Friend,

As the year winds down, it’s a time to reflect on what we’ve faced and accomplished together and reaffirm our resolve to remain steadfast in the fights ahead.

Like so many families in America, immigration is at the heart of my family’s story. So when I see families risk life and limb to come to the United States or leave everything behind just for a chance at a better life, I see the faces of my family, my neighbors, and my friends.

These are real people with important stories. And I know they can survive — even thrive — if we demand that our government do the right thing.

We need bridges that bring us together, not walls that tear us apart. We need hope for a future of abundance, not fear of those who may look and sound different. We need our leaders to talk less, listen more, and act now.

With your help, we can ensure families like mine, perhaps like yours, have the resources they need to thrive. But to do that, we need your support, friend. As we near the end of 2023, we're asking you to help us meet our $500,000 end-of-year matching gift challenge. Your donation of any size will be doubled if you make a gift today. Will you double your impact with a donation?

From my family to yours, thank you!
