A movement that seeks to advance only its own members is going to accomplish little

I recently heard young people talking about collective bargaining agreements - I hadn't heard young people use that phrase in forever!

Even today every year we lose an awful lot of young people, teenagers, who take their own lives because they're - they are gay or transgender.

The joy with which we denigrate each others' efforts, I hate that.

There are places in America that have not just protected middle-class neighborhoods but reduced homelessness. Even places like Houston have been able to reduce homelessness among veterans. It's a pretty shameful situation.

People who say that violence doesn't accomplish anything have not read history. I don't celebrate that reality, but there you have it.

Most of the young people I know are working so hard, 60 or 70 hours a week. They have no time for recreation or love affairs; it's just work and struggle. I want them to endure, and find that strength and be able to continue.
