We have a once in a generation chance to pass legislation that would change the lives of millions of families in our country.

And one single person, fueled by dark corporate money, is taking that chance away from us.

He’d rather invest in his coal companies than our families.

IT’S OFFICIAL: Today, I applied to be on the ballot for the #2022DemPrimary I couldn’t have done it w/o the support of my community who walked & knocked & talked side-by-side with me so we could get our signatures to be in the running! Muchas gracias #TX28! Me siento muy excited!

@DanielDiaz956 Is there a time table for when LUPE will be talking about how sits at the board for LUPE Votes? From talking to a few sources, @cristela9 and Martha Sanchez are on the board. Who are the other people and is there a reason this information is private?

Interesting tip I got from a reader is that there is criticism in the #RGV that The Portales Pulga does not pay a living wage to their workers. The same critique was also aimed at the LUPE organization. Going to be an interesting point of contention. #WeThePueblo #RGV #LUPEVotes

Oh, you aren’t comforted by the granddaughter of Cesar Chavez working in the WH? Or the folks who used to work for immigration advocacy orgs and on other campaigns that Latino orgs were lauding when they were given jobs in the Biden WH?

Not hyperbole. Not gaslighting. Truths. Because @POTUS is allowing the horrific Remain in Mexico policy-which is racist and xenophobic-children will be assaulted. Women will be raped. Ppl will be kidnapped. This is on YOU both. @VP

To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. It is our collective actions that bring about real long term change.
