Barbara Lee Is Proud to be the Progressive OG
The House’s steadiest advocate for peace knows what it takes to stand up for your ideals.

She has been steadfast in her grievances against the military-industrial complex...has not flinched on that issue, at all.
Few members of Congress are so well experienced in both foreign and domestic policy. Fewer members still have been so right so many times on matters of consequence: from LGBTQ rights to abortion rights to climate justice to her early embrace of the Black Lives Matter movement to her courageous 2001 vote to oppose the Authorization for Military Force that Bush employed as an excuse to wage forever wars.
Lee would make the Democratic ticket stronger by exciting the party’s base while expanding its reach.
While Biden is not on board with “Medicare for All,” Lee is all in. While Biden’s record on criminal justice reform has been, to put it politely, troublesome, Lee has been working on these issues for decades. Biden went to war in Iraq and sent his son there, Lee opposed that!
It has been said that Lee is ahead of her time, especially on matters of war and peace. Instead of waiting to praise her in the future, this would be a very good time for Joe and the Democrats to catch up
