We wanted to give you a report on what Ayanna’s been up to this month.
In the midst of an ongoing pandemic, an economic crisis, and deep uncertainty for many, Ayanna has continued to advocate for transformative policies to protect and support all of our communities:
In response to the emergency created by the expiration of the eviction moratorium, Ayanna joined Representative Cori Bush and others in calling for an urgent extension of the moratorium to protect the millions of families at risk of becoming unhoused.
She joined Cori in protest at the Capitol to put pressure on Congress and the Biden Administration to do what’s right – resulting in the extension of the moratorium in areas with high rates of COVID-19.
Ayanna is still fighting for the permanent cancellation of student loan debt. Student loan debt is not only an economic justice issue, but also a racial justice issue – disproportionately impacting Black and Brown people, preventing them from building wealth and accessing opportunity.
Last week, the Biden Administration and Department of Education announced an extension of the pause on student loan repayments. If this Administration has the power to pause payments, they have the power to cancel them for good and provide critical relief to the millions of people struggling under the burden of student loan debt.
Ayanna called on the Department of Justice to strengthen the current moratorium on federal executions by formally directing federal prosecutors to stop seeking the death penalty. Ayanna won’t back down until the death penalty is abolished for good.
This bold and urgent advocacy has made Ayanna the target of conservatives and right-wing groups, who have already funneled tens of thousands of dollars into spreading disinformation about Ayanna and our movement.
From Republican members calling for her to be censured, to police union PACs funding a text message campaign against us — we need to ensure our campaign has the resources to fight back today.
We rely on contributions from emails like this one to power our work and secure Ayanna’s seat in Congress.
Thank you for being a part of our movement and for stepping up today,
The A-Team
