    Bernie is the frontrunner, and no amount of "stop Bernie" nonsense is going to contravene the will of this beautiful multiracial, working class coalition. Hear more on this week's -- now available to watch in full on YouTube!

    What I appreciate most abt Sanders is he doesn’t try to speak for or to Blck people, he lets us speak for ourselves as we know best. He couldve done a traditional speech on Race in Flint, Michigan but instead he organized a Town Hall. And listen to what is shared by US not him.
    Tonight, I want to address the African American community and make clear my differences with Joe Biden. Join me live in Flint, Michigan.

    Bloody Sunday inspired Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act. Outrageously, this historic civil rights law has been gutted by the Supreme Court. But this will not stand. Those who risked their lives in Selma showed when people stand together for justice, nothing is impossible.
    55 years ago today, we were beaten, tear gassed, and trampled by horses. I thought I saw death. I thought I was going to die. I don't know how I made it back, but I know we cannot rest. We cannot become weary. We must…

    Biden spent years working with Republicans to push Social Security cuts — that makes him vulnerable to Trump attacks in a general election. Bernie isn’t vulnerable to those attacks, because Bernie has never worked with the GOP to try to cut Social Security

    incarcerated people, their families, and organizers in mississippi have worked for years to shed light and give voice to the cruel treatment of our people behind bars. this will end. in our lifetime.
    Our system of mass incarceration is racist and must end. In Mississippi prisons there have been 24 deaths in 67 days, overcrowding, medical neglect and inhumane conditions. I stand with the incarcerated, their families and the MS Prison Reform Coalition.

    Rejoining the Paris Agreement isn't enough. Scientists say we must act immediately to end our dependence on fossil fuels and avoid climate catastrophe. Our Green New Deal, which will create 20 million jobs, is the only plan in this race bold enough to address this crisis.
    Climate change is the existential crisis of our time. On day one, I'll rejoin the Paris Agreement — and then rally the world to push our progress further.

    I think a lot of the wealthy funders, six-figure making think tankers, moderate consultants, and folks inclined to centrism lack the ability to understand the despair of people with crushing debt and no path for a future. Our team gets it because many of us are crushed by debt.
    Brian Michelz has never worn a political T-shirt or been to a campaign rally. But when he voted for the first time in his life, it was for Bernie Sanders. He’s unsure what he’ll do if Sanders loses the Democratic primary.

    Joe Biden recently said, “I don’t think 500 billionaires are the reason why we’re in trouble.” I respectfully disagree. Any candidate who claims to believe black lives matter must take on the institutions that have continually exploited black lives.

    On a macro level, Medicare for All is essential to prevent future pandemics. If cost is a barrier to healthcare––as it is now––sick people delay treatment & spread illness. Making this an issue of individual "choice" neglects the fact that our choices impact other people.
