"My mother raised 14 kids, with little means, from our humble house in Southwest Detroit - and now he..." — Rashida Tlaib

I really am focused on making sure we're doing everything we can so every single person in our country... has the right to thrive... and live in a just and equitable society.

We cannot have policies that punish people for taking action. Imagine the further harm it would have caused if the federal government banned civil rights leaders from boycotting buses in Montgomery, Alabama, or banning divestment from Apartheid South Africa.

Taking on corporate greed is an environmental concern.

I remember Congressman Conyers voting against the PATRIOT Act, voting against the Iraq War when it was unpopular to. That tremendous amount of courage that comes with that kind of leadership, I mean, that's what we need.
