Bernie Stands with the Asian American & Pacific Islander
Community
As President, Bernie
Sanders
will:
• Make tuition free at public colleges
and universities
Part of the American dream is to see our children go
to college. This has become too expensive for working people, though.
That's why Bernie Sanders will apply a tax on Wall Street to cover
public colleges' tuition costs. When we are all educated, we are
stronger together.
• Help smalI businesses succeed and
encourage entrepreneurship.
Sanders wants to make sure that small businesses
have access to low-interest loans and other forms of support, so that
they can thrive. At the same time, he will ensure super-rich and large
corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
• Provide universal health care coverage
As of 2014, over 1.9 million Asian Americans, Native
Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders were uninsured. Bernie Sanders wants
to create a Medicare for All system. We believe that having access to
basic healthcare is a human right.
• Implement a fair and humane immigration policy
Bernie's father came to the U.S. from Poland with a
nickel in his pocket. He understands that we are a nation of
immigrants, and will provide relief by expanding the Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and the Deferred Action for
Parents of Americans (DAPA).
• Protect Voting Rights
Will work to make voter registration automatic,
because every single person should be able to realize his or her right
to vote. He opposes voter identification requirements and proof of
citizenship law.
