Fascism is rising in America,
John.
Families are being torn apart as Donald Trump deploys ICE to terrorize
immigrants with cruelty, chaos, and unchecked power. The National Guard is
being sent into cities to impose curfews and authoritarian rule. Giant
flags of Trump’s face are flying on the sides of federal buildings, while
his cabinet meetings have devolved into hours upon hours of fake, fawning
praise — live on national TV.
With too many spineless Democrats standing on the sidelines watching this
unfold in silence, we need more bold leaders in Congress who are unafraid
to stand up and speak up for their communities — no matter how chilling
the villain.
That’s why Justice Democrats just endorsed Angela Gonzales-Torres in
California’s 34th congressional district: because she’s exactly the kind
of leader we need to fight back right now.
Angela knows what this cruel, anti-immigrant agenda looks like firsthand.
When she was just 15 years old, her family lived through every immigrant
or mixed-status family’s worst nightmare: her father was deported, leaving
her mother to raise four daughters alone. Her mom worked two and three
jobs just to make ends meet for her daughters, but times were still tough,
and her family experienced housing insecurity, living in her mother’s car,
shelters, family members’ homes, and eventually a one-bedroom apartment.
Angela understands the gravity of this moment for her community and has
been organizing day in and day out with families to protect them from the
cruelty of the Trump administration. She knows her community deserves
better — not just real representation, but respect — and she won’t stop
fighting until they get it.

CA-34 has one of the largest immigrant populations in the country: about
one-third of Los Angeles residents are immigrants, and one-sixth are
likely undocumented. The city has been thrust into the national spotlight
with Trump’s cruel focus on ICE raids and his directive for the National
Guard to occupy the city and use local parks as training grounds.
While Trump makes an example out of her district for his fascist military
takeover, Angela has a clear and bold vision to fight back for her
community and families like hers. She believes immigration policy should
reflect the values of dignity, opportunity, and inclusion — that’s why she
supports:
* A clear pathway to citizenship for all, including the over 11 million
undocumented people living in the United States;
* Protections for mixed-status families and expanded access to social
services like healthcare, housing, and education;
* Increased federal funding for legal representation in immigration
courts, community integration programs, and modernized and humane
asylum processes.
Her incumbent opponent, on the other hand, has been more concerned with
gaining and retaining power at any cost. Instead of fighting back against
the special interests who got us here, Rep. Jimmy Gomez is bankrolled by
the same corporate PACs that helped elect Trump and enable this
militarized mass deportation effort.
He’s even taken contributions from CoreCivic — one of the key private
prison companies profiting from Trump’s cruel immigration crackdown. What
that means is, as his community members are terrorized, detained, and
denied their basic rights, Jimmy Gomez’s donors are profiting. It’s no
wonder his constituents don’t see him as a fighter for their community.
But Angela is already fighting back — and unlike Jimmy, she won’t take
checks from corporate PACs or private prisons. That means she’s going to
need ALL of us behind her to win this race.

Immigrants are not a problem to be solved — they are part of the solution.
Angela’s vision for immigration is grounded in humanity, inclusion, and
shared prosperity.
Instead of focusing on climbing the political ladder, she’s ready to give
it her all to fight for policies that reflect the reality and dignity of
the people who call CA-34 home, and stop Trump’s fascism in its tracks.
At the end of the day, it’s simple: on one side, it’s Trump, Jimmy Gomez,
and his corporate PAC donors. On the other, it’s us, Angela, and her
commitment to protecting her community, every single day. [ [link removed] ]Will you
