3 out of 4 black children will live under the poverty line for at least one year before they turn 18. That’s an abomination.

Young people are our future. It just does not make sense to burden them with enormous debt when they try to get an education.

When will the U.S. join countless other major countries and guarantee our workers a living wage, health care and paid family leave?

We are in this together. The truth is, on some level, when you hurt, when your children hurt, I hurt. And when my kids hurt, you hurt.

It is way too late to have a slew of climate change deniers sitting in powerful cabinet positions.

Those concerned about the cost of transitioning to renewable energy should truly fear the cost of failing to do so as soon as possible.

Donald Trump, the "anti-establishment" Republican, is building a cabinet worth at least $13 billion. The hypocrisy astounds me.

Republicans claim to want less intrusive government, but then they force regulations on women’s bodies.

Oligarchy is not just an American issue, it is a global issue. The top 1% of the world's population owns more wealth than the bottom 99%.

There are fair ways to reduce deficits, but cutting programs that benefit the vulnerable while giving the rich tax breaks is not among them.

People ask me every day, well, what do we do now? What you do now is get involved—heavily—into the political process.

The very rich get richer, the middle class shrinks and 43 million Americans live in poverty. We must stop the movement toward oligarchy.

Lack of mental health treatment is a major crisis. Less than 50% of adults with mental illness received the treatment they needed last year.

Our diversity is our strength. We must take pride in that, not let hatred divide us.

We cannot allow ourselves to be divided by the anti-immigrant and xenophobic hysteria the Republican party has concocted.

We must remember that not only does the wage gap exist, but also that it disproportionately hurts women of color.
