Early childhood education:
Investing in early childhood programs. Hillary has called for doubling our investment in Early Head Start and Early Head StartChild Care programs, which bring evidence-based curriculum into the child care setting to provide comprehensive, full-day, high-quality services to low-income families.
Expanding preschool access. Hillary has called for us to build on the bipartisan work taking place in states and communities across America that expand access to preschool by initiating new federal support for their efforts. Her proposal would ensure that every four year old in America has access to high-quality preschool in the next 10 years, by providing new federal funding for states that expand access to quality preschool for four year olds.

Improve the quality of K-12 education in low income communities. https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/k-12-education/
K-12 is where inequality is solidified. Without addressing that, the poor can't take advantage of government-subsidized college.
Bernie has no plan for early childhood or k-12.
Gun violence prevention through strengthened gun control. https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/gun-violence-prevention/ Including repealing immunity for gun CORPORATIONS, something Bernie voted for.
