In Sept 2019, alone with @Alyssa_Milano and @morethanmySLE we met with 17+ members of Congress, to let them know about the Tanton Network and explain how they had the immigration debate on lockdown.

I've watched some version of the #DREAMAct pass many times in the last 15 yrs, w/Lucy's hand always ready to pull away the football as Charlie Brown makes yet another run at it. But I keep watching.

We're on a press call! With @JoaquinCastrotx @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @SenatorMenendez @SenatorDurbin @NydiaVelazquez, DACA recipient Luz Chavez Gonzales, TPS holder Elizabeth Valencia, on one year anniversary of #DreamandPromiseAct
@JoaquinCastrotx @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @SenatorMenendez @SenatorDurbin @NydiaVelazquez .@JoaquinCastrotx: This is a manufactured crisis of cruelty. Congress does not need to wait for SCOTUS to determine the future of Dreamers. Their lives have been in limbo for too long. We must put pressure on Trump & Rs to do the right thing.
.@SpeakerPelosi: Millions of immigrants, including hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients, are risking heir lives on the front lines of the pandemic. They deserve our support. This moment highlights a need for justice in America, including justice for our immigrants.

Federal investigators to examine equipment from 2016 N.C. election amid renewed fears of Russian hacking
Hackers could not directly alter vote totals by breaching poll books.
