James — Bernie isn’t giving up the fight, and neither are we. In his post-election op-ed, Bernie lays out a working class agenda that Democrats can push for in Congress — and call Republicans bluff. Add your name to support Bernie’s agenda and urge Democrats to fight the GOP on policy >>
While Republicans hold Congress, Democrats can still propose bills that force the GOP to either vote yes and stand with the working class or else reveal themselves as frauds beholden to corporate greed.
Here are some of the priorities Bernie is urging Democrats to fight for in 2025:
- End Citizens United and stop billionaires from buying elections
- Raise the federal minimum wage to $17 an hour
- Pass the PRO Act to make it easier for workers to unionize
- Protect and expand Social Security benefits by lifting the cap
- Expand Medicare to include home care, dental, hearing, and vision
- Cut prescription drug prices in half
- Guarantee paid medical and family leave
- Guarantee equal pay for equal work
- Build 3 million housing units of affordable housing
- Tuition free higher education
- Make childcare affordable
- Raise public school teacher pay
- Tax the rich
- Slash the massive Pentagon budget
As Bernie said, “The simple fact is: if you stand with working people, they will stand with you. In my view, if Democrats deliver on an agenda like this, they can win back the working class of our country and the White House.”
No matter how many people in the billionaire class or leadership of the Democratic Party criticize Bernie for speaking the truth, we know our progressive fight is the way forward.
Our movement must come together now, when many in the Democratic Party don’t know the best path ahead, and amass our support behind Bernie’s economic agenda. This is how we fight Trumpism and make a working class agenda central to the Democratic Party.
Stand with Bernie now. Sign on to support his call for the Democratic Party to embrace this agenda and bring the fight to Republicans.
Thank you,
Our Revolution
