Let
us wage a moral and political war against the billionaires
and corporate leaders, on Wall Street and elsewhere, whose
policies and greed are destroying the middle class of America.
Let
us wage a moral and political war against the gross wealth
and income inequality in America, the worst in the industrialized
world, which is tearing this country and our economy apart.
Let
us wage a moral and political war against a dysfunctional
health care system and fight for a Medicare-for-all single-payer
system.
Let
us wage a moral and political war against war itself, so
that we can cut military spending and use that money for
human needs.
Finally,
let understand that when we stand together, we will always
win. When men and women stand together for justice, we win.
When black, white and Hispanic people stand together for
justice, we win. When straight and gay people stand together
for justice, we win. When young and old stand together for
justice, we win. When working families stand together, we
win.

"Earth
Day is a day to remember that unless we take bold action
to reverse climate change, our children and grandchildren
are going to look back on this period in history and ask:
'Where were they? Why didn't they listen to the scientists
when they had a chance? Why did they allow this planet to
become so damaged?" We have a short window of opportunity.
We must act now."

Nobody
who works 40 hours a week should be living in poverty.
----
We
have got to make sure that every qualified American in this
country who wants to go to college can go to college --
regardless of income.
