My 10 year old daughter Viviana and I were so hyped the night before @AOC's June '18 primary race, watching her FB live streams & following her since. We're NYers but migrated abroad over 12 years ago bc no healthcare & few prospects despite our crazy expensive Master's degree. 
As an educator, I've introduced @AOC 2 multiple groups of students from every continent & proudly explained how Queens, NY is the most diverse place on planet. Showed her "Message from the Future" as me & my Geography students choked back tears of hope & celebrated her "realness"
The political is always personal. I would've died had I not emigrated to Taiwan & received excellent single-payer coverage & medical attention that I was denied throughout my 20s while I was bartending & waiting tables in Manhattan.
When I reach out to my neighbors, I keep connecting with people who are essential workers, who are literally putting their lives on the line every single day. Many do not have masks, childcare, and some don’t even have health insurance!

I’m so angry! NO HEALTH INSURANCE, no childcare, no protections or safety net while they risk their lives for us!
Every. Single. Person. Needs. Cash. I’m calling for $2000/mo until 1 year after this crisis ends. No means testing.

We need to THANK and reward our essential workers rather than keep them at risk and make their lives even more dangerous and difficult during a crisis!
