President Biden has completely taken control of the border narrative today. He did so with facts, centering human stories, and laying out his plan and solutions to fix what is broken.
As a Columbine survivor, incredibly moved to see my former boss Kamala Harris answer a student question referencing the 20th anniversary of Columbine with the most ambitious plan to address gun violence of any 2020 candidate so far
Kamala Harris didn’t just vote NO on Kelly, she was on the floor whipping votes and urging her colleagues to do the same...in her FIRST month in the Senate. Imagine what she’d do in her first 100 days as President.
New Latino ad for Kamala Harris just dropped. The Vice President has been in and worked with Latino communities her entire life. Watch this space - Latinos are going to turn out big time for the VP Harris come November.
I am a Columbine Survivor, and today, I am also deeply proud to work for our Vice President.
Thank you
@KamalaHarris
for your leadership on gun safety reform, and for always centering the stories of survivors, families, victims and communities.
To the families and survivors of Columbine: Nobody should have to endure what you experienced 25 years ago.
The trauma of that day will never completely heal. I am grateful to Heather and so many survivors who dedicate their lives to helping communities recover and stay safe.
“l’ll never give up fighting for our immigrant families. That means a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, our TPS holders, our essential workers and our farm workers.. I will work with anyone, ANYONE, to ensure they are treated with dignity.”

: We need immigration reform. It’s incredibly important for our state but also for country. We’ve got tens of thousands of Dreamers in Arizona who I look at as American as my own two kids.”
67% of Arizona Latino voters broke for Kelly over anti-immigrant Masters.
VP had a very strong trip to the border. She heard directly from nonprofits and leaders who have led on this issue w dignity and compassion, and she met w children from Central America to hear their story.
Pay attention to the work, not the manufactured attacks.
Here’s a cheat sheet to avoid lazy takes on Latinos.
✅Biden won Latinos in FL but white voters turned out for Trump in big numbers.
✅Hello! AZ is now blue state. 70-80% of Latinos for Biden.
✅CO is blue. Bye Cory. Historic Latino turnout.

This editorial is a testament to Kamala Harris’s long record of standing with and for “la comunidad latina”, and as a fighter for immigrant communities. A translation of some of the highlights- [thread]
A nationally known Latino newspaper is endorsing

families. Wow. Has this ever happened before?

Grateful and honored to step into this new role with such an amazing team. Now is the time for bold, inclusive work to transform our immigration system into one that is centered on humanity, fairness and shared prosperity. Let’s get to work.
We're excited to announce today that
@SergGonzales
will become the new Executive Director of the Immigration Hub after serving as Deputy Director since 2018.
See full statement here:
“Harris is a tremendous asset in mobilizing the Democratic coalition. Her focus on visiting college campuses, courting young voters of color and women voters, and calling out the extremist MAGA agenda has been a hugely powerful too”
The VP is putting in the hard work to actually get at the fundamental challenges driving migration. Dont be distracted by these bad faith demands. If a border photo op would solve the issue the GOP would have fixed it many times times over.
“Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting the state's largest Historically Black College or University (HBCU) Friday to headline a get-out-the-vote event at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg County.”
"I've often said that when you look at immigration in particular, cruelty has been the point of this administration."
@SergRGonzales
on the Trump Administration's child separation policy.
#TheReidOut
Today the VP 1) reminded us of the cruelty and chaos of Trump era 2) talked solutions and how Biden admin is driving progress while acknowledging much remains to be done on immigration 3) centered human stories and voices.
This is how you deal w GOP scare tactics and disinfo.
I am proud to launch Students for Biden-Harris.
We’re ready to mobilize young voters across the country in the fight for our fundamental rights and freedoms.

Huge editorial of support for Kamala from La Opinion, one of the nation’s leading Spanish newspapers.
“Kamala Harris deserves our support and that of our community at these crucial moments in our history. We ask Joe Biden to choose Kamala Harris.”
Family separation, kids and families in cages, incarcerating pregnant women, forced sterilizations, trying to deport Dreamers. These people are monsters and the we must kick them out on Nov. 3. Vote.

