    I feel tremendously blessed with the opportunities I’ve had in life. I want to make sure every American has those opportunities—regardless of their neighborhood, background, or income.

    We must reject this bigotry and root out white supremacist extremism that’s on the rise across the country.

    My thoughts are with Las Vegas and those affected by the worst residential fire in the city’s history. Everyone should have access to safe housing—without relying on a stove to heat their home.

    Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy is forcing families into camps at our border—leaving them vulnerable to kidnapping, extortion, and even murder. I’ll end this policy on day one, and restore our commitment to asylum seekers.

    Deportation should not be a political weapon. This is exactly why I’ve called for independent immigration courts and a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. We can chose common sense and compassion over cruelty.

    Dreamers are Americans. Period. Trump is working to deport these young people despite promising to protect them, and before the Supreme Court rules. This monstrous action cannot move forward. DACA must be preserved until real immigration reform is done.

    Far too often, families of the victims of police violence never get the justice they deserve. This is a major step to deliver that justice for the Jefferson family. We must break down barriers to justice and prevent these tragic crimes in the first place.

    The immigrant's American dream story isn't a sprint, or a marathon—but a relay passed from generation to generation. The struggles will continue. But as we work to build an America where everyone counts, we can ease those struggles for the ones that follow us.

    Farmworkers of all backgrounds still face serious challenges—entrenched poverty, poor housing, and a lack of basic amenities like electricity and plumbing. I'm proud to put forward the first plan to expand fundamental rights to farmworkers and invest in their communities.

    The Mexican American experience has been tremendously complex, and not without setbacks. When my grandmother arrived to the U.S. as a child, signs like these that read “No Dogs, No Negroes, No Mexicans” were still prominent—even in Texas.

    The Sea Mar Museum of Chicano/Latino Culture is the 1st museum in the Pacific Northwest to highlight the Mexican American experience—including those who came to the US as farmworkers. My tour this morning was a poignant reminder that many of these struggles continue today.

    There's a rental affordability crisis in this country, and homelessness is on the rise across the U.S. Yet, there wasn't a single question about housing at last night's . Our nominee must be ready to address this issue in day one.

    Billionaire wine cave owners don’t need defenders in Washington, but the thousands of farmworkers who pick their grapes do. I’m fighting for the most vulnerable Americans, on and off the debate stage.

    While “wine caves” got a lot of attention at tonight’s , the thousands of California farmworkers who work at vineyards did not. I'll be a president who fights for those left behind by our politics—not wealthy donors.
