Joe Biden must begin to craft substantive policy for youth voters, or he will lose to President Donald J. Trump this fall. We do not appreciate empty promises of a return to normal or platitudes. We need a bold economic policy, which includes a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, living wages, and College for All. Larry Summers does not cut it and cannot serve as Joe Biden's economic advisor!

Recently, our federal government passed the CARES Act, which provides direct economic relief to some Americans in the form of a one time $1,200 check or direct deposit for individuals, $2,400 for joint filers, and $500 for children. Recipients with direct deposit information on file with the IRS are expected to receive the bailout within two weeks. However, checks could be delayed by as much as 20 weeks.

Everone voting in the PA Primary should watch the debate to get a clear idea on where Joe Biden and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders stand on each issue, including the Coronavirus.

Thanks, Justice Democrats, for endorsing U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders!

Over the next few days, we will highlight each of our newly endorsed candidates. Today we proudly present our first endorsement to John Padora for State Representative, who is running in Pennsylvania’s 37th House District. John is a strong supporter of the Green New Deal and will actively fight against the fossil fuel industry that is putting profit over the health and safety of our families, friends, and planet. "The fossil fuel industry is the definition of a parasite.... They move into our communities, extract our natural resources, exploit our labor, compromise our health, degrade our environment and eco-systems, and then move onto the next community. We must send elected officials to Harrisburg that will challenge this recklessness. The Green New Deal will completely reshape our entire economy and society because we know that incrementalism will not save our planet and preserve our future." - John Padora See more
