Some Tweets from Marianne Williamson


  • My event with will be livestreamed - details coming soon.
  • Join Deepak and me in New York on Monday, December 16 ... Love in Action ... Details Here:
  • Miss me?
  • “I’m 14 and I’ve seen things that kids my age are not supposed to see.”
  • We need a mother in the White House...
  • Today is World Children’s Day - a day to celebrate children and to rededicate ourselves to their wellbeing. No better way to do that than to establish the Department of Children and Youth.
  • Fear and hate are profound motivators not just personally but also politically. And so is love. There are far more lovers than haters in this country but haters are politicized and convicted and on the move. Lovers among us need to display as much conviction as do those who hate.
  • What we have now represents a quantum leap backwards; the only thing that can change that is a quantum leap forward. The politics of fear will only be overridden by a politics of love: Love of each other, love of our children, love of the earth, love of justice and love of peace.
  • Trump administration’s decision to legitimize West Bank settlements is bad for the Palestinians, bad for Israel & bad for the world. America’s main ally should be humanity itself: the only way to demonstrate that re Israel-Palestinian politics is to stand for a 2 state solution.
  • Our national goal when I’m president: a world w/out war by 2100. We need Peace Games as well as War Games & a peace Academy as well as a military Academy. “Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.” JFK
  • New Talk from Democratic Presidential Candidate Marianne Williamson in Omaha, Nebraska!
  • Self-appointed president Anez is suppressing opposition in Bolivia, the country now descending into violence after coup against Evo Morales. The United States MUST stand on the side of the people and demand free, democratic elections.
  • Only a candidate who’s telling outrageous truths will be able to defeat a candidate who’s telling outrageous lies.
  • I’m praying this morning for the protesters in Hong Kong and for those who love them. May peace and understanding prevail.
  • My plan for peace focuses on the amelioration of human suffering as the core of conflict-prevention; support for advancement of democracy before advancement of US corporate interests; and development, diplomacy & humanitarian aid before military dominance.
  • “We need to change the bottom line in this country from an economic bottom line to a humanitarian bottom line.”
  • A policy here & a policy there won’t fix it. A plan here & a plan there won’t fix it. Treating symptoms isn’t enough; we have to address cause. If we only address external level then forces that are a problem now will be back in ‘22 and ‘24. Gotta go deep.
  • Spirituality is the path of the heart. The the problem with American politics is how many of our public policies are heartless.
  • I have no problem calling myself a capitalist. It’s not capitalism per se but a virulent strain of capitalism that has corrupted our govt & highjacked America’s value system. Capitalism, like any public institution, should display ethics & moral consideration for people & planet.
  • We shouldn’t just save Social Security; we should expand it. We should scrap the cap so we all continue to pay into it no matter how much money we make. Plus UBI should be extended to everyone even after 65. High near-poverty rate among so many Seniors is completely unacceptable.
  • If you feel like moving to Iowa to volunteer for Marianne2020 please contact juan@marianne2020.com
  • We need to totally repudiate the underpinnings of a now corrupt political system in which we have allowed the basic tenet of government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” to be hollowed out in favor of a corporate aristocracy. Only we the people can make it change
  • Our country shouldn’t be run like a business, we should be run like a family. We should put the welfare of our children & elderly at the top of the list of our national priorities, not the bottom. Yet with corporate profits America’s false God, American people are left to suffer.
