This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This part is called: Guaranteeing Universal Early Childhood Education
Only one party understands that a quality education is a critical public good-NOT a commodity. A quality education is the right of every child, no matter where they live.

I know EXACTLY who needs to hear this, but America's most #Socialist president was #LBJ, not #FDR. No president in US history created more socialist programs for this country, key among them:
#Medicare
#Medicaid
#HeadStart #VotingRightsAct
#CivilRightsAct

#LBJ grew up dirt poor and credited access to public education with his ability to win a congressional seat at 27. His first year in office he DOUBLED the national budget for public education. LBJ also established the plan for the rural hospital system Trump is dismantling.
#LBJ established #NationalPublicRadio in 1967 to make arts and education communication accessible to everyone. He said, "America wants more than a chicken in every pot."
#Africa between the Tropics of Cancer & Capricorn has bn fortunate so far wth confirmed cases of the virus that Zimbabwe's @edmnangagwa complains didn't give notice. But while #COVID19 notice period marinates, what have the continent's rulers done? THREAD

If anything, u cld say West Africa got a bit of a #headstart in pandemic virus management with exposure to the #EbolaVirusDisease, #EVD, 5 yrs ago. Sierra Leone, Guinea-Conakry & #Nigeria were 3 countries in the region that saw #EVD up close. So how have the prepared?
U can choose where u begin but Sierra Leone is as good a place as any: it was epicentre of another virus, Ebola, just 5 yrs ago. While #COVID19 was processing entry visa in China, on 21 Feb, @PresidentBio decided to wed a 2nd time a wife he wedded in 2013

Thread: 56 years ago, LBJ declared #WarOnPoverty to help people our economy leaves behind, & those on whose backs it’s built. Today those programs help millions of children, seniors, people too sick to work & people whose employers don’t pay a decent wage. bit.ly/LBJ_SOU
Those programs are some of the best tools we have for pooling our resources to build an America that works for everyone. Medicare, Medicaid, Head Start and the food stamp program now known as SNAP all got started thanks to Johnson’s declaration.

We all deserve to lead healthy lives. #Medicare and #Medicaid help more than 4 million Ohioans afford healthcare, making up for some—but not nearly all—of the private sector’s failure to meet the needs of the people. bit.ly/PubSecHealthIns
