Across the country, Emerge alums are stepping up to hold ICE accountable — and they’re doing it from positions of power.

In Congress, Emerge alums Rep. Maxine Dexter (OR) and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (AZ) are pushing for accountability at the highest levels following violent ICE operations in their communities. In cities and states nationwide. Emerge alums are speaking out against what they see as unchecked federal overreach and the harm it is causing families.

And they aren’t stopping at statements.

In Maine, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows took action to prevent state resources from being used in ways that could enable unlawful law enforcement activity. In New Jersey, State Senator Britnee Timberlake is advancing legislation to strengthen trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities — drawing a clear line between local public safety and federal immigration raids.

This is what Emerge leadership looks like: bold, prepared women who use their offices at every level to protect communities, defend civil rights, and demand accountability.

But none of this happens by accident. It happens because Emerge recruits, trains, and supports Democratic women who are ready to lead in moments exactly like this.
