I stand with UAW members. Will you add your name to join me?

Friend,    On Monday, the United Automobile Workers (UAW) went on strike for better wages and working conditions after failed negotiations with General Motors. This is a stark reminder of how utterly broken our system is: Corporations continue to exploit t…

Add your name right now to stand in solidarity with climate strikers

Friend,    We’re burning, and we’re not doing enough about it. Temperatures are steadily climbing, millions are losing their lives to floods and fires, global tensions are rising — all because of our dependence on coal, oil, and gas.    Young people are lea…

Today I’m proposing a plan for national public service. Will you take a look?

Friend —   Our next president must do more than replace Donald Trump in office. They must re-unite Americans around the values we share: freedom, compassion, diversity and hard work. They need to reinvigorate President Kennedy’s call for Americans to do what…

Take a look, Tom’s climate plan will add millions of jobs

Friend —   Tom is the strongest Democratic candidate for president on climate.    Here’s why: Tom has pledged to declare the climate crisis a national emergency on day one of his presidency. His plan will also invest in justice-based solutions while increa…

No deductions, no exemptions, no loopholes

Friend:   A country can — and should — be measured by how it treats its most vulnerable communities. And right now, our country is asking low-income families to bear a tax burden not shared by the wealthiest among us.   That’s why Tom is calling for a 1% ann…

Thursday night:

Friend —   On Thursday, 10 Democratic candidates for president took the stage for nearly three hours. Not one of them brought up the fact that Congress took the first steps toward impeaching Donald Trump this week.   Anyone who wants to lead our country sho…

[Add your name] It's time to take power away from lobbyists and CEOs and return it to the people

Friend,   Right now, here’s who our government is putting first: CEOs of wealthy corporations, white supremacists, and the NRA. And just about everyone else in this country feels like they don’t matter.   Congress is back from their six-week recess, and it’…

Add your name if you agree: Donald Trump is an illegitimate, criminal president.

Climate reform requires climate justice

Friend —   The idea that our planet is worth protecting isn’t a new one. But our plans to combat climate change should actually be centered around people. Because while climate change affects us all, it hurts low-income communities and communities of color f…

Sign on if you agree: We need a wealth tax

Tom’s calling out his peers, and you may be surprised how. Since last year — before any other presidential candidate — he’s pushed for a tax on himself and the wealthiest Americans. Tom is ready to institute an additional 1% annual wealth tax as president: A…

We need a wealth tax.

Friend —   As a billionaire, I’ll let you in on a secret: I’m entitled under current Republican law to pay less on my annual taxes than most Americans. For years, the GOP has claimed that if other wealthy families and I pay less in taxes, magically, everyone…

Friend, at this point, there isn’t time for vague plans and promises about climate change. Addressing the climate crisis requires a thorough vision that accounts for environmental justice, and can’t be condensed into a pithy retort or catchy one-liner.   The…

Hi friend, I’m Kat Taylor — Tom’s wife and partner.    Years ago, our dear friend John Gardner counseled Tom and me to “do” things as opposed to trying to “be” someone. After 33 years of marriage, four children, new jobs, new businesses, and now a president…
