Danielle, throughout my time in Washington, I've learned that when you start talking about policies that help working people instead of wealthy people or big corporations, plenty of critics will be quick to tell you what you can't do and what's not possible. It's like clockwork.
Take student loan cancelation for example. Cynics said we could never put our government on the side of working-class and middle-class people and get something like that accomplished. But we got organized, we got in the fight, and we got this policy to the president's desk.
I'll stay in the fight to get student debt cancelation over the finish line. Because that's a case where we still see how the rules work differently for different groups of people: Right now we have a system that holds millions of struggling student loan borrowers in limbo, but that same system worked overnight to ensure that big banks and billion-dollar crypto firms wouldn't lose a dime in deposits during recent bank failures.
The difference between these two scenarios? The willingness to fight for them.
I'm running for re-election to continue to use my voice to advocate for big, structural changes that help working people. Changes like canceling student debt, taxing the rich, reining in big banks, and making child care affordable.
But I need you by my side in this fight.
A contribution of $15 or anything you can will power my re-election campaign and help show the naysayers that these plans have strong support in California and across the country. Will you please pitch in today to support my re-election and make these plans possible?
The amount of grassroots contributions we receive will help demonstrate the strength of our movement — and any amount makes a powerful difference.
