Statement from Chair @RepGraceMeng on President Trump’s Executive Order to Dissolve @WHIAANHPI:

[Alton Wang @altonwang]

Birthright citizenship is not something that is up for negotiation nor is there any ambiguity under the law.

The Constitution makes it abundantly clear: if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen of the United States.

[Alton Wang @altonwang]

During a crisis like the wildfires we’re fighting right now in the LA area — it is critical that we don’t spread rampant misinformation.

It’s too easy to click and share — but take a second to make sure what you’re sharing is actually factually accurate.

Nation and party over self -- that is what a lifetime of service looks like. @JoeBiden has delivered one of the most consequential agendas to serve working people and investing in our communities of any presidency -- thank you, Mr. President.

[Common Cause United @CCStaffUnion]

We are thrilled to announce that the members of Common Cause United have unanimously voted to ratify our first Collective Bargaining Agreement at Common Cause.

Our members made this possible. We are grateful to have earned a contract we can all support. Forward!

[Common Cause @CommonCause]

In 2019, we predicted the Rucho v. Common Cause decision "gave the green light to the most extreme partisan gerrymanders." Today, SCOTUS hid behind the decision to silence Black voters.

We the People are united against gerrymandering. We demand fair maps. https://t.co/NtQsXbO7YO

[Common Cause Florida @commoncausefl]

While we carefully analyze the ruling in Common Cause Florida v Byrd to determine what it means for Floridians, we are disappointed in the court's decision to deny Black voters their right to full representation.
