    Thank you and for welcoming us and for inviting us to play for such an amazing crowd!!!
     
  • In the richest country on Earth, getting sick should not mean you must declare bankruptcy or drown in debt for decades. We are going to eliminate all outstanding medical debt in America.
  • If you've struggled to afford your premium, co-pay, or prescription, or went to an out-of-network provider by mistake, or suddenly lost coverage—you're not alone. The system is intentionally rigged against working people. We're going to change that with Medicare for All.
  • Walmart's CEO made 1,076 times their median employee last year. The Walton family makes $25,000 a minute. Don't tell me that they can't afford to pay a living wage. They choose not to out of greed. And together, that's the kind of greed we're going to end.
  • Access to the internet is a necessity in today's economy, and it should be available for all. It must be treated as the new electricity.
  • The federal government electrified America as part of the New Deal. The United States put people on the moon 50 years ago. We can sure as hell transform our energy system away from fossil fuels to 100% renewables today and create millions of jobs in the process.
  • The War on Drugs has been a disaster. We need to legalize marijuana nationwide, invest in the communities that have been destroyed by its criminalization, and expunge past marijuana-related convictions.
  • Insulin costs $6 per vial to make. Diabetics need it to survive. Pharma companies in the U.S. sell it for over $300. Our health care system today is not about keeping people alive. It is about making huge profits. Medicare for All is about changing that gross injustice.

    We are going to win the Green New Deal because our generation understands: this is the fight of our lives. We will vote GND champions into office, and we will be in the streets until it is impossible for our government not to hear us. The decade of the Green New Deal is coming.
  • I believe in the young people of this country and their power to transform America.
  • Jane and I would like to wish a happy and peaceful Hanukkah to all those who are celebrating around the world this week.

    En este movimiento es importante que todos sean parte de la conversación. Gracias a por participar del primer “townhall” en español para que todos sepan que entiende que nuestras voces son importantes. ¡Que se repita!
     
  • I refuse to leave our grandchildren a planet that is not healthy and habitable. We need a Green New Deal.

    🇺🇸 conversó con la congresista sobre cómo ha cambiado su vida este año y por qué para ella es importante practicar y mejorar su español. 👉🏻No se pierdan la entrevista esta tarde en el noticiero de las 6:30pm.
  • Private insurance companies and drug companies will spend outrageous amounts of money trying to defeat us. That is how you know we are on the side of the American people.

    En esta campaña vamos a donde está nuestra gente.
     
  • Estamos construyendo una coalición multirracial que es lo suficientemente poderosa como para vencer a Trump. Únete a la representante para una reunión política en Nevada que se llevara a cabo en español.
