Brooke Charter School Mattapan 7th grader Emily Ramirez lives for sports and craves competition, but far too often urban middle and high school students like her often don’t have the same opportunities to get on a playing field that their suburban and private school counterparts do.
eight years of the obama administration. if they are very close. martha: the message was not how much we love joe biden. i know you don t like the body lingered, but i understand martha: you re working on a campaign, you re not super excited about that moment. that s all i m saying. that s all i m saying after eight years of service of the vice president. barack obama was his vice president michelle obama was vice president, you have to say the same thing in that situation. that s right. absolutely right. martha: elizabeth warren brought in $19 million with no fund-raisers in q2. i know you think that s a pretty big deal, donna. you know why? because she has so much grassroots support and energy. over the weekend i saw several of the candidates, and i have to say, she was one that struck a chord with the audience along with kamala harris and mayor pete. so i really do believe that she is not only building a really good, strong grassroots
doors with people of money and influence to try to get their help in this election. i come here to be with you. [ applause ] because i believe that our democracy is really on the ropes. we have a country that s working better and better and better for a thinner and thinner slice at the top. in 2020, we have a chance to take that back. we have a chance to build a real grassroots foundation, face to face, person to person, neighborhood to neighborhood. and if you believe that is how we should be running our presidential primary, i ask you be part of this. go to elizabethwarren.com. be part of this. make a contribution, volunteer. we re going to have to build this thing ourselves because democracy is not a machine that
fundamental issue as democrats, and that is what are we going to accomplish in this primary? are we going to say that the way we want to do this, can scoop up the most money and tv ads, that s how we re going to roll this forward, or are we going to use this as an opportunity to build the kind of grassroots foundation that will serve us in the 2020 election when we go into the general. when they roll out all their stuff, what s our secret weapon? the fact that we have built a foundation at the grassroots. it helps you take back the house, the senate, the state houses, the governors mansions. bernie sanders raised $10 million in his first week and you haven t been raising money at that clip. are you worried that there s limited there are limited dollars out there and that i expect it s going to take $100 million to $150 million to get through the first four primaries and the california primary.
