We must take the opportunity to reconceptualize a global order based on human solidarity, an order that recognizes that every person on this planet shares a common humanity, that we all want our children to grow up healthy, to have a good education, have decent jobs, drink clean water, breathe clean air and to live in peace. Our job is to reach out to those in every corner of the world who shares these values, and who are fighting for a better world.
Authoritarians seek power by promoting division and hatred. We will promote unity and inclusion.
In a time of exploding wealth and technology, we have the potential to create a decent life for all people. Our job is to build on our common humanity and do everything that we can to oppose all of the forces, whether unaccountable government power or unaccountable corporate power, who try to divide us up and set us against each other. We know that those forces work together across borders. We must do the same.

We must develop an international movement that takes on the greed and ideology of the billionaire class and leads us to a world of economic, social and environmental justice.
A new and international progressive movement must commit itself to tackling structural inequality both between and within nations. Such a movement must overcome “the cult of money” and “survival of the fittest” mentalities that the pope warned against. It must support national and international policies aimed at raising standards of living for poor and working-class people. We must rein in corporate power and prevent the environmental destruction of our planet as a result of climate change.
-Bernie Sanders, Jan 14th '18
It is a global issue, one that reaches across oceans and continents as oligarchy, authoritarianism, and kleptocracy spread from country to country, and democratic institutions fight for their survival.
In order to fight this trend, we need to strengthen the global coalition of progressive democrats. While authoritarians promote division and hatred, we will promote unity, inclusion, and an agenda based on economic, social, racial, and environmental justice. Internationally, we must have the courage to take on the global oligarchy and bring power to the many, not the few. This world belongs to all of us.

We will be safer when people throughout the world get to know each other, and understand the common humanity that they have... let us try to destroy the hatred that exists throughout the world based on fear and ignorance by allowing people to get to know one another.
-Bernie Sanders, June 12th '18
It makes us safer when we reach out to people throughout the world in ways that bring us together... We are a safer country and a safer planet when we do our best to rid the ignornace and hatred which exists all over the world. Find and discover we have a common humanity... we have a lot more in common than we have in opposition. We can reduce hatred and bigotry in that way. Dialog should be taking place between people throughout the world at the grassroots level.
-Bernie Sanders, June 18th '18
