The Dream and Promise Act

  John xxxxxx, We have to reform our broken immigration system and provide a path to citizenship for the millions of hardworking undocumented people who dream of becoming American citizens. Today, House Democrats are setting out to do just that via the Dream and Promise Act. If passed…

  Hi John xxxxxx — I hope you took some time this weekend to reflect on all that we have accomplished together over the last few months. Millions of Americans all across the country came together last year to send Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House and elect a Democratic m…

Tomorrow

  We’ll get right to it, John xxxxxx: Hakeem is leading the tough fights in Congress on the issues that matter most to all of us, like rebuilding from COVID-19, ending gun violence, and getting special interest money out of our elections. And he counts on grassroots support to keep le…

A whirlwind month

  John xxxxxx — February has been a whirlwind month for Hakeem and his Democratic colleagues in the House. Right now, he’s hard at work with House Democrats to pass President Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, advance the For The People Act to reform our democracy, and raise …

Republicans are standing in the way of COVID relief

  John xxxxxx, The United States reached a tragic milestone this week: more than 500,000 Americans have died from COVID-19. It should have never gotten to this point. Since President Biden was sworn in, he and Democrats in Congress have been working together to get this public health …

Take our February Issues Survey →

  Hey John xxxxxx! Team Jeffries here. Believe it or not, it’s already been a month since we last checked in and asked you to take a quick survey to let Hakeem know what issues are on your mind. In January, the top three issues folks like you identified as priorities were: COVID-19 p…

The GOP are trying to take back the House next year.

  John xxxxxx, here’s a headline you need to see: Politico, 2/10/21 That’s right. After letting disgraced ex-president Donald Trump get away with inciting a violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, the GOP is already strategizing how they’ll take the House and Senate back in 2022. W…

Senate Republicans voted to acquit Trump, again

  John xxxxxx, For the second time in U.S. history, the Senate voted to acquit ex-president Donald Trump. We needed 17 Republican Senators to stand on the right side of history and put country over party. Only 7 did. The Republican Senators who voted to acquit could have demonstrated …

The Senate impeachment trial begins tomorrow

Add your name if you support a $15 minimum wage

  John xxxxxx, Despite the rising cost of living across the country, with rent and other bills increasing, the federal minimum wage has remained stagnant at $7.25 an hour since 2009. That’s bogus. Especially now in the middle of a pandemic that’s had devastating financial impacts, peo…

Add your name: Remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from committee assignments

Republicans are fighting Trump’s Senate impeachment trial
