    Fossil fuel corporations and right-wing authoritarians from Brazil to the United States are driving the climate crisis. The only way we can take them on is with a mass movement for a Green New Deal.

    Remember that the climate crisis is making hurricanes more extreme. Remember who is responsible for that: a handful of fossil fuel executives who are getting rich while millions suffer. We will hold them accountable for their outrageous, destructive greed.

    The U.S. is on track to generate 40 times more new oil and gas than Saudi Arabia in the next decade. Let that sink in. If we are going to have a livable planet we must aggressively phase out the use of fossil fuels and end all new fossil fuel infrastructure and exports.

    What is a worker’s line of defense? It is the right to strike. It is time to ensure that federal workers have the same rights as private sector workers, including the right to strike.

    When billionaires spend millions of dollars lobbying for so-called “right to work” for less laws, they are waging a war on workers. We will end, once and for all, the disastrous “right to work” laws in 28 states by repealing section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act.

    Donald Trump abandoned the labor movement because he knows that unions are the last line of defense against the greed of his billionaire friends. When we are in the White House, we will double union membership in America. Happy Labor Day from New Hampshir

    I hear a lot in the corporate media about how Medicare for All is just "too expensive." You know what is too expensive? Paying $28,000 a year for health insurance – the average for a family of four. That is really damn expensive! And it's going to end under Medicare for All.
