John,
A few weeks ago, we sent out a survey and asked you to share with us your top priorities for 2021. Thanks to your responses, we were able to gain invaluable insights on what issues Jamaal should focus on in Congress.
We pored over thousands of responses, read your concerns, and took in your feedback. One thing was very clear throughout: Our current systems are just not meeting the scale and scope of the crises we're facing.
There was an overwhelming response to act immediately to bring COVID-19 relief to our communities, cancel all federal student loan debt, and pass a Green New Deal for our country to combat the climate crisis.
It's been less than two months since he was sworn into Congress, but Jamaal has already proven himself as an effective leader. Most recently, he was able to secure a mass vaccination site for New York's 16th District — which was the the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in the state— by working with state and federal government officials to deliver for working families and communities.
Jamaal's activism doesn't just span nationally – he's determined to fight for humanity abroad and at home. Earlier this month, Jamaal wrote to the Israeli Acting Consul General of New York, calling on the Israeli government to fulfill its responsibility to vaccinate all Palestinians living in occupied territories, beyond the 5,000 health care workers it had originally promised to vaccinate.
In addition, he's joined forces with congressional powerhouses like Ayanna Pressley, AOC, and Cori Bush to build support towards cancelling student loan debt, and his continued advocacy and support to bring a Green New Deal and transformative energy policy is needed now more than ever.
John, it's so important that our movement's message aligns with your priorities, and we want you to continue speaking up for the issues you care about. If you would like to support Jamaal's work to bring big, important fights to the floors of Congress, please chip in what you can today to help strengthen our movement.
More soon,
Team Bowman
