[1]Cori Bush

John, I’m honored
and humbled to share with you that I’ve been named the Ranking Member for
the Judiciary’s Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration.

I came to this country when I was 16, alone, and with nothing in my
pockets. After 17 years on an alphabet soup of visas to become a U.S.
citizen, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to live the American
Dream, a dream that is out of reach for too many immigrants today. It’s
time for that to change.

As the first South Asian woman elected to the U.S. House of
Representatives and one of only two dozen naturalized citizens in
Congress, I’m ready to serve and bring my own life experiences to this
critical role.

[ [link removed] ]I ran for Congress because I saw a need for genuine leadership from
people like me — and because of you, this is all possible. In light of
this historic news, will you share your support and split a contribution
between myself and Cori Bush?

I have been fighting to reform our immigration laws from the moment I
first set foot in Congress, and I am proud of the landmark bills I’ve
introduced, including:

* Roadmap to Freedom Resolution
* Access to Counsel Act
* Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act
* WISE Act
* Protection of Kids in Immigrant Detention Act
* HEAL Act

But for me, this work started long before I was elected to the House of
Representatives. For many years, I organized as an activist for
immigrants’ rights.

I sued George Bush’s administration and was recognized by President Obama
— in other words, I’m not afraid to get in the trenches and I know what’s
worth fighting for. I fought unjust deportations, advocated for newly
naturalized and immigrant Americans, and mobilized women against cruel
family separation policies.

[ [link removed] ]As Ranking Member, I intend to do everything in my power to stop the
GOP’s cruel agenda and fight for our communities. Will you stand with me
and split a donation between me and Cori Bush today?

It’s clear that the Republican leadership of the Judiciary committee has
no intention to engage in good faith or reform our immigration laws for
the better. It is up to us to stand up to the GOP’s extreme agenda and
protect our people — and I will. This is the work that I came to Congress
to do. Along with the rest of our movement for all forms of social,
racial, economic, and environmental justice, I promise you to never stop
fighting.

In solidarity,

Pramila
