Without protests, we would still live in a segregated country.
Without protests, women would still be second class citizens.
Without protests, the LGBTQ community would still be hiding their identities.
Congress must not provide any more U.S. funding for Netanyahu’s illegal, immoral, and brutal war that is destroying the lives of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza.
The American people are increasingly disgusted by the destruction of Gaza and the unbelievable misery that is befalling the Palestinian people.
This must end. No more taxpayer dollars to fund Netanyahu’s war machine.
Let me thank the people of Vermont, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the opportunity to serve them in the United States Senate. It has been the honor of my life.
Today, I am announcing my intention to seek another term. Here is why:
Here’s my message to CEOs who think they alone can have it all.
Republicans say raising taxes on billionaires and Pentagon cost overruns are off the table in the debt limit negotiations. WRONG. What should be off the table are children, working families, and elderly Americans.
I would like to say a few words to the CEOs of General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis.
Join me and Rev. William Barber II this week as we hold rallies in North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina to raise the minimum wage.
I’ve traveled all across this country and too many times have heard horrific stories of people who have had to make the impossible choice between putting food on the table or being able to purchase the insulin they need to stay alive. Let me be as clear as I can possibly be: in the richest country on the face of the planet, no one should have to ration their insulin. That’s why today, Cori Bush and I are introducing the Insulin for All Act which would take on the pharmaceutical industry’s decades of reckless greed and cap the price of insulin for everyone in this country at no more than $20 per vial.
I stand with courageous @uaw.union workers as they go out on strike. Their fight for a just economy is our fight. Solidarity forever.
There’s a reason the corporate media does not cover working class issues.
If new technology makes us a more productive society, the benefits should go to the workers – not just to those on top.
In these very difficult times for our country, despair is not an option. We must be strong, we must be focused, and we must win.

Susheela Jayapal fights for immigrants, for our planet, and for workers in Oregon and across our country. I am proud to support her campaign for Congress.
The fossil fuel industry isn’t in the business of providing energy. They’re in the business of making as much money as they can. And in the process if they destroy our planet, so what?
It’s time to hold them accountable.
In California and across the country, we are in the midst of a massive housing crisis. Landlords should not be allowed to raise rents to whatever they want, whenever they want.
I am proud to support Californians in their fight for rent control. #Yeson21
Corrupt real estate developers are gentrifying neighborhoods and forcing working families out of the homes and apartments, only to replace them with fancy condominiums and hotels that only the very rich can afford.
We need affordable housing for all.
