A growing number of Latinos across Iowa are applauding Sen. Sanders\u2019 bold and consistent record of fighting for the rights of immigrants in the United States:<\/span><\/p>\n

“For over 30 years, we have seen a decline of wages and good paying jobs for working Americans. Bernie Sanders is the only candidate that understands the need to improve our economy by reversing that trend and ensuring a strong middle class. I support his work to move our country forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe Henry, Latino and community activist<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our democratic form of government is in jeopardy because of the obscene influence of money – Bernie Sanders recognizes the danger. The Citizens United Supreme Court decision has cast a deep shadow on American politics, and all issues are clouded by big money. Bernie is the only candidate not beholden to big money entities, and he knows that corporations are not people. He will champion changes so that Government works for the people and not just the billionaires. Bernie is the real deal.”<\/p>

\u201cBernie is the only hope to further immigration reform, and the only honest candidate out there discussing real issues and core values we share as Americans.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cRacial justice is the most important issue to me and so many of my generation right now. Bernie is committed to addressing institutional racism, disenfranchisement, criminal justice reform, mass incarceration, and putting an end to for-profit prisons. Bernie\u2019s vision can help us build an America where there truly is justice for all.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI support Bernie because he supports students and the working class–he is exactly what we need to change this country. Bernie’s campaign, funded by the people, is an opportunity to raise and address the issues that affect the working class and the nation as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n
