To Bad Bill de Blasio:
The Working Families Party is proud to announce our endorsement of Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic primary for president of the United States!
We’re committed to helping Elizabeth win — and to organizing in our communities and online to make sure that the issues that matter to working families remain at the center of this primary campaign. But first we need to know: are you in?
We believe the best way to defeat Donald Trump in 2020 is with a bold vision of a nation that works for the many, not just the few. That's why we're not sitting on the sidelines.
Over the last few months, the Working Families Party engaged in a deliberative process.
We want a future where everyone can thrive, no matter who you are, where you come from, who you love, or how much money is in your pocket. Where we can all be free.
The 20 richest Americans have more wealth than the bottom half of our nation, while a full quarter of our nation’s children live in poverty. We’re the only industrialized nation in the world without universal paid sick days and family leave or guaranteed access to healthcare. Our system of mass incarceration and for-profit prisons jails tens of thousands of young people of color, and deprives them of their vote and their voice. Our cruel immigration system separates families and throws kids in cages.
Elizabeth Warren is one of the smartest, fiercest champions for working families in America today. Her critique of Wall Street and the financial industry helped lay the groundwork for Occupy Wall Street and she was the driving force behind the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Senator Warren has a clear vision of how race, class, and gender intersect, and her working-class background has given her deep insight into the struggles families face every da\6
Are you in?
