How are we all going to pitch in to fix this party to make working America know that the Democratic party is absolutely on their side? That's the real question.
From Keith Ellison
The truth is that we have got to make America work for working people again.
I'm going to be fighting to rebuild the Democratic party no matter what. I'm going to be fighting to make sure the Democratic party is known among working people that we are their champion no matter what.
Americans deserve journalists who provide responsible, objective reporting.
For Ben Carson, Donald Trump, or any other Republican politician to suggest that someone of any faith is unfit for office is out of touch with who we are as a people.
There's nothing wrong with any group of Americans using our democratic system in order to advance their policy views.
My mom, Clida, taught my four brothers and me about her father's work to organize black voters in rural Louisiana in the 1950s. We carried her dad's legacy of activism with us. The Civil Rights Movement was present in the daily life of my family in Detroit in the 1970s.
I'll never forget working to get my college, Wayne State University, to divest from the government in South Africa. This was the beginning of my activism, and the fight for social and economic justice has been a constant thread in my life.
My values - going back to my childhood - were always based on respect for all people and rejection of bigotry and racism.
Throughout my work as a state legislator and member of Congress since 2002, I have worked as hard as I could to build bridges. I've worked to combat anti-Semitism and confront Holocaust denial. I've organized dozens of meetings to promote interfaith dialogue and joint projects.
