Did you see this headline from the Boston Globe?
Yesterday, Ayanna was officially sworn in to her second term in Congress representing the Massachusetts 7th. We wanted to take a moment to reflect on her first two years in office, and then ask you to chip in $3 to help us continue to make progress for all of our communities.
In her first term, Ayanna introduced or co-led 55 bold, transformative pieces of legislation. She introduced the People’s Justice Guarantee, to reimagine our criminal legal system; she led legislation to transform public transportation and make it more accessible; she fought to end qualified immunity, abolish the death penalty, strengthen worker protections, and more. And she was an outspoken advocate for justice for all of our communities - racial justice, economic justice, environmental justice, healthcare justice, survivor justice, the list goes on.
As Ayanna often says, “those closest to the pain should be closest to the power,” and that continues to be the guiding principle of our movement and this campaign. With your support, we are building a diverse, intergenerational, intersectional movement to keep organizing and advocating for policies that match the scale of the crises facing our communities today.
Already, Ayanna is pushing President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to take bold action early in their administration - to cancel student debt, abolish the death penalty, and more. And she’ll continue to fight to build on the progress we’ve made together over the past two years.
Justice remains the goal, and Ayanna is ready to keep organizing, advocating, and legislating for justice and equality for every American.
Thank you so much for your support during Ayanna’s first term. We’re so grateful that you are a part of the A-Team, and so excited to continue working together in the 117th Congress.
In solidarity,
The A-Team
