I ran for OC families not impeachment

Demand Stephen Miller's Resignation

Stephen Miller is unfit to be in a position of power over our nation’s immigration policies. Miller created the family separation policy that tears migrant children from their parents and locks them in cages. He parrots Trump’s attacks on the press while aggressively encouraging white national…

corporations pay $0

As the holiday season approaches, many families are struggling to make ends meet. Meanwhile, in the first year since the Trump tax law, nearly three dozen large companies reported an effective tax rate of 0% or less. This is not tax fairness. Katie has led a bipartisan effort to pressure H…

As a mom, the issue of climate change is personal. We need to act now and keep the commitments we made to our coastlines, our community, our children and the world when we signed the Paris Climate Acord. Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement is a step in the wrong dir…
