I got to spend last Monday with @AdyBarkan as he prepared to testify at the first-ever congressional hearing on Medicare for All. Our video gives just a glimpse at how inspirational and heroic this man is. https://t.co/rlCOeSSjXX

@payourinterns fights for unpaid interns in the public and private sector. Post COVID-19, they created the Intern Relief Fund to support interns in need with direct cash assistance. You can donate here: https://t.co/1aDRvr9axz]

cause they're not actually living on $8.25/hr. parents are paying rent, covering groceries, etc. then they grow up to lobby for corporations bent on keeping the minimum wage a starvation wage. the circle of life :)
Bruh..... Why TF would you intern or work for someone who pays 8.25 /hr? You literally can't live anywhere at that rate.

Mondaire first came to our studio in Dec. 2019 (literally a different world ago). He had no national endorsements and very little press. But @nowthisnews saw something in him, gave him a spotlight with this video, and now he's heading to Congress 🎉🎉🎉 https://t.co/AMVUXN9hhJ

If the Bowman numbers hold, there won't be a straight white man representing any part of New York in the House from Oneonta to Central Park. Delgado, Maloney, Jones, Bowman, Torres, AOC, Espaillat.
