Bern Down Divisions
Vote for Bernie Sanders 2015- 2016
A little background:
Bernard Sanders was born September 8th, 1941, in Brooklyn New York. During his time in college he was actively involved in several civil rights movement groups. A United States senator from Vermont and self proclaimed Democratic Socialist, now this man is running for president.
Pay Inequality
"The current state of income equality between men and women is unacceptable"
I seek to change this as well as the growing gap between social and economic classes.
Racial Justice
African Americans are twice as likely to be arrested and almost four times as likely to experience the use of force during encounters with the police. "We need a societal transformation to make it clear that Black lives matter and racism cannot be accepted in a civilized country."
Demilitarization of the Police
To deal with the rising police state and injustice towards (but not limited to) primarily African Americans, we must stop giving military grade equipment to local offices as well as equipping all police officers with body cameras.
Like him or not, it cannot be disputed he certainly has the credentials for this occupation and offers a new look at the way we run things in this country. That being said these are changes we need, and this man can make them happen... vote for Bernie!
