"#OcasioCortez emphasized that #Sanders’ #progressivemovement is about #classsolidarity.

“Hate is a trap that sticks us all, and standing together without exception to reject division — that is the only way we can win,” she said. “It’s the only way we can win. So I hope you see that this movement is not about partisan labels or purity tests, but it’s about class solidarity. It is about the thousands of you who came out here today to stand together and say, ‘Our lives deserve dignity and our work deserves respect, no matter who we are.’”

> In the grand scheme of things what most of us think of as the modern progressive movement is quite young. Black Lives Matter began in 2013 – that was 11 years ago and we got some significant wins from it. Yes, the moral arc of the universe is long family. We must build a durable and expansive movement. Durable means we have to be able to withstand pressure or damage and be long lasting.
