Home is here.

In a 5-4 decision, the United States Supreme Court has officially struck down Trump’s attempt to overturn DACA, and restored all provisions of the 2012 decision. We can’t overstate how incredible this moment is for our nation. In a 5-4 decision, the United States Supreme Court has officiall…

Protecting the rights of DC residents

The right to protest is fundamental in American democracy. But many leaders in D.C. could not stand up for their residents because D.C. lacks many of the rights and powers that another state would have. Allowing Trump free reign over almost 700,000 people is unjustifiable. As Americans from…

Good news and bad news

We can’t leave anything up to chance in this election. At the end of the month, our FEC numbers become public – and you can be sure that the press and especially our Trump-supporting opponent will be watching. We have some good news and bad news. First, the good news: since our email about r…

No PAC money

Every day in Congress, Ro is advancing progressive policies that center the struggles of working people. From the introduction of the PEACE Act which would help prevent use of force by police to legislation that would stop the escalation of war against Iran, Ro’s is unafraid to back down from any…

Can we ask you something important?

June is a critical month for our progressive campaign. In just under three weeks, we’ll hit our next FEC fundraising deadline — meaning our opponents and the press will see just how much we’ve raised. June is a critical month for our progressive campaign. In just under three weeks, we’ll hi…

The new era of campaigning

Every day in Congress, Ro’s doing his best to boost the voices of the people of California’s 17th District and progressives across the country. But in the era of COVID-19, hearing those voices has gotten a little bit harder. One of the fundamental values of Ro’s campaign has always been this:…

1st Amendment

On June 1st, thirty minutes before DC’s curfew, Barr ordered an escalation of police force to clear protestors on a public street outside of the White House. That’s not just an abuse of power, it’s a violation of our constitutional rights. I’m shocked and disappointed. Peaceful protesting is …

June

This month is critical for us. June is our last chance to show some strong fundraising numbers ahead of the Q2 FEC deadline, and you know that our opponents will be watching what we post. It is clear that our nation is in desperate need of progressive solutions to our current crises. From pan…

Lethal force should never be the first course of action

The facts don’t lie: Police are statistically more likely to employ the use of force when it comes to Black and Brown Americans than anyone else. Allowing that to continue is a failure of governance and leadership, full stop. Black Americans are just 13% of the population in the United States…

You can be the tipping point

We’re still running about $2,607 behind our fundraising goal. These goals are critical to meet because they help support our organizing, staff, and overall reelection efforts for Ro. We have bad news and good news. First, the bad news: We’re still running about $2,607 behind our fundraising…

Running behind on this goal

COVID-19 has radically changed the face of campaigning. Now, we have to spend more of our resources on digitally contacting folks to spread Ro’s progressive message, and help ensure his reelection. We’ll get straight to the point here. We’re about $3,102 away from our end-of-month goal with …

Keeping Ro in it

Unlike the vast majority of Ro’s colleagues, our campaign doesn’t accept a single cent from PACs of any kind. Here’s what the work of a legislator like that looks like: We know that around this time of the month, you’re getting a lot of emails asking you to support a campaign. In just a momen…

$2,000 every month

Stagnant wages

Look: Everyone deserves a living wage. Especially in the age of COVID-19, we can see that many of the jobs that do pay minimum wage are critical to the functioning of our society. The United States hasn’t raised the minimum wage in over 10 years. You know what hasn’t stayed the same since 20…

Our responsibility as a nation

Our entire way of life revolves around these folks, our essential workers, risking their lives to provide support for the rest of us. They have our backs. Now, we have to have theirs. 1 in 7 essential workers doesn’t have health insurance. In a modern society, that’s wrong. But in the midst …

If you support these ideals...

Ro’s not afraid to speak truth to power, and he’s not about to allow Republicans to bail out special interests while leaving working families in limbo. That’s why he’s standing up for recurring, cash payments to every family and an Essential Worker’s Bill of Rights to center our relief efforts wh…
