Looking back over the past the year, I'm so proud of the campaign we've built together.
We've marched to the beat of our own drum, stood up for the most vulnerable Americans, and told the truth at a time when lies seem come easy out of Washington.

From Flint, Michigan to Matamoros, Mexico; from Puerto Rico to California's Central Valley; from prisons to sanctuary churches to homeless encampments; in 2019, this campaign has always put people first, and fought for an America where every single person counts.
We defended the principle that America is a place of refuge for those who need it.
I spoke Oscar and Valeria’s names from the debate stage, and traveled to Mexico to pay my respects to them, and all the migrants who’ve been victims of Trump’s cruelty.

We fought for the idea that food is a human right. In the America we will build together, no one will go hungry.
In 2020, it’s time for Democrats to go further than defending SNAP. We must expand it.

We stood up for America’s values around the world. From Hong Kong to Syria to Venezuela, this campaign has believed in an America that can do good in the world, in defiance of a President who would rather side with tyrants and strongmen.
We fought for not just the middle class, but also the poor and forgotten. We visited farmworkers and put forward the only specific plan to secure justice for for those who help put food on our tables.
We spoke the names of victims of police brutality and violence. We visited prisons. We made clear that police violence is gun violence.
We reminded America that so many never receive a first chance, let alone a second.

In Iowa, we convinced ICE to remove a refugee's ankle-bracelet. We proposed a disability plan that eliminates asset limits on SSI, which would give people with disabilities the marriage equality they deserve. We remain the only campaign with a plan for foster care.
Thanks to your hard work and support this year, this campaign left our politics better than we found it.
There's a lot at stake in the year ahead. But with your hope, passion and perseverance, we can have an even better year in 2020.
Now, on to 2020. There's work to do.
