Let me briefly tell you what I am trying to do as the new Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP)

Sisters and Brothers - I fully appreciate that the number of crises facing our country and the world now can seem overwhelming. Frankly, there is a reason as to why we are now experiencing a major mental health crisis. The anxieties and fears that people feel are real. The UN has told us that …

Silicon Valley Bank

Sisters and Brothers - In America today, if you're a wealthy vulture capitalist with over $250,000 in uninsured deposits at a loosely-regulated bank, the federal government will guarantee that your money is safe in a weekend. If you’re a struggling working person with no health insurance and …

Sign my petition – it's time to pass the PRO Act to protect every worker's right to form a union

Sisters and Brothers - In America today, people are sick and tired of the unprecedented corporate greed and illegal union busting that is taking place throughout this country. They are sick and tired of the massive levels of income and wealth inequality, and the fact that CEOs of large corpora…

Thought you might like to see this: Bernie Sanders is right about capitalism

Friends - CNN recently released an op-ed called "Bernie Sanders is right about capitalism" and we wanted to share an excerpt of it with you today. In the richest country in the history of the world we need strong policies to ensure that every man, woman and child has a decent standard of livin…

If you are as angry as I am about the greed of the pharmaceutical industry, then I am asking you to contribute $2.70 to show that together we are going to take them on and lower the price of prescription drugs. This is important.

Friends - When we talk about corporate greed in this country, there is perhaps no better example than the greed of the pharmaceutical industry exhibited by the outrageously high prices that Americans pay for prescription drugs. In America today, millions of people are making the unacceptable c…

Sign my petition to support the Pay Teachers Act to raise starting pay for all teachers to at least $60,000 a year.

Friends - Earlier this week I held a town hall meeting to discuss the teacher pay crisis in America, what's going on with education today, and what teaching has been like during the pandemic. I was joined by Becky Pringle, the president of the National Education Association, Randi Weingarten, t…

This is a disgraceful day for the House.

Ilhan Omar is a leader with strength and courage, and a critical voice in our fight for justice. Friends - Earlier today, every Republican in the House of Representatives voted to remove Ilhan Omar — a third-term Muslim American woman — from the Foreign Affairs Committee. This is a disgraceful d…

I am writing to ask you to contribute $2.70 to help continue our work rallying the American people on the issues that will help create a government that works for all of us, not just the one percent. This is important. Thanks. -B

Friends - First and foremost, I want to thank you for the support you gave me during my presidential campaign. It not only allowed us to run the strongest progressive presidential campaign in modern history, but it revolutionized the way campaigns in this country are funded. It showed the world…

Sign my petition – tell the Democratic Party that it's time to ban super PAC spending in primaries

If Democrats really believe in democracy and campaign finance reform, we must ban super PACs in primaries. Friends - For many years, our country has been moving in the direction of an oligarchic form of government in which a small group of wealthy individuals control our economic and political …

Enclosed: My Fox News op-ed on the greed of the pharmaceutical companies

Friends - The National Institute of Health (NIH) is responsible for the development of many important drugs. Yet, despite that taxpayer support, the major drug companies make billions as they charge us the highest prices in the world for their products. Enough is enough. We must hold the pharma…

The State of the Working Class in America

Friends - Last night, I gave an important speech about the state of the working class in America, an issue which gets far too little discussion in Congress or the corporate media. I’ve shared the full remarks below, or you can watch them using this link. I look forward to continuing the convers…

No. Moderna should not raise the price of its COVID vaccine to $130. Add your name if you agree.

Friends - As I’m sure you’re aware, corporate greed is out of control. The oil companies have made huge profits by raising gas prices. The food industry has made billions by increasing the price of the groceries that we purchase. Wall Street and the big banks are making enormous profits on fina…

I'm writing to share my recent op-ed in the Guardian, and to ask you to contribute toward our movement's efforts to fight for an agenda that works for all of our people, and not just the 1%

Friends - Congress must, finally, have the courage to take on the greedy and powerful special interests who dominate our economic and political life. In other words, together, we need to fight for an agenda that works for all, and not just the 1%. That’s what I discuss in this op-ed recently pu…

I am writing to ask you to add your name to call on the Supreme Court to uphold student debt forgiveness. This is important.

Friends - Today in America, we have an entire generation of people burdened with nearly $1.8 trillion of student debt that leaves them less likely to own a home, start a family or a business, and with lower wages and more debt than generations before them. At the same time, hundreds of thousan…

Our support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen is one of the great moral stains on our nation. Friends - Our support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen is one of the great moral stains on our nation. It is a war that most Americans know little about, and one that Congress never voted to authorize. It …

This is a long email about the state of journalism in America today, and the urgent need to rebuild and protect it.

Quality journalism is not possible when media workers are unable to earn a living wage, and when corporations prioritize profit above all else. Friends - Today in America, after decades of consolidation and deregulation, some eight multi-national media companies control almost all the news you w…

The struggle for justice for rail workers is not over.
