My plan drove the conversation on immigration in the Democratic debates -- and now, I'm being attacked for speaking out. I hope you'll take a moment to read about my immigration plan, then sign your name to show you have my back in supporting it >> action.julianforthefuture.com/page/s/immigration-survey?source=20190713_em_pet_b1_castro_all_rs

My grandma came to America when she was just seven years old after being separated from her dying mother.

I watched the pain of never getting to say goodbye haunt her even as a seventy-year-old woman.

I see her image in the children at our borders today -- children as young as infants ripped from their parents, locked in cages, and even "lost" in the system.

My grandmother's memory -- and this president's defining failure -- has led me to this decision:

I wanted to tell you personally about my first groundbreaking policy proposal -- People First Immigration. I'm asking you to sign your name and stand united with me in calling for an end to criminalizing desperation. >> action.julianforthefuture.com/page/s/immigration-survey?source=20190713_em_pet_b1_castro_all_rs

I won't lie to you:

My proposal is bold. But it's what our country needs.

People First Immigration centers around 3 key principles:

-No more family separation or children in cages -- period.
-Bring DREAMers and other undocumented folks out of the shadows -- full stop.
-Address the root causes of migrant crises -- this is key.

I promised you that I was the complete antithesis to Donald Trump.

And People First Immigration makes good on that promise.

I need 50,000 signatures-strong before midnight to show the world that America demands an immigration system that restores our faith in people, and puts hatred and bigotry in our rear view mirror. Will you add your name? >> action.julianforthefuture.com/page/s/immigration-survey?source=20190713_em_pet_b1_castro_all_rs

Talk soon,

Julián
