She understands that you can't say you promote civil rights if you are silent when those rights are being crushed around you. Always a champion of Latinos, working people, union workers.

DC @mayorbowser essentially inviting federal law enforcement to remain indefinitely is an absolute disgrace. If she is uninterested in doing the bare minimum to defend our residents against harassment, racial profiling, random stops, and being disappeared on our streets she should resign immediately
