Our campaign has always relied on the grassroots support of people like you contributing whatever you can, whenever you can because you believe in Ayanna’s vision for transformative justice and equity for all.
We’re coming up on our first quarterly deadline of the year, and we figured now is as good a time as any to let you know exactly what you are funding when you support our campaign.
This is going to be long, so if you’re short on time you can make your first $3 contribution here.
Here is what Ayanna has been working on so far this year:
Ending qualified immunity: Ayanna has been leading the push for major policing reform in Congress. For far too long, law enforcement officers have been shielded from accountability while countless families, robbed of their loved ones, have been denied justice. Together with Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, Ayanna introduced a bill to fully end qualified immunity.
Expanding voting rights: Early last week, Ayanna introduced an amendment to lower the voting age to 16. Young organizers and activists have fought for our democracy and deserve to have a voice at the ballot box.
Enacting a Federal Job Guarantee: Ayanna introduced a resolution to advance racial, economic, and environmental justice through a federal job guarantee program that would provide a good job to anyone who wants one. Federal jobs through the program would pay at least $15 an hour, and offer benefits like health insurance and paid sick leave. The program would supplement our country’s current social safety net and unemployment insurance, and help us address critical needs in our communities.
Expanding paid leave for essential workers: Ayanna joined Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro in leading the effort in the House to expand the emergency paid leave policy to include the 106 million workers — mostly women, low-wage, and essential workers — not currently covered by the policy. The bill, included in the COVID-19 relief package, would grant 15 weeks of paid leave to federal employees.
Thank you for being such a key part of The A-Team.
