We campaigned alongside Bernie during his presidential 2016 run. His legacy is not forgotten. We are united, and look forward to the growth of the Bronx.
This happened yesterday at Barnard College. A black Columbia University student was entering the library when he was racially profiled by public safety officers. They took his ID. They pinned him down.

I’m absolutely heartbroken and outraged to learn another construction worker, a 34 year old, died early this morning on a site in lower Manhattan. This is extremely disturbing and so sad. We as a City must do MORE to protect and safeguard construction workers.
We’ve had enough disasters by now to learn that there’s no such thing as safe drilling. We cannot afford to keep putting profits for Trump's friends in the fossil fuel industry ahead of the environment and the health of the American people.
@BernieSanders where is education reform! There are States that refuse to update their budget calculations for public schools that discriminate against low income communities and exclude these children from a quality education!
My last ask before the fundraising deadline at midnight: We have a chance to send an unmistakable message about the size and strength of our campaign to the political establishment of this country. Let's make it happen.
Not me. Us. https://t.co/8vkvVq25vY
We set a goal of 1 million donations not because of what it says about me, but what it says about us—we're the best campaign to beat Trump and we're prepared to fight for Medicare for All, college for all and justice for all. Help us get there: https://t.co/Oj84MiY9lx
You know what would scare the hell out of Trump? One million grassroots contributions to our campaign. Help us get there by our deadline Sunday: https://t.co/vx9Mi4UCPV
When we talk about investing in our people, we hear, "How are you going to pay for that?” Yet the cost of our endless wars will soon surpass $6 trillion. Imagine if we invested $6 trillion in health care, education, housing, our infrastructure and much more. We must do better.
In the 16 years since the Iraq war began, we've lost many thousands of American and Iraqi lives and spent trillions of dollars. I opposed the war and it gives me no pleasure to say that much of what I feared came true. Our foreign policy must focus on diplomacy, not endless war.
Let’s vote out the representatives in the Bronx that are against desegregation of public schools in NYC...any official that is for keeping marganilized communities from getting adequate education should be voted out...vote them out now!
Each day that goes by where we turn our backs on Puerto Rico + Hurricane María, we are choosing to starve American people.
We are choosing to starve our own citizens, simply because of where *in our own country* they were born.
If we do it here, where could it happen next?
In a few years a $15 minimum wage has gone from a "radical idea" to being passed in:
California
Illinois
Massachusetts
New Jersey
New York
Los Angeles
Minneapolis
New York City
Seattle
San Francisco
St. Paul
We're just getting started. We will pass a federal $15 minimum wage.
At a time when we Americans have a total of $1.5 trillion in student loan debt, it is insane that Trump’s budget would cut $207 billion from college affordability programs over 10 years and eliminate the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
