Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Change isn’t up to the cynics. It’s up to us. NEW YORK: it’s time to VOTE in the June 25th primaries. This is where we can make the BIGGEST differences in our politics. . This is where we decide not just about voting for Dems or Republicans, but WHO and WHICH Dems win. This is the month to support those candidates who have risked it all, from New York to St. Louis, for courageous stances against all odds, from the human rights of Palestinians to Medicare for All. So VOTE for a ceasefire. VOTE for guaranteed healthcare. VOTE for representation that rejects big money and corporate lobbyists. Because every action, small to large, matters. WE matter. YOU matter. Let’s do this. The time is now. 🗳️

Thank you to the record-breaking 86,847 people who joined the Fighting Oligarchy tour this weekend alone and to the millions who watched online. This moment is special. People are standing up, fighting back, and ready to organize. . I truly don’t do these kinds of posts here often (almost never), but the crush of requests to visit many more places across the country requires a lot more resources to take this show on the road! . As many of you know, I do not take a dime in corporate money or from industry lobbyists. Bernie and I have been able to do ALL of this with small dollar and individual donations from everyday people. And believe it or not, that’s actually a lot rarer in our politics than you might think. . Anyways - if you’d consider helping us out with a donation to keep us on the road, it’d mean a lot! Our end of quarter deadline is coming up soon. Link in bio. . And if not, no worries! My wish is that this tour and effort has been fruitful for the communities involved and a source of hope to you all - it certainly has been for me. . Thank you thank you thank you, Alexandria ✌🏽

I can tell you, I don’t believe in health care for all, labor rights, and human dignity because I’m some kind of extremist — I believe these things because I was a waitress.

Full remarks: I am here to remind you of a simple fact. In spite of what Trump wants you to believe, we are not powerless in this moment. I've been on the road with @berniesanders these last few days. Here's what I had to say in Tempe.

Timeline cleanse 🌞 from Tucson, Arizona

When we talk about budgets, we aren’t just talking about numbers. We’re talking about the values that define us as Americans. And the fact is, every single House Republican voted to cut Medicaid by $880 BILLION. What kind of values are those?

This is how we fight back. Block by block. Neighbor to neighbor, cutting through the division sown by the ruling class. More than 34,000 people came together yesterday in Denver with @aoc and @berniesanders and affirmed that in spite of Trump and Musk’s wishes, we are not powerless in this moment. We are willing to fight for someone we don’t know. And we will be brawlers for the working class.

Something special is happening. . An unbelievable *34,000* people flooded downtown Denver tonight to join @berniesanders and I to #FightTheOligarchy. . Tonight was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama 2008. It was the largest rally of Bernie’s career. And it was even bigger than the 2024 DNC. . Everyday people are coming together to defend democracy, fight for one another, and build a better future for ALL. . Thank you Colorado! We love you, we can do this, and we will win!
