A plan to get Americans the pay raise they deserve

Good morning, Today I am proud to announce a new plan that will empower all workers, lift wages, and give workers and employers the tools they need to thrive in our changing economy.  Too many Americans are struggling to keep up with expenses. They are rightfully asking why they’re working so …

We stand on the verge of a new American era

Good evening, Fifty years ago today, Apollo 11 landed, the module hatch opened, and a man first set foot on the moon.    That giant leap for humanity was made possible by an America that set ambitious goals and believed it could achieve them.   When President Kennedy challenged the nation to r…

Seneca Falls

Hi there,    On this day 171 years ago, roughly 300 women and men gathered in Seneca Falls, New York, to declare women every bit the equal of men. It was the first women’s rights convention in American history -- and it changed the course of American history.   Theirs was an audacious act, met…

Investing in Black America with The Douglass Plan

Hello, Black Americans continue to live in the shadow of systemic racism. This is a fact, and one that requires bold action to reverse. To see equity in our time, it will not be enough to simply replace centuries of racism with non-racist policies. We must intentionally put anti-racist policie…

A New Call to Service

Hi there, When I was in Afghanistan, I served alongside people from every conceivable background. People who came from the coasts and the heartland, from cities and from farms—people who held beliefs as diverse as our great nation. Some of us had almost nothing in common except the simple fact…

If you've been waiting, now is the time

Hey there,  At Pete for America, we know that we shouldn't measure success by the total amount of money we raise. Instead, we should measure success by the number of people who invest in our bold vision for the future.  We won't win by being the most well-funded. We'll win by having a network …

Why you don’t hear from me much about fundraising

Hi there, Thank you for being an important part of this campaign.  You don’t hear a lot from me about our fundraising progress, and it will hopefully stay that way. My campaign team keeps me posted on big milestones, and sometimes they give me lists of grassroots donors to call and thank when …

We can't wait

Hey there, The decisions we make in the next three or four years are going to decide how the next 30 or 40 go. We can't wait: we need a new generation of leadership that will deliver climate solutions, racial equality, and an end to endless war. On the debate stage, Pete proved that he's the c…

50 years after Stonewall

Hello,   Fifty years ago, early on a Saturday morning, police came through the door of the Stonewall Inn. That raid gave rise to a resistance, which in turn helped launch the arrival of LGBTQ consciousness in America as we know it.    My candidacy is possible today only because of the hard wor…

Thank you

Hi there, I just wrapped up my first Democratic primary debate, and I hope I made you proud.  I'm running for president because the decisions we make in 2021 are going to decide what America looks like in 2055, when I get to the current age of the current president. And by then, my generation …

Before I take the stage

Hey there, In just a few minutes, I’ll be stepping onto the biggest stage yet to make my case for why America needs generational change.  I’m here today because of the supporters who stepped up and made a donation to the campaign early on, and as I take the stage I’m asking you to invest in my…
