Politics is about the improvement of people's lives. It's about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and the world. Politics is about doing well for the people.

The people of this country, not special interest big money, should be the source of all political power.

The best kind of politics is when you help people become their own best selves.

We must renew democracy itself. We have to fight cynicism and inertia and restore faith in the advancement of our country.

We must regain our vision and hope and move our country forward on an agenda of peace and justice.

Successful organizing is based on the recognition that people get organized because they, too, have a vision.

We all do better, when we all do better.
