Angela Gonzales-Torres for LA and US

Hi Friends,

Los Angeles has been invaded by Trump's troops while a Congressional district in its heart (your district, CA-34) is "represented" by a Democrat named Jimmy Gomez who has broken his campaign promises, taken piles of corporate PAC money, been funded by for-profit prison companies running ICE prisons, and fended off decent challengers thanks to millions of dollars from AIPAC.

Now you have a chance to elect a real progressive, something most of the country can only envy. Angela Gonzales-Torres is challenging Gomez in the Democratic primary.

You can volunteeer for her campaign here.

Angela Gonzales-Torres' platform includes:

  • expanding emergency rental assistance and housing vouchers, and supporting community land trusts and rapid rehousing programs;
  • a Guaranteed Basic Income pilot for working families, stronger protections for gig workers, expanded leave and childcare support;
  • Medicare for All;
  • a Green New Deal;
  • fully funding early childhood and special education, canceling student debt, and making public college tuition-free;
  • a pathway to citizenship, expanded services for mixed-status households, and investments in legal aid and community integration;
  • ending the blank checks for war, bombs, and weapons, with that money being re-invested in communities;
  • an immediate arms embargo, and a massive influx of humanitarian aid to end the genocide and deliver on the promise of Palestinian freedom and self-determination.

We need Angela in Congress. Chip in here.
