“We need to rebuild our nation with a new foundation. A foundation rooted in love, and care, and equality. Where justice is truly real for all of us, regardless of race, class, gender, orientation, or religion. I fully believe we can.”

“We will continue our work to uphold the values within our families, communities, and institutions that our service members have fought to protect: equality, justice, opportunity, freedom, and a shared responsibility to each other.”

“Ending the school-to-prison pipeline is not a small task and requires detangling the myth of white superiority from our entire education system.”

“Whoever becomes Education Secretary has to have a love and passion for public schools. Not charter schools, not vouchers, but public schools.”

“Our schools, like so many parts of our infrastructure, are crumbling across the country. Healing our schools can and should be central to our fight to achieve environmental, racial and economic justice.”
