Our campaign is not about fighting for a better world; it’s about taking a stand for one. It’s about co-creating an economy with a humanitarian bottom line, launching a season of repair and beginning a new chapter in American history.

It's not an extremist position to argue that no one should go hungry or without medical care in the richest country in the world; what's extremist is the idea that such things are tolerable.
All on his own, with one stroke of the pen, President Biden could #CancelStudentDebt. It would boost our economy, start to close the racial wealth gap, and lift an impossible burden off tens of millions of people. And there’s no need to wait.
Dr. King was a great civil rights leader, but he was more than that. He was a political revolutionary who summoned the nation to “undergo a radical revolution of values” to overcome “the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism.” Never forget his vision.
If someone is worried month after month how they'll pay next month's bills no matter how hard they try, plus what will happen if a family member gets sick, they begin to experience a permanent state of trauma. But it isn't a mental health issue - it's an economic injustice issue.
Against overwhelming odds, the men and women of the labor movement changed society for the better. If you've ever enjoyed a paid vacation, a weekend off, a sick day, or a pension, the labor movement — not your boss — are the people to thank.
