I’m proud of how I grew up and talk about it all the time!
My mom cleaned houses and I helped. We cleaned tutors’ homes in exchange for SAT prep.
Growing up between The Bronx and Yorktown deeply shaped my views of inequality and it’s a big reason I believe the things I do today!
I tell this story on the Fighting Oligarchy tour 😂
When my dad died during the financial crisis, my mom almost got foreclosed on.
The GOP always thinks this is some gotcha but I ran my whole campaign for Congress on this, with the motto “Your ZIP code shouldn’t determine your destiny.”
Our movement is powered by people who believe a better world is possible for each and every one of us — and we’re just getting this fight started.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
