Millions of Americans like Bernie

In 13 days, Iowans will head to their caucuses — choosing a Democratic candidate for president, and giving that person critical early momentum. Bernie is facing attacks because he is surging in the polls. But now is absolutely not the time to let that happen. In 13 days, Iowans will head to…

Building a movement to meet the challenges we face

Our nation is at a crossroads. Folks from coast to coast have no real access to health care. Young people are forced to take on crippling debt just to go to college. Rural Americans face a world where opportunities become fewer and fewer as the years go on. But that’s not the way things hav…

Where we need to be

Can you believe that we’re only two weeks into 2020? Neither can I. Between the Iran crisis, impeachment, and the Iowa caucuses rapidly approaching, our team started the year in a full sprint. We’ve been leveraging our digital capacity to fight for progressive priorities since January 1st. …

Last weekend:

Ahead of tonight’s debate, I want to make one thing very clear: Our nation cannot afford another trillion dollar war in the Middle East, and a Bernie Sanders presidency will stop that from happening. Last weekend, I had the honor of introducing Bernie Sanders to a crowd of Iowans and was abl…

These emails

The past couple of weeks have been incredibly important for Ro. Together, we’ve helped push the needle on ending the forever war, and reasserting Congress’ power over war — and perhaps most importantly, preventing it. The past couple of weeks have been incredibly important for Ro. Together, w…

Momentum

It is welcome news that, at this present moment, we will not be continuing an escalation with Iran. But do not allow that to lull you into a false sense of security. We cannot trust this administration. They lie, they use their power to instigate conflict, and left to their own devices, the…

Hosting events with Bernie and Rashida

There’s only 25 days until the Iowa Caucuses. That’s why the team is going all-in to put Bernie in the best possible spot to win there, and then win the nomination. So I’m headed back to Iowa this weekend, and I’m hosting events with Bernie and Rep. Rashida Tlaib. We’re going to fire up som…

Taking decisive action to stop Trump

Here’s the situation: Just yesterday, I introduced a bill that would defund any offensive action against Iran without Congressional approval. It’s very similar to the amendment that the White House stripped from the NDAA last month. It’s not too late to stop a war with Iran. Over the past fe…

Last month, I fought to include an amendment in the NDAA that would have prevented last night’s events. Congress refused to include it in the final bill.

This is our last chance to send a message, and it is critical that we act now. That’s why I’m introducing a bill alongside Senator Bernie Sanders that will stop Donald Trump’s war. Will you join our call? The war in Iraq, easily the largest foreign policy blunder of modern American history, d…

Everyone can invest in our campaign. And because so many of you do, I get to spend my time in Congress fighting the very interests who wield corporate PACs to keep this rigged economy as it is — working for the wealthy, but not us. In 2019, our average online contribution was just $17.35. W…

Let’s be real for a moment here: corporate PACs don’t support political candidates out of the goodness of their hearts. When Walmart, Amazon, or Goldman Sachs donate money, there are strings attached. They choose candidates who operate a certain way, and then leverage those resources to kee…

2 donations from xxxxxx

Let’s be honest: no one is a big fan of fundraising efforts. Asking people for money online isn’t great — but since Ro takes $0 in corporate PAC money, it’s one of our most important sources of fundraising. It might be harder, but it’s right. Ro doesn’t take any corporate PAC money because …
