My immigration story is not so different from many others. When I first came to America from Jamaica, I was a student looking for higher education. I came with aspirations of finding a new home and making a difference.

I have continued to live my American dream as a councilwoman in Brooklyn, advocating for better education, housing reform, and helping immigrants make a prosperous life here.

So, I am immensely proud of the work Yvette has done. Not only has she, 

• Led the charge to protect DACA recipients and those affected by deferred enforced departure, 
• introduced a bipartisan bill called the ASPIRE Act (H.R.4384), that would provide relief to all temporary protected status eligible individuals,
• she is also a proponent for abolishing ICE, not to mention a co-sponsor of H.R.1013, the ICE, and CBP Body Camera Accountability Act,
• and also co-leading the Closers Immigration bill and the Roadmap to Freedom Resolution.

While these are only a few of the pieces of legislation that she has introduced in Congress, she is also Co-Chair of the Caribbean Caucus, where she is working to build the relationship between the United States and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on matters of trade, immigration reform, and direct investment through development programs.

Team, if you support the work that Yvette is doing on immigration, chip in $5 to her campaign today and help us start the year off strong.

Thanks,
