A lot of folks want to know exactly what the Trump case that I quit over was about.

It's a story that highlights the early warning signs that Trump was a far-right extremist making his way to power.

I was supposed to represent Trump in a suit against @chefjoseandres. 1/6

The two had made a deal to open one of Chef Andrés' new restaurants in Trump's DC hotel.

Once Trump announced he was running for president, and began attacking Hispanic communities with racist, dehumanizing rhetoric, Chef Andrés wanted no part in his hotel. 2/6

I wanted no part of a case that could be perceived as defending those racist comments.

It's a case I just couldn't stomach being apart of.

And that's how I got to the " So I quit" part of the story. 3/6

For the next five years after that moment, Trump's racist and dangerous rhetoric only got worse, and those who were tasked with defending him only helped our country slip further towards the brink by sitting by and doing their job. 4/6

This campaign is about doing what you know is right *because* it is right. Not just because someone tells you to do it or it polls well.

That's why I'm fighting to end felon disenfranchisement. To pass campaign finance reform. To provide paid leave for all. 5/6

So here's how you can be part of this campaign.

I'm not a career politician. I dislike like asking for money as much as anyone else.

But without grassroots donors we'll be drowned out by the money of powerful special interests. Can you chip in today? 6/6
