Bernie has been a strong supporter of women's rights.
The fact that women earns 78 cents an hour in comparison with men earning 1.00 dollar an hour is from unfair system.
Bernie doesn't feel it's fair.
He wants to promote raising the minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour along with benefits,
such as health insurance that could be more accessible for women.
He is also pro-choice.
He believes women should make their own decisions with their bodies.
Not only that, he supports reproductive rights,
expand programs to be accessible for women's health.
Know that Bernie has recognized women's experiences of oppression with domestic violence service centers?
They struggle with the support they need but can't get easily, making them more stuck in their situation,
contacting different organizations but not being able to get what they need.
Bernie wants to invest more in this type of services so that women may feel more safe.
Maybe you look at Bernie as a typical white old man.
But really, wow, he's been involved in social justice since the 60's.
He supports black rights, LGBT rights, and women's right.
He never changed his stance on equality for different groups.
He is a very honest man.
He gets a lot of financial support from people like us, not corporations.
He is the leader with the type of vision that is important.
