I’m inspired by all the students across the country making their voices heard. I’m standing with you and you can count on me to keep up the pressure on my colleagues in the U.S. Senate. Please share your photos from where you are! #NationalWalkoutDay

No matter how you spin it, our country won't be made stronger by removing thousands of our entrepreneurs, nurses, firefighters, teachers & others giving back to our communities. Republicans in Congress must work w/ us to protect Dreamers, & I won’t stop fighting to get it done.
