This week was an important week for the future of our country. We traveled to Berryville, Virginia to unveil A Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Wages and a Better Future. Democrats stood in solidarity with America’s transgender service members, celebrated the 52nd anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid. And near the end of the week, I met the organizers of the Brides’ March, a group of New York Latinas who are fighting against domestic violence.
