BACKGROUND:

We deserve to live free from hate.  The Democratic-led Congress has passed 
  • HR 5 – The Equality Act 
  • HR 6 – The Dream Act 
  • HR 1585 – The Violence Against Women Act  
These bills would allow for our LGBTQ+ and immigrant family to be seen and live full lives.   
These bills would allow for the safety of women.   
But these bills languish in the Senate, held hostage by Senate Majority Leader McConnell, who prides himself on being the “grim reaper” of laws.  
We also deserve to have a lawful president.  But we have Donald Trump – who has committed impeachable offenses.  He and his administration continually obstruct justice and defy subpoenas to hide the truth.  
Congress must hold Trump accountable and this Democratic-led House must put country over party and start an impeachment inquiry immediately.  
We all deserve to live free from hate and with a lawful president.  Call Congress today to help make this a reality.
