Seeking asylum in this country is a statutory right, not a crime. All 4 of my grandparents came through Ellis Island escaping persecution. The demonization of the immigrant and the cruel tightening of our immigration laws under the current administration is an assault on us all

My father was an immigration lawyer. I grew up with a visceral understanding that the immigrant contributes as much to this country as this country contributes to the immigrant. Before 1973 all an undocumented person needed to do was to walk down to the registry office & register

Public policy should be guided by ethics. Public policy guided by a soulless, amoral finger of unfettered short-term corporate profit maximization has eroded our democracy and led to untold, unnecessary human suffering. It’s time for the people to step in. marianne2020.com/issues

It was a pleasure speaking at Yale last week... Speaking at the Claremont colleges this week… I love reminding people who were hardly even born in the 20th C that there’s no reason for them to live at the effect of bad ideas left over from that time . youtube.com/XogJGvpUFws

Every generation has to discover its own passion for democracy. It can’t be bequeathed. It has to be claimed and reclaimed.

The late Supreme Court justice Lewis Brandeis said we could have large amounts of money concentrated in the hands of a few, or we could have democracy – that we cannot have both. Ending the travesty of trickle down economics will return our economy to justice, hope & opportunity.

For 40 years - through tax cuts, subsidies, deregulation & outright giveaways - we’ve made a massive transfer of wealth into hands of 1%, who now own more wealth than the bottom 90%. And no, they’re not the only “job creators.” Small businesses create only a small # of fewer jobs

I’m not running for president thinking I’d be “better at it” than someone else; I’m running to offer a particular vision of where we are & an agenda for where I believe America should go now. It’s totally up to the voters to decide whether they choose that agenda for the country.

The philosophy of nonviolence, created by Gandhi for Indian Independence movement & MLKJr. in struggle for US civil rights, says purifying our hearts is a necessary part of purifying society; “the end is inherent in the means.” Hating the haters limits our power to cast out hate.

For those of you who saw Democratic candidates speaking from Iowa yesterday at the “Liberty and Justice for All” event, just know that it cost $160,000 to be on the stage.

So many things scare us until we remember who we are. But once we do remember, the things that scare us begin to recede...

Teaching children to associate a heartless act with fun and games is something that should never happen, least of all in a government facility in the United States. We must reject this kind of thing passionately and unequivocally.
A Halloween party at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building featured a station where children were encouraged to help 'Build the Wall'.
"Horrified. We were horrified," said a person who was there & requested anonymity to avoid professional retaliation. news.yahoo.com/children-were…

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable,” said JFK. Only a peaceful revolution will overthrow the authoritarian corporatism that’s become such a soulless political force in our midst. The contemporary patriot is a peaceful revolutionary.

We need a political coalition made of humanitarians, seekers, artists, healers, religiously & spiritually devoted, scientists, teachers and all lovers of conscience. Political disengagement among too much of America’s best has left us in the thrall of too much of America’s worst.

For every hater, there are innumerable lovers. For every bigot there are innumerable lovers. For every racist there are innumerable lovers. For every anti-Semite there are innumerable lovers. For every homophobe, there are innumerable lovers. The lovers just need to get busy now.
