Kirsten: Congratulate Alma

Robert,
Last night, Alma Adams was sworn in as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, becoming the 100th woman to serve in our current Congress.
This important milestone was nearly a hundred years in the making, dating back to 1917. While we mark this occasion, let us also make clear: We won’t wait another century to get the equal representation women deserve.
We can – and should – recognize this moment without getting complacent over our future. We should fight for more swearings-in, more celebrations, and more women in office.
But first, I hope you’ll join with EMILY’s List and me to honor this great woman. Congratulate Alma, who spent 20 years serving in her state’s legislature, on the occasion of her swearing-in.
Congratulate Alma Adams and welcome her to Congress! Sign the card.
Even as we reach 100 women in Congress, our representation is still less than 20 percent – far less than our share of the overall population.
We can never let up, and I know you won’t. 
Thank you for helping Alma and other women be champions for us all.
We couldn’t do it without you.
Kirsten

I have a few updates for you

  I get it: It can be hard to keep track of everything going on in Washington. And it can be easy to feel discouraged about what’s not happening fast enough, or what’s not happening, period. So I want to give a quick rundown of how I see the lay of the land, and how we’re making some progress even though we’re in the middle of some tough fights. But first, I’m asking: We have a big end-of-quarter fundraising deadline coming up, and we have less than a week to hit our goal. If you’re in a place where making a financial contribution makes sense, please chip in $3 or whatever you can to support our re-election campaign, help elect Democrats up and down the ballot, and fight for the bold reforms that we need as a country.

Are Democrats trying to stop Republicans or the Squad?

Image
  Black Independent Party, it seems like House Democrats are fighting harder to protect themselves from the basic tenets of democracy than they are to defeating Republicans. It’s ridiculous.. The 4th most powerful Democrat in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, and one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress, Josh Gottheimer, have launched “Team Blue PAC” — a PAC specifically designed to spend big money against progressive primary challengers like Justice Democrats. Jeffries and Gottheimer claim they are doing this on behalf of Democratic Party leadership. Wall Street, war hawks, Big Pharma, and Big Oil are spending resources to stop the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib from getting to Congress. Just as Justice Democrats is building power to transform politics in this country, establishment Democrats are scrambling to protect themselves and their donors. We must step up right now to support the 3 new Justice Democrats running against the corpor...

IJ scores a restraining order against an $85 million government cash grab

  IJ won an early and important victory for property owners this week when a California federal judge issued a difficult to obtain temporary restraining order preventing the government’s   shameless theft   of our clients’ life savings.   Please   join IJ with a donation today   and help us challenge—and end—even more outrageous abuses of government power. The government’s cash grab started in March. The FBI raided the Beverly Hills company U.S. Private Vaults, where property owners from across southern California store their cash, jewelry, and other valuables in safe deposit boxes. Although the FBI suspected the company of wrongdoing, it had no reason to suspect any individual box holder of wrongdoing. Nevertheless, agents broke into every box and seized their contents. Then, after a delay of several months, the government moved to take over $85 million in cash (and millions more in precious metals, jewelry, and other property) using civil forfeiture. Prac...

let’s solve the child care crisis

Image
  Robert, This month, Senator Rosen hosted a roundtable discussion with Nevada child and family advocates to discuss solving the child care crisis to give families and our economy a boost. Here’s the simple truth: if families and small businesses are going to recover from the economic crisis caused by this pandemic, we have to make investing in child care a priority. And that’s why Senator Rosen is working hard in Washington to pass critical support for working parents here in Nevada and all across the country. If you’re with Jacky, sign on now to support affordable child care for working families. Senator Rosen’s bipartisan legislation, introduced in the House by Congresswoman Susie Lee, would provide key support for non-profit child care facilities so they can provide affordable child care. We need urgent action on this issue so families and businesses can come back even stronger. Jacky will keep doing everything she can to ensure more working families have access to the hig...

join me in supporting Attorney General Mark Herring

Image
    Friend, Virginia's statewide election this November represents a clear choice between continuing the progress we have made as a Commonwealth these last few years and turning the clock back to the disaster of Trumpism.  That's why I'm emailing you again today to ask you to join me in supporting Attorney General Mark Herring. Attorney General Herring has been on the front lines of defending the rights of Virginians. He helped lead the fight against the Trump administration's assault on the Affordable Care Act. He stood up to the NRA and championed common sense gun safety laws. And he's made sure the Attorney General's office is on the side of justice on issues including criminal justice reform, environmental protection, and the opioid crisis. I'm proud to support Mark Herring for re-election, but he's facing a tough re-election fight and needs our help. Will you make a donation today and join me in supporting Mark Herring? If you've saved your paym...
