Issues

Barbara understands our struggles because she’s lived them. They have made Barbara who she is and shaped her career as one of Congress’s most outspoken champions of justice and advocates for the underserved.

Climate Action

We must demand environmental justice for everyone. That’s why combating climate change and ensuring opportunities for neglected communities in this fight has been so central to my work as a legislator and an activist.

Health Care for All

Health care is a human right, not a privilege. The United States must do what’s right and follow the lead of every other advanced industrial nation in guaranteeing health care for every American.

Reproductive Freedom

Let’s be clear: abortion is healthcare, and it should be a constitutional right.

Global Peace & Security

My career has been defined by a record of foreign policy advocacy that centers on development, diplomacy, and human rights.

Economic Justice

I have spent my career fighting for an economy that works for everyone — working people, people of color — not just the wealthy few.

Education

Education is the key for pathways out of poverty and pathways into the middle class.

Affordable Housing & Homelessness
