The intersecting crises which we face demand a Green New Deal to create jobs, deliver justice, and save our planet. Thank you @AOC , the @sunrisemvmt , and all of our partners organizing in Congress, online, and in the streets for a just and livable future.

Bernie’s lifelong commitment to progressive values provides invaluable leadership in the United States Senate. From Medicare for All to the Green New Deal, I am lucky to be his partner in the tough fights to secure a better world. Let’s keep fighting.

Let me thank the people of Vermont, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the opportunity to serve them in the United States Senate. It has been the honor of my life. Today, I am announcing my intention to seek another term. Here is why:

Our climate movement is apparently the only thing Big Oil is more obsessed with than counting their profits.

Abortion is health care and health care is a human right. Republicans and Trump won't stop until they achieve an outright ban. This egregious news from Florida is just the latest attempt. Take note, GOP—abortion is on the ballot this November.

Congratulations to all the MassMoCa UAW Local 2110 workers whose efforts have led to a settled contract with higher wages and better working conditions. This is the power of union organizing, and I am proud to support it.

Health care workers are essential. I am with these brave workers who organized for their rights with AFSCME Council 93. We’re facing a health care crisis—union workers power the solution.

I spent years rallying for a climate corps that would train thousands of young people in the work we need to build a livable future. That vision is now a reality, and applications to join the American Climate Corps open next month. Let's get to work.

Good. I applaud @MassGovernor 's important action. For too long, the war on drugs has harmed our communities. It's past time we expunge the records and legalize marijuana across the country.

#NOW : @maura_healey is taking executive action to pardon misdemeanor marijuana possession convictions. “Let’s do the right thing now,” Healy added. If approved by Governor’s Council, most won’t have to take any action to clear their record. @boston25

While Florida's classrooms can once again discuss the LGBTQ+ community, the devastating effect of anti-LGBTQ+ laws has already been felt across the country. Hate crimes on K-12 campuses have quadrupled in states with these laws. This is unacceptable. We must protect LGBTQ+ kids.

School hate crimes targeting LGBTQ+ people have sharply risen in recent years, climbing fastest in states that have passed laws restricting LGBTQ student rights and education, a Washington Post analysis of FBI data finds.

Yesterday, @POTUS joined us in calling for Congress to fund the American Climate Corps. Boosting funding would let the program employ an additional 50,000 people per year. That's the scale of action needed to create good jobs for our generation & stop the climate crisis.

The work of the Senate and our democracy wouldn’t happen without congressional staffers, and I am proud to recognize their contributions and the effort of my staff to unionize.
