Friend, HAPPY PRIDE! π³οΈβπ
Like a lot of queer people growing up in the 90s, I didnβt see a lot of LGBTQ+ people in positions of power β and most of what I heard from politicians was bigotry and fear-mongering.
I wish I could go back in time to my younger self and show them this β that I would run for Congress as a proud, working-class, queer Latina woman!
I spoke to SGN about my campaign, why Iβm committed to building bridges between different points of view, and the effect of LGBTQ+ representation. Please read and share widely! [[link removed]]

To me, LGBTQ+ Pride is about living as your true, authentic self in a world that all too often wants to silence, shame us, and make us small.
Pride is especially meaningful this year β not just with my campaign, but with the resurgence of hate and violence against the LGBTQ+ community.
The same kinds of politicians that ranted against my right to marry are demonizing queer and trans kids, banning life-saving treatments, taking books with queer characters off of school bookshelves, and passing βDonβt Say Gayβ laws that seek to erase our very existence.
I will make history as the first queer Latina in Congress β and Iβll do everything in my power to be visible, to fiercely defend ALL our rights, and embody the LGBTQ+ representation I wish Iβd had as a kid.
Letβs do this β¨π³οΈβπβ€οΈπ§‘πππππ©·π€

P.S. This is the part where I ask you for a donation. Last month was very tough for fundraising, and weβre still facing a $7,994 budget gap. Can you chip in $6 or any amount to support this historic campaign in the 6th District?
