🗳️Access to free & fair elections is the cornerstone of our democracy––yet this year’s federal funding cuts could lead to fewer poll workers, long voting lines, and lower voter turnout.

Senator Feinstein was a towering figure whose impact will be felt for generations to come.

Renaming the Steuart Street Post Office after her is one of many ways we will continue to honor her trailblazing legacy.

The Arizona Supreme Court just allowed a draconian abortion ban dating back to 1864 to be enforced.

Delays in processing DACA renewals can have serious negative consequences for DACA recipients, who already face tremendous uncertainty.

This is unacceptable.

USCIS must work to address these processing delays so DACA recipients do not lose their jobs or livelihoods.
