Workers' wages are not keeping up with inflation. Their wages are not on pace with the amount of work that they do. We work harder and longer in America and still people's wages are not keeping up with that.

If a mother or a caregiver does not have a job that pays a living wage and they cannot afford child care, that is unacceptable.

When you have mega-corporations that have record profits, but they don't want to share even a little bit of that with their workers, we are actually putting our communities at peril.

My role is to remind people that everyday people can make a difference. And if we get people out there doing things to make America a better place, we can bring change.

I think the political class, just overall, has underestimated the suffering in America.

We have an obligation to each other to not only push our politicians, but to push companies to do right by their workers. They wouldn't even have successful companies without their workers. They are the glue that keeps things together. How, in the 21st century, we have mega-corporations that have lost sight of that boggles my mind.

When you win, you can afford to be gracious, you can afford to have a little more mercy.
