Dear fellow MoveOn member, The best shot we’ve got at saving our broken health care system is to expand Medicare for all Americans. But first, we have to make something very clear: Medicare critics are wrong. They say that Medicare is a problem. In fact,Medicare is more efficient than private health insurance. It’s the solution. […]
Dear fellow MoveOn member, There is nothing just about our criminal justice system. It’s racist and destructive. It’s not making us safer. And it’s a disaster for our economy. Please watch End Mass Incarceration now to see what we can and must do. End Mass Incarceration is the latest in the “Big Picture” series I’m […]
Dear fellow MoveOn member, Here’s a big-picture idea: instead of investing in dirty fuels, let’s start charging polluters for poisoning our skies and then invest the revenue so that it benefits everyone. Every ton of carbon that’s released into the atmosphere costs our nation between $40 and $100, and we release millions tons of it […]

Most Americans believe it’s time to end corporate welfare. If you agree, I need you to watch and share this video right now. No more handouts for Big Oil, no more […]
Dear fellow MoveOn member, Elementary school students waking at 2 a.m. with nightmares about high-stakes tests. Middle schoolers stuck in crowded classrooms in underfunded schools. College grads whose reward for surviving it all is a lifetime of debt. Our broken education system is squashing passion for learning, eroding the love of teaching, and grinding up […]
Dear fellow MoveOn member, There is only one way to truly tame Wall Street, so that everyday Americans like you and me don’t end up losing our jobs or our savings or our homes. You won’t see this solution on mainstream TV. Please watch and share it now. This is the fourth idea in our […]
Dear fellow MoveOn member, Flat wages and the end of pensions have left millions of Americans facing a retirement crisis. Already, nearly half of our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents would live in poverty if it weren’t for Social Security. There is a simple solution, and it starts with defending Social Security from the right […]
