Ed. Note: Led by Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks had a substantial presence in Cedar Rapids, promoting a five-point Progressive Economic Pledge.

On June 9, 2019, Cenk Uygur led the TYT Army to Cedar Rapids, Iowa and attempted to get the candidates to sign the Progressive Economic pledge. Share the pledge with your friends and family. Let's change the world!

Progressive Economic Pledge

Higher Wages
I pledge to fight for a $15 minimum wage tied to inflation and collective bargaining and to work on behalf of the American worker instead of corporate donors.

Medicare for All
I pledge to fight for a Medicare for All healthcare system that transforms healthcare in this country into a right, not a privilege.

Green New Deal
I pledge to fight for a 10-year plan to mobilize every aspect of American society to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and create millions of new high wage jobs building the infrastructure and industries of the new economy.

College for All
I pledge to fight for free College for All so that everyone can get to live the American dream, not just the wealthy elite.

End The Corruption
I pledge to fight for a constitutional amendment to ban the private financing of elections and to use all available paths to that amendment so we can once again have free and fair elections.
