As communities of color, we know that it took people facing fire hoses, dogs and even death for us to have the right to vote.
We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act & the #FreedomToVoteAct because that is how democracy survives.
Voting rights are the foundation of our democracy. The Senate needs to protect them before it's too late.
🗣Pass the #JLVRAA and the #FreedomToVoteAct now 🗣 thegrio.com/2021/12/15/king-…

A year ago I released #ChangeIsHard w @WelcomingUSA to understand how fear and anxiety about demographic change (aka a diversifying USA) in a hyper-polarized society could deeply threaten our pluralistic democracy, Well it has. Let's review why. welcomingamerica.org/sites/d…

We cannot tolerate a president who fomented an armed insurrection and actively thwarts the peaceful transfer of power in the United States of America. The president is unable to discharge his powers and duties and must be removed from office.

"We need to do a lot of anti-racist, #deepcanvassing in this country... if we keep losing white shares & just allowing Facebook to radicalize ... the white electorate, there’s no amount of people of color and young people ... to offset that." @AOC nytimes.com/2020/11/07/us/po…

Vote for @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris.

Today, I'm proud to announce that our campaign has earned the endorsement of @DoloresHuerta.
In 2013, she was the keynote speaker at a @workersdefense event. I had the opportunity to take a photo with her and my mom. Together, they've been two of my biggest role models.
