I'm hitting the road again, and I'm asking if you can chip in $2.70 to help organize our movement nationwide

Sisters and Brothers - Let's be clear. It's not easy taking on the corporate establishment, the political establishment and the media establishment. But that is what we must do if we are going to have any chance at transforming this country and creating a government that works for all of us. B…

Sign my petition – tell Congress you believe it's time for Medicare for All to guarantee health care as a right for ALL in this country

Health care is a human right that all Americans, regardless of income, are entitled to. Friends - I understand that there is a lot that is going on in this world today. We’re worried about climate change, the terrible war in Ukraine, inflation and the fact that wages are not keeping up with pric…

We have got to make it clear to the fossil fuel industry that their short-term profits are not more important than the future of our planet. Friends - In a major speech I recently expressed my strong opposition to the so-called Manchin "side deal" that the fossil fuel industry is pushing to make…

I'm writing to ask if you can take a few minutes to read my most recent op-ed in the Guardian, and then contribute $2.70 to show you're ready to fight for a government that works for ALL of us.

This is unsustainable. Friends - If we are going to be successful in building the movement we need to transform our country, we need to have the courage to take a hard look at the reality of America today and the power of the ruling class over our economic, political and media life. I hope you’l…

I am writing to discuss the reconciliation bill that was passed by the Senate on Sunday, and to ask you to join me in calling for bold legislation that adequately addresses the needs of the working class of this country. Please add your name to my petition today. Thanks. - B

This was an important step forward, but it is not nearly enough to address the many crises we face in this country. Sisters and Brothers - Let me be honest with you in saying that I have very ambivalent feelings about the reconciliation bill that was passed in the Senate on Sunday, and which I v…

I am writing to ask you to read my most recent op-ed in the Guardian, and then join our efforts to create a government that works for ALL of us, not just large corporations.

We must do this in a way that benefits all of our society, not just a handful of wealthy, profitable and powerful corporations. Dear Friends: If you need another reason as to why the vast majority of Americans are disgusted with the status quo, corporate dominated politics of today, here it is. …

The Democratic Party cannot continue to ignore the needs of the working class of our country and expect to retain majority control in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. Dear Friends - If Democrats are going to have any hope of defending their majorities in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate in this yea…

Yes. The time has come to expand, not cut, Social Security. Add your name if you agree.

I am writing to ask you to add your name to say you support legalizing marijuana. It is time to end the disastrous War on Drugs, and expunge the records of those with marijuana convictions. Please join me in calling for marijuana legalization. Thanks. - B

I think we can all agree that the so-called War on Drugs has been a complete disaster. Sisters and Brothers - We have a criminal justice system today that is not only broken — it is racist and it is unjust. Unbelievably, we have more people in jail than any other country on earth, and we have a…

The Supreme Court's willingness to overturn Roe v. Wade is why we need these women in Congress more than ever.

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…
