Being an American is about being courageous.
This opposition that we’ve seen – all these billionaires that think they can buy our democracy — all they do is tell people who to be afraid of.
They’re scared of people coming with nothing but the shirt on their back and trying to start their American Dream.
They’re scared of women who own their body and tell them, “No.”
They’re scared of gay people, lesbians, and trans people. They’re scared of New York City and “childless cat ladies.” They’re chickensh*t.
To me, being an American is about being courageous.
When you ask people for the privilege of taking a role in leading this country, you have to stand up courageously and demand a better world for all people.
You have to have the courage to say no to Wall Street and lobbyists and everyone trying to buy our government.
You have to have courage to know that an inclusive America is a better America for everybody.
While they run around and try to make everybody else as scared as they are, what we must do is say: We have nothing to fear.
There is nothing to fear in moving forward into a better future.
Thank you for standing with us,
