We are staring at a very fundamental choice, and nothing less than the future of our planet is at stake.

It would be an absolute moral disgrace and abomination if we left future generations a planet that was unhealthy, unsafe, and uninhabitable. Dear Friends, Climate change is an existential threat to our planet. To put it simply, if the United States and the global community don't get their act to…

I'm writing to ask you to add your name in support of Medicare for All before I re-introduce legislation in the Senate. Now more than ever, we must do away with our cruel and dysfunctional health care system and join every other major country on earth in guaranteeing health care as a basic human right. Please add your name if you agree. Thanks - Bernie

The goal of a humane health care system should be to provide health care to everyone in a cost-effective way — not to make billions in profits to benefit CEOs. Friends - Health care is a human right, not a privilege. The function of a rational health care system is to provide quality care to all…
