[SIGN ON] Raise the minimum wage

Team -- No one working 40 hours a week should be living below the poverty line. America is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, and yet our minimum wage has not risen to reflect the cost of living in the United States. Wage work has a long history within New York’s 9th District, a…

Reimagining immigration

Friend, On Thursday I introduced the bicameral U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, a bill that will help us reimagine immigration in this county, a 30 year long awaited update. When President Biden took office, he made a commitment to not only roll back the cruel and inhumane immigration pra…

Friend, I hope you and your family are safe and well. While we are only in the second month of 2021, so much has happened here in New York City, across the nation, and in Washington. As Democrats, we not only have been dealing with the aftermath of the Capitol insurrection and second im…

Re: Yvette's record on immigration

Dear Team, I wanted to make sure you saw this email. Immigration is a top priority for Yvette, and she has been working to push reform through Congress. Now with President Biden in office, we're hopeful that not only will we pass sweeping immigration reform but also COVID-19 relief. If you…

Yvette’s work on immigration

Dear friend – I’ve watched for years as Yvette has worked hard to better America’s immigration policy. My immigration story is not so different from many others. When I first came to America from Jamaica, I was a student looking for higher education. I came with aspirations of finding a…

Reforming our immigration policy

Friend, On January 20th, I watched as we inaugurated President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. It was a historic moment and a breath of fresh air after four long years under the Trump administration.  And now President Biden has gotten to work. In the first hours of his pr…

Thank You & Happy Black History Month

Friend, I wanted to be the first to let you know we hit our ambitious end of month goal of $5,000! I know we would not have been able to hit this milestone without you, team, so thank you. Today is also the first day of Black History Month; focusing on Black Family, representation, ide…

Hi friend – tonight at midnight is our first end of month deadline of 2021. My team has crunched the numbers and we set our goal at $5,000. As of now, we’re almost to our goal. In fact, we are only $237 short. If everyone reading this email chipped in $20 right now, we’d hit this goal…

Times of challenge and controversy

Hey friend - today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and all he has done for this country.  Dr. King was a leader in our nation at a time when speaking out was dangerous. He knew all too well that nothing would change unless he ensured that voices like John Lewi…

I’m Voting for Impeachment... AGAIN

Team, We’ve seen time and time again members of the Republican party bolstering Donald Trump. For over four years, they have stood behind him as he screamed divisive and dangerous sentiment, feeding into a great rift in our country. And now, after an attack on the Capitol, we’re seeing…

The coup at the Capitol

Friend, Yesterday was a dark day in the history of America.  I condemn those who have put our democracy at risk. Not only was yesterday’s assault on the Capitol a coup on our election process, but a coup on our republic. Fear will not dictate who the American people choose as their Pre…

This is ridiculous

Team, We can’t believe we’re sending this email, but this is just getting ridiculous. Let us break it down: First: Trump sowed seeds of doubt in the legitimate presidential election by calling foul play and having his cronies file lawsuit after lawsuit in battleground states. Then: Re…

Friend, Today, on New Year's Eve, we reflect on the past year. Personally, I have been reflecting on how much change can happen in just 365 days. At the beginning of 2020, we didn’t know that there would be a global pandemic, not to mention that one of the most consequential presidentia…

Hey friend, What a year this has been. I don’t think that anyone could have seen the twist and turns that we have endured as a country. Faced with uncertainty, many Americans stepped up and showed the true power of what we can do when we work together.  But as we approach the end of th…
