Support humane immigration policies

John, The family separation policy -- designed by the Donald Trump administration -- was state-sanctioned cruelty and resulted in the separation of nearly 4,000 migrant children from their families. These children suffered horrible trauma, were not adequately protected from COVID-19, and lost t…

We can't let congressional Republicans have the upper hand

I'll cut to the chase, John -- I need your help. There are just over 24 hours until the May end-of-month deadline, and we're still behind on our goal. Here's why this deadline is so crucial: Congressional Republicans are dead-set on undoing all of the progress we're making. They're already puttin…

Mitch is up to the same tricks

John, Rather than working to strengthen this democracy, repair our infrastructure, or expand access to the COVID-19 vaccine, Mitch McConnell and his allies in Congress have one singular focus: obstructing anything that will move our country forward. They're resorting to their same partisan ga…

Diana won't stop working to move us forward.

John, This district elected Diana to deliver results. With so much work ahead to rebuild from the Trump era, recover from COVID-19, fix our economy, and make our country work for everyone, that's exactly what she's doing. Unsurprisingly, Republican leaders in Congress are united in their oppos…

We need to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act

John, One year ago today, George Floyd's life was cut short because of the actions of Minneapolis police officers. Their abuse of power and disregard for his life was nothing short of disgusting -- and is too often the case for Black Americans. Black Americans are three times more likely to be…

Demand the Senate establish a January 6 commission

How we reduce homelessness in Colorado:

John, Colorado has the 11th highest rate of homelessness in the nation, and homelessness has gone up each of the past four years. In the City of Denver alone, over 4,000 residents -- including over 900 youth -- face homelessness, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only made this worse. That's why D…
