Also any individual is welcome to express whatever issues they care about. I think the writers of that statement probably listed their core issues and issues they think are common to the movement, especially reclaiming American democracy from the 1%. I also didn't see anything in there about racism, women's rights, sexual orientation equality, or other issues. Not everything can fit in one press release.
