I think we're at a really unique moment right now because the American people are waking up to the fact that it is a race to the bottom between these two corporate parties that are sending jobs overseas, putting downward pressure on wages, starving people out of healthcare, locking an entire generation into unpayable predatory student loan debt.

We must challenge to fight at every level, including Congress and to make that challenge political and to organize as a political party is how we get traction.

Right now we have a $600-billion or so Defense Department budget, but when you add in, for example, a trillion-dollar nuclear weapons program over the next decade or two, it adds significantly to it. So it's somewhere around $600 billion. We call for approximately cutting that in half and instead putting those dollars into true security here at home.

Remember Donald Trump had about $4 billion worth of free media, and Hillary Clinton has had about $2 billion, and we've had zero. I think it remarkable that we are standing where we are.

We deserve elections we can trust.

It is so much fun to be out there on the campaign trail with Ajamu Baraka because who comes out is totally different from anything I have seen before in progressive campaigns because he is so empowering and inspiring.

If people fear that they have to choose between their job or fixing the climate, they will always protect their job. Because that's how they live to see tomorrow.
