The Arab American News endorses Sanders.
Presidents serve for four years, but this presidential election will likely shape the future of the United States for generations to come.
Your vote on Tuesday, March 8, will help draw Washington's policies on critical issues for the near and remote future — a Supreme Court nomination; the United States’ role in the Middle East; the approach to the global refugee crisis; the fate of millions of undocumented immigrants and environmental guidelines that could affect our very existence on this planet.
On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is facing an unlikely challenge from Senator Bernie Sanders.
The Arab American News endorses Sanders.
With the senator from Vermont, we have a historic opportunity to elect a principled politician who has remained true to his message from the days he was protesting with the civil rights movement to the day he proclaimed himself a democratic socialist on national television while running for president.
Sanders, 74, has served as a U.S. representative from 1991 to 2007. He has since been representing Vermont in the Senate.
Before being elected to Congress, Sanders served for eight years as the mayor of Burlington, Vermont. He taught political science briefly at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
In his early years, he was a social justice activist.
Washington did not sway Sanders away from his ideals. In the House and the Senate, Sanders introduced and supported countless pieces of legislation to regulate Wall Street and protect the environment from predatory corporate greed.
Most Arab Americans are hardworking, middle class families. The concentration of wealth in the top 1 percent of the nation’s richest people impacts this community directly. Sanders' tax reforms and promised social programs would level the playing field for Americans to realize the American Dream.
Sanders stands for racial justice and has unequivocally condemned Islamophobia.
