It was nice to see a major union show support for Bernie.

He hit the bit issues of student loan debt and unaffordable tuition.

And Bernie comes on at 7:19

His voice is hoarse, but he is delivering a firey message about helping all Americans.

Big cheers for black lives matters, paying women the same as men, and protecting reproductive rights of women.

More big cheers for restoring voting rights act and fighting voter suppression.

And lots of cheers for fighting big money interests and income inequality and investing in infrastructure for all

Liked this:
"These people denying people the right to vote are political cowards and they need to get a new job"

"We are going to end institutional racism and radically transform the criminal justice system"

He's calling out racist hate groups and the racism that killed Walter Scott, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner and several others. "Dying by the hands of police must change"

"Police officers who break the law must be prosecuted and held accountable"


"Don't think small. Think big."
"Equality for all"
