Everybody in the working class is important, whether you’re black or white and that’s what I want them to feel and know from Our Revolution. Nina Turner Read Quote
Does being practical mean we prop up a legal system that’s unfair, that bears its weight down on black men and black women, and by extension if you are Hispanic or indigenous or poor? Does being practical mean you don’t say to the American people you deserve better than you’re getting? That’s not the practical we want. Nina Turner Read Quote
Women are outfundraised. Why? Because men have been doing it a lot longer. And, so not only do they have entry into the money, they have connections that a lot of women don’t. Women are a lot older most of the times when they run for office because of the stigma. Nina Turner Read Quote
The men in our lives, including members of the General Assembly, generously devote time to fundamental female reproductive issues. The least we can do is return the favor. Nina Turner Read Quote
If a mother or a caregiver does not have a job that pays a living wage and they cannot afford child care, that is unacceptable.

I don’t want our white working class sisters and brothers to feel as though their pain is not important because it is. But at the same time, I want my white sisters and brothers to understand that when we talk about income and wealth inequality, that disproportionately African Americans suffer a little more. Nina Turner Read Quote
We have an obligation to each other to not only push our politicians but to push companies to do right by their workers. Nina Turner Read Quote
