John,
Later this week, I’ll be sworn in for my fourth term in Congress. Thank you for sending me back to Congress to fight for you and vulnerable communities.
With you by my side, we have pushed back against the military industrial complex, opposing each and every Pentagon budget and introducing the Stop Politicians Profiting from War Act to ban members of Congress from investing in weapons contractors.
We have fought for the right to utilities, including water as a human right, establishing a $1.1 billion Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program to save lives and keep people’s water flowing. And, more recently, I introduced the H2O UP Act (Half-Century Update for Water Access and Affordability Act) to establish the first-ever permanent federal low-income water affordability program.
I founded and co-chair the Congressional Mamas’ Caucus to focus on policies like access to affordable childcare, paid family leave, Black maternal health, and reproductive justice.
As a member of the House Oversight Committee, I held Postmaster General Louis DeJoy accountable, telling him, "I've never seen this many complaints about our Postal Service until you were in charge." I went on to ask DeJoy, "[American Postal Workers Union Convention] passed a resolution calling for your resignation. Did you know that?"
From demanding an end to U.S. arms sales to Israel to end the genocide against the Palestinian people to holding the powerful to account, we will never stop working toward a future where our communities have what they need, not just to survive, but to thrive.
Tomorrow at midnight is our final fundraising deadline of the year. Will you donate $5 to power our work ahead?
Every piece of legislation I write and introduce is done in partnership with members of my district to ensure everyday people have the resources they need. Your support today will allow us to hold more town hall meetings and more roundtables with impacted communities, from immigrants who will be under increased attack under the incoming Trump administration to those economically impacted by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” which seeks to cut Medicaid, Social Security, nutrition, housing, and more to pay for more tax cuts for the rich and corporations.
Please, make an end-of-year donation today to power our work ahead in 2025.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:
Thank you for being by my side as we never stop fighting for justice and equity for all.
In love and solidarity,
Rashida
