Mercedes is getting nervous. It understands that union workers make better wages and benefits than non-union workers. That's why Mercedes is engaged in a union busting campaign in Alabama despite claiming to be "neutral." That’s why Mercedes workers need a union.

Corrupt real estate developers are gentrifying neighborhoods and forcing working families out of the homes and apartments, only to replace them with fancy condominiums and hotels that only the very rich can afford. We need affordable housing for all.

No job is more important and more difficult than teaching our nation’s children. And yet, the starting pay for teachers in almost 40% of our school districts is less than $40K annually. Let me be clear: No public school teacher in America should make less than $60K a year.

In California and across the country, we are in the midst of a massive housing crisis. Landlords should not be allowed to raise rents to whatever they want, whenever they want. I am proud to support Californians in their fight for rent control. #Yeson21

Last year, Mercedes made $15.6 billion in profits, spent $8.1 billion on stock buybacks & dividends & gave its CEO an 80% raise. It would take 2 years for a Mercedes worker in Alabama to earn what a Mercedes executive makes in 1 week. That's why they're voting to form a union.

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:

The fossil fuel industry isn't in the business of providing energy. They're in the business of making as much money as they can. And in the process if they destroy our planet, so what? It's time to hold them accountable.

In 1962, we organized sit-ins to end racist policies at the University of Chicago. In '63, I was arrested protesting segregated schools. But we were right. I’m proud to see students protesting the war in Gaza. Stay peaceful and focused. You’re on the right side of history.

Without protests, we would still live in a segregated country. Without protests, women would still be second class citizens. Without protests, the LGBTQ+ community would still be hiding their identities.

The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice.

It is outrageous that while Dartmouth has an endowment of $7.9 billion, their graduate workers are struggling to get by. I stand in solidarity with 800 workers of @GOLDartmouth striking for a living wage and decent benefits.

Some of us have been out of school for a while and may have forgotten our American history. Protesting injustice and expressing our opinions is part of our American tradition and what makes this, in fact, a free country. That’s what the Constitution is all about.

This May Day, the trade union movement is the strongest it has been in decades. From auto workers in the South & Midwest, to baristas at Starbucks, to nurses at large hospitals, workers are sick of corporate greed & winning union elections & record contracts. The tide is turning.

In 2 weeks, Mercedes workers in Alabama will be voting to join the UAW. Today, I'm calling on Mercedes to end the union busting, stop sending anti-union texts to workers, and ensure that all workers will be able to vote to join a union free from fear, intimidation, and coercion.

We must condemn any form of antisemitism. But let us be clear: The American people are sick and tired of funding a war machine for an extremist government in Israel that is doing unprecedented harm to the people in Gaza and to their entire way of life.

Let me congratulate the Daimler Truck UAW workers in NC, TN & GA for winning an historic contract to increase compensation and end wage tiers. When workers have a strong union and stand together, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.
