John,

Today marks the anniversary of the ratification of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which enshrined into law a uniquely American promise:

When this amendment was drafted more than 150 years ago, its authors purposely included language that would prevent future lawmakers from changing it based solely on the shifting political whims of the day.

But now there are some lawmakers who hope to make an end-run around our Constitution and use their own narrow criteria to determine who gets to be an American citizen. The President and Republicans in Congress are trying to eliminate these long-standing protections simply because it serves their anti-immigrant agenda.

Will you rush $10 today to help fight the Trump Administration’s un-American attempts to roll back “equal protection under the law” for so many of our neighbors here in Southern Florida?

or donate another amount.

No matter your race, class, or background, if you’re born or naturalized within our borders, you’re a full American, entitled to equal protection under the law. Period.

Together, let’s make good on this uniquely American promise and continue the fight to protect the Constitution’s guarantee of equal rights. Donate today at DonnaShalala.com/promise.

Thank you,

Donna
