INTRO
I am committed to comprehensive immigration reform that reflects our progressive values and principles. Our nation was built by immigrants and is beautiful because of them. It's imperative that we create a fair, just, and compassionate immigration system.
Our Approach to Immigration Reform
Pathway to Citizenship
We believe in providing a clear and accessible pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who have contributed to our communities. We must recognize their valuable contributions and provide a fair and equitable process for them to become full-fledged members of our society.
Family Reunification
We support policies that prioritize keeping families together. Reuniting families separated by immigration policies is not just a moral imperative but also a fundamental human right.
Protection for Vulnerable Populations
It is essential to protect vulnerable populations, including refugees and asylum seekers fleeing violence and persecution. We must ensure they have access to fair and humane asylum processes.
DACA and Dreamers
We stand firmly with DACA recipients and Dreamers who are as American as any of us. We support a permanent solution that provides them with a pathway to citizenship and the opportunity to continue contributing to our society.
End Detention and Deportation of Non-Violent Offenders
We believe in ending the detention and deportation of non-violent offenders, focusing instead on those who pose real threats to our communities.
Worker Protections
Immigrant workers are often subjected to exploitation. We advocate for stronger labor protections and workers' rights to ensure fair treatment and wages for all.
Community Engagement
We will actively engage with immigrant communities, listen to their concerns, and work collaboratively to address their needs and aspirations.
CONCLUSION
Our campaign's commitment to immigration reform is not just about policy; it's about embracing the diversity that makes our nation strong. We will fight tirelessly to create an immigration system that reflects our progressive values of inclusivity, compassion, and justice.
HOUSELESSNESS
& LIVABILITY
We envision a congressional district (and beyond) where every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive in a safe, affordable, and inclusive community. We are determined to transform this vision into a reality.
Our campaign, driven by progressive values, is committed to advocating for equal rights and protections for Women, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), and LGBTQ+ individuals.
Equal Rights & Protections for Women, BIPOC,
& LGBTQ+
CLIMATE ACTION
Climate action is a complex issue requiring a multifaceted approach with solutions that don’t just speak to climate change, but ones that put the importance of inclusivity and social justice front and center.
WOMEN'S HEALTH & REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS
I firmly believe that everyone, regardless of their gender or identity, should have the right to make decisions about their own bodies and reproductive health.
