Praising our healthcare heroes

Friend, As we continue to celebrate Women this month, I wanted to highlight the amazing work that women are doing in healthcare, especially during this pandemic. Passing the one year anniversary is a sobering feeling and it is clear that we can see the toll that this pandemic has taken …

From Shirley Chisholm to Kamala Harris

Friend, when I first came to America in the 1950s, women could not hold credit cards in their names, women could get fired for being pregnant, and there were no women sitting on the Supreme Court.  In truth, I have seen many women shatter through the glass ceiling in the fight to achiev…

Happy Women’s History Month, friend

 Friend, March marks Women’s History Month, and it’s our chance to celebrate all of the women who have had immeasurable impacts on America throughout history. We want to take a moment to highlight a few of the Caribbean-American women who have changed the political game, starting of cou…

[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…

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

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
