Fighting Back Against White Nationalist Violence

Domestic right-wing terrorism is completely incompatible with American values. It is a threat to American safety and security. In a Warren administration, we will use every tool we have to defeat it. Here’s my plan to address white nationalist violence and associated acts of terror.

Protecting and Empowering Renters

My Housing Plan for America invests $500 billion over the next ten years to build, preserve, and rehab more than three million units that will be affordable to lower-income families. My plan will lower rents by 10%, reform land-use rules that restrict affordable housing construction and further racial segregation, and take a critical first step towards closing the racial wealth gap.

Keeping Our Promises to Our Service Members, Veterans, and Military Families

Less than 1% of the U.S. population currently serves in uniform. And while Americans rightly honor their service on November 11, too often the day-to-day sacrifices of military families go unseen and unremarked. Parades and salutes to the troops are important ways that Americans express their gratitude, but they’re only platitudes if they’re not backed up with meaningful action and policies that support our military both during and after service — not just on Veterans Day, but every day.

Ending the Stranglehold of Health Care Costs on American Families

I spent my career studying why so many hard-working middle class families were going broke. For years, my research partners and I traveled the country from bankruptcy courtroom to bankruptcy courtroom, talking directly to people who’d seen their lives turned upside down. We interviewed lawyers, judges, and families involved in bankruptcy cases. To save on printing costs, we lugged around a Xerox machine to save money on photocopying court records.

Breaking the Political Influence of Market-Dominant Companies

Just two years after leaving his role as George W. Bush’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Joel Kaplan was hired by Facebook to be the tech giant’s Vice President for U.S. Public Policy. Since Kaplan brought his government contacts to Facebook, the company has spent over $71 million lobbying the federal government, including against policies that protect consumer privacy and election integrity — nearly 100 times what it had spent before Kaplan joined — and Facebook is now waging a new, multi-million dollar effort amid antitrust scrutiny.

We have to close the pay-gap for Black women

“Black women are more likely to be breadwinners for their families, yet they’re paid less on average. That’s just wrong. We have a lot of work to do to close that pay gap—and I’m in this fight all the way. #BlackWomensEqualPay ”

I have a plan to protect Trans immigrants

“Trans immigrants like Zuleika—and other vulnerable asylum seekers—face unimaginable risks while the Trump administration forces them to wait in Mexico. My immigration plan ensures they'll be safely and humanely welcomed at ports of entry.”

We must end cash bail, invest in public defenders and break the cycle of incarceration

“Our criminal justice system is stacked against Tera’s family. She worries her brothers won’t be able to break the cycle of incarceration. We must end cash bail, invest in public defenders and mental health treatment, and help formerly incarcerated people succeed. ”

We must end corporate capture of federal courts

“I've argued for years that corporate capture of the federal courts is a serious problem. It's getting worse. The next president must address it—and that starts by committing to dramatically increase the professional diversity of the federal bench.”

We need to defend the Flores agreement

We can’t allow corporations discriminate against trans Americans

“If the Trump administration gets its way on this, employers could legally fire trans Americans just for being themselves. This is discrimination, plain and simple, and we’re going to fight it with everything we’ve got.”

We need to reform criminal justice, so we have one justice for rich and poor.

Four words are etched above the Supreme Court: Equal Justice Under Law. That’s supposed to be the promise of our justice system. But today in America, there’s one system for the rich and powerful, and another one for everybody else. It’s not equal justice when a kid with an ounce of pot can get thrown in jail, while a bank executive who launders money for a drug cartel can get a bonus. It’s long past time for us to reform our system.

We will fight the gag rule that keeps providers like Planned Parenthood serving patients

“I stand with @PPact. The Trump administration’s gag rule is a deliberate attempt to keep providers like Planned Parenthood from serving patients—and an attack on women with low incomes who depend on them to get the care they need. We’ll fight this.”

Maximizing shareholder value at the expense of workers must stop, we need action.

“A year ago, I called out CEOs and the Business Roundtable for their single-minded focus on maximizing shareholder value at the expense of workers. Looks like they finally got the memo. But without real action, their announcement is meaningless.”
