And how do I know that Senator Sanders will fight to make all of these plans a reality? Because he's been consistently fighting these battles since before I was born.
There is only one Democratic Presidential candidate who consistently opposes disastrous trade deals like NAFTA, fights for healthcare as a human right, stands on the side of our environment rather than with polluters, and unequivocally supports abortion rights, and always has. That person is Senator Bernie Sanders.
Our challenges are not small and our solutions cannot be either. Let's elect him on March 10th so he can fight for us.

He has spoken out against law enforcement targeting of the Arab American and Muslim American communities:"The terror no-fly lists are a racist creation from the 9/11 era that denies due process to Americans and should be reformed. Under our current system, marginalized and vulnerable Americans are more likely to be stopped by the police, subjected to excessive force, arrested and jailed than white Americans. And in the wake of 9/11, Muslims were racially and religiously profiled, spied on and illegally detained. Muslim Americans have been subjected to the government's countering violent extremism (CVE) program, an Islamophobic Muslim ban, unconstitutional terror watchlists and indefinite detention in Guanta'namo. A Bernie Sanders presidency will end these abuses once and for all."
Importantly, Bernie Sanders has stood up for those in our own community. When Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are constantly attacked by Islamophobes and anti-Arab racists, Sanders consistently defends them. When Tlaib and Omar were banned from visiting occupied Palestine last year, Sanders stated, "If Israel doesn't want members of the United States Congress to visit their country" maybe they can respectfully decline billions of dollars."
In 2018, Sanders endorsed Abdul El-Sayed, a serious gubernatorial candidate who inspired hundreds of thousands of Michiganders with his campaign and energy. During this presidential campaign, Palestinian American Sanders' surrogates Amer Zahr and Linda Sarsour have come under massive fire and accusations of anti-Semitism at every turn. Instead of turning his back on them, the Sanders campaign has defended their presence in his movement, declaring, "As he campaigns to become the first Jewish president in American history, there are cynical political operators employing racist and Islamophobic tactics to undermine his campaign. We reject this kind of politics and are not going to play that game."
