I'm an organizer, I'm a community activist, I try to help my neighbors, that's what I do, that’s what gives me joy in life. So I'm taking action and I’m running because I don't want my friends and neighbors to go through the same struggles and injustices I’ve experienced.
As we go about combating the many overlapping crises that we face, we have to ensure that good jobs for regular, everyday people are at the core of everything we do. We’re not simply going to hope that we put people back to work by enacting programs like a Green New Deal and Medicare for all—we’re going to guarantee it.
And every single job will be a good job, with living wages and full benefits. But it doesn’t stop there. We’re going to protect these gains by strengthening workers rights across the board, including the right to be part of a union, because strong organized labor has always been a key component of economic prosperity in America.
