Thank you, Angela! This was a massive coalition of folks across the state led by DV survivors. It was an honor to learn from and work alongside them.

My little sister is a childhood cancer survivor.

We are well aware that she only survived her diagnosis of Stage 3 Lymphoma because programs like this one funded research to find a cure.

Why are we punishing kids with cancer to appease the whims of a billionaire?

Only in a country that prioritizes profits over lives do doctors recommend people worsen the backlog in the ER with fake symptoms to convince insurance companies to cover lifesaving surgeries.

Our health care system is fundamentally broken.

The Trump administration will prioritize gun industry profits over our lives. It is critical to support gun violence prevention organizations dedicated to investing in young people to create change.

The organizing team brought young people from across the country to DC to push Congress for an accountability vote on the federal Assault Weapons Ban.

And the communications team helped convey our wins to the press and public.

Along the way, I have learned so much and made lifelong friends. (3/4)
