline is a harmful project that locks us into further dependence on some of the dirtiest fossil fuels on the planet. We need clean energy and protection for tribal lands, not another crummy fossil fuel investment.
  • People who made it big should chip in to make sure that everyone else can make it, too.
  • When workers fight, workers win. Congratulations to employees on unionizing! Let’s keep fighting together to ensure that it’s quick and easy for everyone to join unions.
  • Iranians have taken to the streets to protest corruption and authoritarianism. This struggle must ultimately be fought and won by the people of Iran, but we support their demand for dignity, freedom to connect to the outside world, and right to peacefully demonstrate.

  • I’m inspired by the people of Nashville who are building a grassroots movement to ban private prisons from their community. In a Warren administration, we’ll ban them at the federal level.
  • It should be quick and easy to join a union. Yet here’s another example of how the rich and powerful try to stop American workers from standing together. I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Bright Solar workers fired after unionizing with .
  • Grateful to be in this fight alongside you, !
  • Did I have a plan to get me, , and out of the escape room? You bet.
  • Every presidential candidate should join us in pledging to end the practice of selling cushy diplomatic posts to wealthy donors.
  • Black history is American history. The lessons of Black history—from the Atlanta washerwoman's strike, to Dorothy Bolden’s fight for domestic workers—will not be lost. What an honor to be with and at last night.

    Elizabeth Warren makes a pinky promise with a pint-sized persister.
  • This isn’t about drivers’ licenses or the Census. This is another cruel way that the Trump administration and Republicans are working to undercount, underfund, and take political power away from immigrant communities. We must fight back.

    Introducing our Campaign Co-Chairs: Deb Haaland, Ayanna Pressley, and Katie Porter.
  • This cruel, unnecessary policy will put asylum seekers at risk. Our laws and our values compel us to help those fleeing violence and oppression. I'll reverse this policy and welcome asylum seekers.
  • WeWork is laying off 2,400 employees—while its founder walks away with a massive $1.7 billion golden parachute. This is another example of a rigged and corrupt system. I’m fighting my heart out to put power in the hands of American workers.
  • Let’s be clear: It’s time for our government to have a full-blown national conversation about reparations. We must be honest about our history, and do what’s right so that our nation can begin to heal.
  • White supremacy, white nationalism, and corruption threaten to break our democracy beyond repair. Now more than ever, all of us must embrace the lessons of Black history to confront this challenge.
  • Racism props up the rich and powerful, leaving them free to take more power for themselves. And the rich and powerful aren’t going to just give away their power. If we want power, we have to fight for it.
  • Yes, there’s a lot at stake in this election, and I know people are scared. But the washerwomen were not afraid. Dorothy Bolden was not afraid. I am not afraid. And you can't be afraid, either.
    I've been called persistent in my time—and I love it. But understand this: The persistence of generations of Black women, and Black people in America, is the true story of American persistence.
  • From the boldness of Atlanta’s Washerwomen to the courage of Dorothy Bolden, Black history teaches us that the only way to win is to get in the fight.
  • Dorothy Bolden showed that one very determined woman—backed up by many people across this country—can deliver big structural change.
  • This isn’t about whether or not we start a fight. We’re already in a fight. This is about how we win.
  • We all know—and say—the names of those whose lives have been cut short with callous indifference by law enforcement. Let’s honor Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Rekia Boyd, Korryn Gaines, Sandra Bland, and Atatiana Jefferson by reforming our criminal justice system once and for all.
  • And there’s more. It’s time to live our values. Look at the four words etched above the Supreme Court: Equal Justice Under Law. But justice is not equal in America.
  • Voter suppression is just one more relic of Jim Crow, and we need to say so. That’s why I have a plan to strengthen voting in America. It starts with restoring the Voting Rights Act.
  • Right now, our democracy is broken. How do I know? Because Brian Kemp is sitting in ’ chair. And we are all grateful to Stacey for what she’s doing to make sure that never happens again in this country.
  • The federal government helped create the racial divide in this country through decades of active, state-sponsored discrimination and that means the federal government has an obligation to fix it. And I have a lot of plans for how we can begin to fix it together.
  • The 1994 crime bill exacerbated the mass incarceration that has locked up millions of Black men and women, many for the smallest infractions.
  • Government redlining meant that too often toxic waste dumps and polluting factories are located far away from white communities and right next to Black communities.
  • It’s time for our government to face this truth. Time for America to have a full-blown national conversation about reparations. Time to adopt H.R. 40, ’s reparations plan. Time to do what’s right, so our nation can begin to heal.
