    5 million donations to our campaign. That would send an unmistakable message to the billionaire class that we're going to win. We're getting closer, but we're not there yet. Chip in here to help us get there:

    A Green New Deal is not radical or extreme. What's radical and extreme is allowing fossil fuel companies to cause the displacement and deaths of millions of people in order to turn a profit.

    My family relied on food stamps (EBT) when my dad died at 48. I was a student. If this happened then, we might’ve just starved. Now, many people will. It’s shameful how the GOP works overtime to create freebies for the rich while dissolving lifelines of those who need it most.

    BREAKING: Trump admin. has formalized work requirements for recipients of food stamps, a move that will cause nearly 700,000 people to lose access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

    Thank you for speaking out and sharing your story. We're going to take on the health insurance greed that is stopping too many Americans from getting the necessary care they need.

    I appeared on TYT last night to discuss my Stage IV cancer diagnosis and refusal of the insurance company to allow me to get the treatment I need.

    The insurance industry lies that Medicare for All will mean "long wait times." Read these replies. There is an endless wait in America happening now—for those waiting to be able to afford care they need. Medicare for All means no more putting off care due to cost.

    Wall Street’s greed has left millions unbanked or underbanked. We must establish basic banking services at post offices across the country.

    Bank branches are slowly disappearing across the country. Between 2012 and 2017, there was about a 7% drop in the overall number, according to the Fed. But the rural communities tend to feel those losses more intensely:

    In 1979 students paid $500 a year in today's dollars to attend Cal State University. Today they pay $7,300. We're failing our young people, but it's not too late to fix. We're going to make public colleges, universities and trade schools tuition-free and cancel student debt.

    As you know, I don't spend my time traveling to ask big donors for money. We won't have a super PAC. And I'm not a self-funding billionaire ready to throw tens of millions of dollars into this race. I just need small donors like you to chip in here.

    While scientists tell us climate change is the great threat facing our planet, Trump thinks it is a "hoax." Trump's ignorance threatens the lives and well-being of our kids and future generations. He must be defeated. We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels.

    The votes elected officials take should be based on the best interests of the American people—not the fear of retribution by special interests who spend millions and millions of dollars on negative advertisements.

    I’m proud we don’t have any billionaires supporting our campaign. The time for the 0.1% calling the shots in our economic and political life is over. We will tax their wealth to raise $4.35 trillion over 10 years, break up their power and give it back to the working class.

    Walmart’s CEO made 1,076 times more than the median Walmart worker last year. The Walton family makes $70,000 a minute. Don't tell me Walmart cannot afford to pay a living wage to every worker. They choose not to out of greed.
