Action Corps is a humanitarian advocacy organization that grew out of Oxfam, the international relief and development NGO. As director, I led the organization in tripling the size of its board, developing a three-year budget, acquiring funding and building a network of organizers across the United States. Our organization has held face-to-face meetings with Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders and improved U.S. foreign policy, securing key policy changes. Action Corps' mission is to champion justice in solidarity with people most affected by climate disasters and violent conflict.

In my campaign for U.S. Senate in the Vermont Democratic primary, I said:We need a new voice in Washington because the system is not working for most people. We need a leader who will step out in front of the challenges facing our country and lead—not just when it’s easy, but all the time. As an activist and national leader, taking up the hard fight is what I have always done, and that is exactly what I will do as a U.S. Senator. Here’s some of what I plan to do:Fight the big fights.The climate crisis, violence, racism, and addiction, are real problems. We must protect our communities now while we address the root causes of these threats. Business as usual will not get us there. I've been organizing strategic protests across the country – and winning.Love your neighbor.It's hard for many of our neighbors to save for the future. Let’s create a more fair tax system, expand the Child Tax Credit, protect social security and veterans' benefits, respect the human right to housing and healthcare, and fight for a $15/hour minimum wage – for all.Defend democracy.I led the campaign for student seats on the Vermont State Board of Education and became the first high school student with a vote on that board. We must protect the right to vote for all Americans, hold our leaders accountable, and limit big business' influence.
