The Campaigns
Police Violence
With the advent of camera phones, excessive and sometimes lethal force against Black Americans is being documented and presented to the public in new and horrifying ways.
The Economy
In 2009, America was facing the worst recession since the Great Depression. Today, young people and their families are still have an extremely difficult time finding jobs.
Gun Safety
The human toll of gun violence is immeasurable. Every single day, 34 people are murdered in the US. That equates to 33,000 lives that are claimed every year because of gun violence.
LGBTQ & Equal Rights
In 2015, the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land in all 50 states. But targeted violence and the ongoing fight over transgender rights has proved that the battle is far from over.
Climate Change
When the US withdraw from the Paris Agreement, America officially ceded its global leadership on climate change. To confront climate change, we must do everything in our power to tackle this pressing issue.
Immigration
Today, 11 million undocumented immigrants have no pathway to citizenship. Reforming this system would reduce the federal deficit by $897B over 20 years and create 3 million jobs by 2024.
Mass Incarceration
With 1 in every 4 adults having a criminal record and prison, jail and immigrant prison costs skyrocketing, mass incarceration has become mainstream. Today, there are more jails in the U.S. than colleges and universities.
