I sponsored the bill to renew the assault weapons ban. We need to do it. But if Congress won’t act, I'll take executive action as President to ban imports of AR-15-style assault weapons. We can't afford to wait any longer as these guns flood our country.
Thankful for our brave servicemembers this #ArmedForcesDay and every day. They give so much to keep our nation safe and we must honor their sacrifice by ensuring they have support when they come back home, including job training, health care, and mental health services.
Even as states like Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, and Mississippi are hell-bent on overturning Roe v. Wade and outlawing abortion in this country, there are more of us across the country who are ready to defend women’s reproductive freedom. We won’t go backward.
Once again, another state legislature joins those restricting a woman’s constitutional rights. This decision belongs between a woman and her doctor — not a woman, her doctor, and politicians.
Great to be back in Nevada yesterday to hear from folks who are organizing their communities and fighting for the issues they care about from immigration to criminal justice reform. Thanks to @OneAPIANevada and Hispanics in Politics for hosting me.
Many women don’t even know they’re pregnant at 8-weeks. We need to fight back now, more ever, for the women of Missouri and women everywhere.
The Equality Act just passed the House, sending a clear message that discrimination against LGBTQ* people won’t be tolerated. No one should ever be denied work, service, or a place to live because of who they are or who they love. I urge the GOP to bring it to the Senate floor.
Brown v. Board is personal to me. My class was only the second after busing integrated Berkeley Public Schools. Without this decision, I likely wouldn’t be a U.S Senator. It’s critical we combat the racial inequalities that still exist in our schools.
Make no mistake, Roe v. Wade is under attack and we need to fight back. Help give to abortion rights organizations who remove financial and logistical barriers to abortion access and protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions:
Let me be clear: as president, I will fight to strengthen and expand Social Security and Medicare. For countless seniors, these programs mean the difference between skipping a few meals or putting food on the table. Let’s give them the dignity they were promised.
Assault weapons have flooded into the U.S. from foreign countries. Yesterday, I announced that, as president, I will take executive action to ban the importation of AR-15-style guns. Learn more about my plan to curb gun violence.
This should not be who we are. These are not our values. And this will not happen when I am president.
