Rent is too high, homeownership is out of reach for millions, and Wall Street landlords are buying up housing stock and squeezing renters to enrich themselves. Florida is getting hit the hardest, and is now the worst state in the country for renters.source
The United States is the richest country on earth but doesn’t guarantee healthcare to all its people. Americans pay more for worse outcomes than anywhere else in the developed world. That’s not a healthcare system, it’s a protection racket for insurance and drug companies.source
Child care in America costs more than college tuition in most states. As a mom of 5, Angie knows this struggle deeply because she is experiencing it.source
The climate crisis is an existential threat, and the fossil fuel industry has spent decades lying about it while cashing in. Angie rejects the false choice between good jobs and a livable planet.source
As a nation, we have a moral obligation to provide the best quality care to those who put their lives on the line. Every war is sold to the American people with speeches about strength and freedom, and every war is paid for, long after the cameras leave, by the people who fought it.source
