John –

Today, I appear in court to keep fighting the baseless charges brought against me by the Trump administration. This case is precedent-setting and it will shape the future of our democracy.

I am being targeted for doing my oversight work at an ICE facility. The Trump administration wants to punish political opponents and anyone who speaks up, silence dissent, drain me of my resources with an expensive legal battle, and put me in prison for up to 17 years. Even in the face of all this, I will not stop fighting.

Can I count on you to pitch in to Gil Cisneros and me to help fight back? We need your help to amass the resources to keep fighting this legal battle in court.

While I am not guilty of these charges, I am facing real prison time and a long, expensive court fight. What’s more, the outcome of this case will impact how public officials can be targeted by the administration. Mine is the first prosecution like this from the Trump administration, but we know it won’t be the last.

On Tuesday, we argue our motions to dismiss this case in court. I need you standing with me.

The stakes couldn’t be higher: this case is about whether or not the Trump administration gets to silence the voices that challenge it.

I will not fold and I will keep standing up because our democracy is on the line.

This is a warning shot for more authoritarian action, and we can’t let them win.

They want to make an example out of me, but I refuse to back down. Will you stand with me and Gil Cisneros by donating anything you can now to help keep my legal defense strong?

We’re not backing down,

The son of a public school cafeteria worker and a Vietnam veteran, and the grandson of WWII veterans, Gil has always understood the importance of public service. He served in the Navy for 11 years before building a middle-class life for himself and his family as a logistics manager.

And after he purchased a winning lottery ticket in 2010, he dedicated his life to funding philanthropic opportunities for communities all across the San Gabriel Valley.

Now, with MAGA extremists running the House of Representatives, Gil is standing up for the San Gabriel Valley in Congress and continuing his mission of service, advocating for veterans, gun safety reform, economic opportunity for working families, climate action, and defending women’s rights.
