I have an incredibly supportive family.

Districts are really different across the country, but the more that people on the progressive Left show power at the ballot box - and reclassify some of the ideas that we've called 'progressive,' but that are really mainstream ideas, like college for all - the better.

We must be clear: Donald Trump is lying when he conflates immigrants coming across the border with MS-13 gangs.

Gays and lesbians gained rights in this country though activism and organizing, creating political space and demanding change so that lawmakers and justices could do what they knew was right. That organizing allowed Americans to get to know gays and lesbians as our daughters and sons, our neighbors, and our friends.

I have my chops in organizing, and I know how to create political space through movement building.

Individuals whose asylum claims have been accepted have gone on to become professors, soldiers in our military, artists, and more.

Trump has hated Amazon for a long time, and I think that that came out in many interviews that he's done with 'Vanity Fair' and with others.

Certainly there are many Congress members who have been arrested in the past on immigration issues and will continue to because we all understand that staying silent is not an option.

I'm conscious of my race and ethnicity in the legislature - it's hard not to be.

When bosses, leaders, and powerful men and women ignore or deny the accounts of harassment victims, they reinforce the idea that harassers are playing the game as they should and that the rest of us should fall in line.

Getting a college degree used to be free or low cost because, as a society, we saw providing higher education to young people as an investment - in them and in the future of our own country.

Civil rights icons, famous journalists, big-time movie producers may all have credits to their name that we can recognize and be grateful for, but their record of good works cannot excuse their harassment of women.

We the people are sick and tired of the criminalization of immigrants, sick to our hearts to see Trump's family separation policies rip families apart across our country.

The fact that the immigration issue was the first thing Trump took aim at was a good thing for me, because it's what I spent my life working on. It became a place to see what we've become as a country, and how overreach can actually serve to bring those of us on the Left and Democrats together.

Rather than name-calling and arguing about whether it is appropriate or not to employ radical tactics, we progressives need to start listening to each other.

My mother, with a Master's in English Literature, taught me to appreciate language and that words matter.

There is no question that we, as a country, need to deal with economic inequality across the country, and we need to make sure we have good-paying jobs for everyone.

Immigrants contribute more than they take. It is a lie that they take public benefits, because they don't qualify for just about every benefit.

It is always easier to have somebody to blame, but immigrants are not the cause of the country's economic woes.

I am on the side of the working person across the country.

We on the Left are very good at criticizing people, but we need to build the base to pull people to the Left.

Can you be a progressive if you're anti-immigrant but pro-choice? No!

If you look at the future of the Democratic Party, things like raising the minimum wage - Democrats need to get behind raising the minimum wage and be clear on where we stand on trade deals.

As we say we fight for working people, we have to make sure our policies reflect that.

I want to remind women of color out there to stand your ground, and don't ever be afraid to speak up.

After 9/11, I had just become an American citizen, and I remember sitting in front of my TV set watching the news of the attacks, in tears. I remember thinking to myself, 'Nothing is ever going to be the same in this country for people who look like me.'
