Hi friend,
GOP Rep. Debbie Lesko thinks Latinos aren't Americans.
“I worked with people that are Hispanic,” Lesko said during a recent House committee hearing on vaccinations, according to NBC News. “We have to take care of American citizens, or people that are here legally, first.”
Everyone deserves to survive and thrive -- and by electing the first Black and Asian vice president, we sent a message to the GOP that everyone deserves a shot at the American Dream regardless of their race, class, gender, or citizenship status.
In response to Lesko's comments, Democratic state senator Martin Quezada said that Lesko's statement “reeks of racism.”
The GOP's entire legacy and agenda has reeked of racism for decades, and Lesko's comments are just one example of their continued white nationalist crusade.
Here at ASPIRE, we've been working to address the rise in hate crimes against communities of color. We've been standing up to the GOP's attempts to bar vulnerable people from accessing the resources they need during this health, economic, and environmental crisis. And we've been fighting to pass sweeping immigration reform.
Combatting all these different crises is draining our funds. We need grassroots supporters like you to help us make up the shortfall before our budget runs dry -- so please, can you rush us a donation so we can push back against Republicans like Lesko and continue fighting for the resources that our communities so desperately need? >> [link removed]
