Cynthia Nixon

In their races for governor and lieutenant governor, Nixon and Williams have endorsed progressive reforms including Medicare for All and affordable housing

"Healthcare should be a human right, not a privilege for those who can afford it."

"Will women voters feel exploited by what they might see as a ruse, and will that anger rebound in Ms. Nixon's favor? Women are tired of being used."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Cynthia Nixon come together to "speak of their shared progressive, people-powered campaigns taking on centrist, corporate Democrats"

"If we're serious about reducing climate-warming emissions quickly enough to preserve our life-sustaining systems—and we are—then we have to start voting on climate."

"Don't be scared of democracy—let the voters decide."

"We must transition from an economy based in toxic carbon emissions toward an economy that protects workers, our communities, and our planet," said Nixon. "It won’t be easy. But we don't have a choice."

"It's hard for some Democrats to do right when they're getting millions and millions to do wrong," she says.
