Some hills I am willing to die for

-Marriage equality and adding glbtq citizens to the landmark civil rights legislation of the 60s including freedom from not being discriminated against in the workplace, housing and accommodations

-Providing a path to citizenship for all undocumented workers and their families

-Access to health care independent of ability to pay.

-A livable wage

-Paid leave

-Criminal justice reform

-reproductive rights

Stopping a trade agreement that I haven't seen isn't a hill I would die for.
