John, I have amazing news to share with you: On May 14th, I gave birth to my second child and my first son, Abdul!

Our family of 3 is now a family of 4, and our hearts are filled with absolute love and joy.

I’m going to be taking some time off to spend my days with our newborn and my family, but I promise, you’ll still be hearing from me soon.

I want Abdul and his big sister, Aaliyah, to grow up in a world where they can practice their faith without political attacks. A world where reproductive choice is protected and respected. A world where all our elected officials fight for a brighter future.

All of this is possible, John. But if, and only if, you stand with me and my family in our efforts to bring about real change in North Carolina. So before I sign off to spend time with my newborn, can you please chip in $27? With your support, I can keep fighting for a more inclusive, more welcoming state, and help elect amazing progressive candidates up and down the ballot! >>

Forever thankful!

-- The Allam Family (now 4 of us!)
