John,
This Women’s History Month, I’m honored to join courageous and progressive women like Congresswoman Delia Ramirez.
This month, I co-sponsored Delia’s resolution demanding the president and his administration comply immediately with all court orders. She said:
“In this country, we don't bow to kings or bend a knee to dictators. The elected president of our nation has the obligation to respect our constitution, our democratic institutions, and to honor our system of checks and balances.”
Delia co-chairs the Congressional Homelessness Committee and is the Ranking Member of the Veterans’ Affairs Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee. She and I have been demanding the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Housing and Urban Development reverse cruel cuts and protect the programs that veterans rely on that keep families housed, that enforce fair housing laws, and that assist first-time homebuyers in getting a mortgage.
We’ve also co-led legislation to expand healthcare providers for veterans and together we introduced the Restaurant Workers Bill of Rights to demand stability, safety, and paid leave for often-exploited workers.
Both Delia and I are proud daughters of immigrants, and she’s the only member of Congress in a mixed-immigration-status family. She and I have worked with local immigrants’ rights groups in our districts to hold Know Your Rights events, and I co-sponsored a bill she’s leading to prevent ICE raids at places like churches, schools, and hospitals.
Together, Delia and I will continue resisting Trump’s attacks on our communities, defending human and civil rights for all, and fighting for a future where everyone thrives.
Can you split a donation between my and Delia Ramirez’s campaigns to support our bold leadership for human rights, housing for all, immigration reform, expanded veterans’ services, and a government that works for all people, not just the billionaires?

Delia has been a crucial partner in the fight against oppression here at home and abroad. She has co-sponsored my anti-war policies, including Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block weapons from being used in war crimes and the Stop Politicians Profiting from War Act. Our government always finds money for bombs, but none to end homelessness in our country. We’re pushing to change that.
The Trump administration is run by billionaires, for billionaires. Along with a cabinet full of billionaires, the richest man in the world is trying to take over our government to get rich while stealing from working families. They’re trying to distract and divide us by attacking marginalized people, but we will push back and speak out against fascist fear-mongering and dehumanization.
We will use every tool at our disposal to fight back in Congress, and we will partner with grassroots movements building necessary power outside of Congress. We will keep fighting for our shared humanity and dignity for all.
Delia told her constituents recently: “Together, in the streets and in Congress, we remain courageous and organized; they will not break us.”
If you’re able, could you chip in to support Congresswoman Delia Ramirez’s and my campaigns as part of the fight against fascism?
With you in this fight,
Rashida
