6 progressive leaders go to Vegas

Here are their visions for our economy:

The fact that the economy is working only for big corporations and wealthy Republican campaign donors is no accident—it’s the result of a deliberate strategy, decades in the making, and executed relentlessly. Nobody has been more ruthless than Trump.

These progressive leaders are ready to change that.

This past weekend, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, former HUD Secretary Julián Castro, Gov. John Hickenlooper, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren joined us in Las Vegas for a Workers Forum.

They laid out their plans for an economy that works for ALL Americans—not just the rich and powerful few. Check out to what they had to say below:

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)

• Harris slammed the dozens of large corporations who paid nothing in federal taxes last year, laid out her plans to combat increasing income inequality, and explained how she would help working families keep up with the growing cost of living—many of whom cannot afford an unexpected expense of $400.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)

• Klobuchar focused on the need to protect Americans’ rights to a secure retirement, affordable health coverage and medication, and increased wages.

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX)

• O’Rourke blasted the GOP tax scam, talked about the importance of investing in working families, and emphasized the need to address the racial wealth gap and maternal mortality crisis impacting African American women.

Former HUD Secretary Julián Castro (D-TX)

• Along with a commitment to expand Medicare access, Castro focused on the importance of affordable housing and the need for a tax code that rewards work—not wealth.

Governor John Hickenlooper (D-CO)

• Hickenlooper doubled down on a fact that corporations like to ignore: “American democracy will not function without a middle class.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

• Warren tackled many issues facing working families: the vitality of unions, the need to organize and fight back against corporate power, and her plans to make sure our economy works for everyone—not just corporations.
