John Fetterman, Pennsylvania, Signs Diversity Pledge

Diversity Matters promotes champions dedicated to building a more inclusive pipeline of future elected leaders. Our latest endorsement is John Fetterman for U.S. Senate. Here’s why he’s a Diversity Champion!

What John believes

  • The minimum wage should be a living wage of at least $15 an hour. All work has dignity, and all paychecks must too.

  • Health care is a fundamental human right – just like housing, food, and education.

  • Climate change is an existential threat. We need to transition to clean energy as quickly as possible, and we can create millions of good union jobs in the process.

  • Weed should be legal, nationwide — for jobs, justice, veterans, farmers, and revenue. It’s time to end the failed war on drugs.

  • Immigration is what makes America, America. We need a compassionate response to immigration reform that actually treats immigrants like human beings.

  • Black Lives Matter. John served as mayor of a city that’s more than 80% Black, and has championed the idea that Black lives matter since long before it became a hashtag.

  • The union way of life is sacred. It’s what built this nation, and it must be protected.

  • A woman’s right to an abortion is non-negotiable. Women should have control over their own bodies and their own lives. Period.

  • LGBTQIA+ communities deserve equal protections under the law. John has always stood for equality, and was one of the first elected officials in PA to officiate a same-sex wedding – when it was still illegal.

  • Get corporate money out of politics. John refuses contributions from corporate PACs, and he signed the “No Fossil Fuel Money” Pledge.
