When progressives fight for working Americans they can win

But the experts were also very wrong. We fought back and we won. We won—and that’s what I want to talk about today. We won because you and a zillion other people across this country got in the fight. We won because you got out there. You broke news. You wrote opinion pieces. You organized petitions. You built coalitions. You kept that idea alive. You called out sleazy lobbyists and cowardly politicians. You said we—we the people—will have this agency and you are the ones who won. You won this fight.

-Sen. Elizabeth Warren

Get behind Hillary and help Bernie draft his planks in the platform. Liz is really who is needed to unite the party.
