John,

On Day 1 back in the White House, Donald Trump wasted no time issuing an unconstitutional executive order to rip away our fundamental right to birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.

Since then, we’ve seen his far-right administration unleash ICE agents, wearing plain clothes and face coverings, on our communities, terrorizing immigrants and separating families to carry out their mass deportation plan.

I’ve fought this cruel, anti-immigrant agenda from the start, and this week, I introduced legislation to protect birthright citizenship from being illegally rolled back by Trump. If I have your support in this fight, will you rush a donation to my campaign and Justice Democrats now?

As I told The Intercept, revoking the right to birthright citizenship, which guarantees citizenship for anyone born on United States soil, is not about immigration: it’s about upholding white supremacy.

This fight is deeply personal to me, John.

I'm the proud daughter of Guatemalan immigrants. My parents came to the U.S. while my mother was pregnant with me, and they've worked their hardest to give me and my siblings a better life. In addition, my husband was a Dreamer. He came to the U.S. when he was just 14 years old, and worked constantly to help his parents make ends meet.

I’m also the first Latina ever elected to Congress from Illinois, and was the only member of Congress in a mixed-status family before my husband received his green card late last year.

Needless to say, my goal has always been to be a champion for immigrant families like mine, and this bill is the next step in our fight against an authoritarian administration’s attempt to demean and erase us.

But our movement against white supremacism requires everyday people like you stepping up, speaking out, and giving where you can to fuel our fight for justice for ALL.

With all that said, my campaign and Justice Democrats don’t take a cent from corporate PACs, so we could really use your support today in this critical moment. Please split a grassroots contribution of $5 or whatever you can — I appreciate it.
