John Fetterman, Pennsylvania, Signs Diversity Pledge
Diversity Matters promotes champions dedicated to building a more inclusive pipeline of future elected leaders. Our latest endorsement is John Fetterman for U.S. Senate. Here’s why he’s a Diversity Champion!
What John believes
The minimum wage should be a living wage of at least $15 an hour. All work has dignity, and all paychecks must too.
Health care is a fundamental human right – just like housing, food, and education.
Climate change is an existential threat. We need to transition to clean energy as quickly as possible, and we can create millions of good union jobs in the process.
Weed should be legal, nationwide — for jobs, justice, veterans, farmers, and revenue. It’s time to end the failed war on drugs.
Immigration is what makes America, America. We need a compassionate response to immigration reform that actually treats immigrants like human beings.
Black Lives Matter. John served as mayor of a city that’s more than 80% Black, and has championed the idea that Black lives matter since long before it became a hashtag.
The union way of life is sacred. It’s what built this nation, and it must be protected.
A woman’s right to an abortion is non-negotiable. Women should have control over their own bodies and their own lives. Period.
LGBTQIA+ communities deserve equal protections under the law. John has always stood for equality, and was one of the first elected officials in PA to officiate a same-sex wedding – when it was still illegal.
Get corporate money out of politics. John refuses contributions from corporate PACs, and he signed the “No Fossil Fuel Money” Pledge.