@SergRGonzales
says it’s ‘no question’ that the Trump Administration’s child separation policy is a human rights abuse:
"I've often said that when you look at immigration in particular, cruelty has been the point of this administration."
“VP Kamala Harris recently addressed more than 3,000 women in a “Sisters United: Taking Back Our Rights” online rally, an effort to bolster politicians they believe will push back against.. Republican legislation that curtails women’s reproductive rights”
For our Latino communities, so much is at stake in this election. Thank you

@MichaelBennet
is a national leader who knows how to a) gets results and b) knows how to communicate those results by connecting with voters i.e. Latinos, suburban moms, rural and business, etc. across the state. Dems would be smart to copy his playbook ahead of 2024.
Dreamers are our neighbors, classmates, and loved ones—their ambition and aspiration power our economy and our entire country.
That’s why President Biden and I took action to keep families together.
Let’s be very clear: we knew the fight to ensure permanent protections for undocumented communities would be a long process. We have prepared for every scenario and this fight is still very much alive. We are not leaving 2021 without getting this done. Si se puede!

It was an honor to participate in this meeting with you about the fierce urgency of now Madam VP. Thank you for your continued leadership in fighting for justice by creating a path to citizenship this year.
Dreamers serve in the military and on the frontlines, earn degrees, and lead companies. They should not live with such uncertainty. Congress must create a pathway to citizenship through reconciliation or other means. I met with Dreamers and advocates to discuss the path forward.

Young people are fired up 🔥 and ready to re-elect strong Democratic leadership!
@VP
is one of the strongest leaders i’ve ever known and worked for. She has high expectations of herself and others serving the people, bc she grew up understanding how policy can change lives for good or bad. Let the haters hate, she’ll keep going.
There’s no shortage of people willing to throw shade anonymously and seemingly no shortage of publications willing to write it up and recycle beltway gossip. Those still questioning the VP’s role and impact are choosing not to see what is right in front of them.
Vice President Harris has always stood with the LGBTQ community, and I will always stand with her. Proud to work to re-elect a President and VP who through word and policy take us forward, not back.
WILMINGTON, Del. — Last month from campaign headquarters, the Washington Blade spoke with Sergio Gonzales, senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden-Harris reelection campaign, along with senior campaign adviser Becca Siegel.
Happy Birthday to our MVP, who inspires those of us who work for her to wake up every day determined to fight harder, think smarter and do more to serve the people. We are grateful for your leadership.

“Harris’ trip to Arizona, Nevada and Colorado was intended to hammer home President Joe Biden’s State of the Union message with Latino voters and shore up their support.”
“One thing is crystal clear: Hispanic voters support permanent protections for Dreamers and other undocumented communities. 78 percent of Latino voters in battleground states say Congress should act to protect Dreamers if a federal court overturns DACA.”
The Biden-Harris campaign making historic investments to talk to Black and Latino voters early about historic policy wins for Black and Latino communities.
New: The Biden campaign is launching radio ads on Black & Hispanic-owned stations in battleground states.
It’s the earliest paid investment in Black & Hispanic radio for a Dem reelection campaign ever & part of a multimillion $ effort to court these blocs.

@leedsgarcia
is a force of nature and a force for good. Her appointment to an already all star team shows how serious this WH is about fixing the mess left behind by the prior admin, and creating something truly different and better. Congratulations Alida!!
Lately, Vice President Harris has been the administration’s point person on domestic priorities, talking up key issues that are bound to inflame the GOP, including reproductive rights and gun violence.
Vice President Harris on the 2024 election: We are going to win. It’s going to be a lot of work, and everyone’s going to have to participate. This is a democracy
La Opinion once wrote that the VP “is an important ally of the Latino community.” This interview reflects her continued commitment to Latinos and Latino families. Highly rec taking a listen.

’s one-on-one interview with
@VP
Kamala Harris on
@LatinoUSA
, produced by me 📻
They discuss everything from the Biden-Harris administration’s outreach to Latinos and Latinas, reproductive rights, immigration & much more…
The VP was literally born and raised in a border state that she represented as AG and U.S. Senator. She has been to border communities many times. None of this matters to Rs attacking her on a situation they supercharged w 4 years of chaotic and failed policies.
"Listen. I've been to the border before and I will go again.
But when I'm in Guatemala, dealing with root causes, I think we should have a conversation about what's going on in Guatemala."

On the cusp of Kamala Harris becoming a Vice President of many firsts, big shoutout to
@RohiniKos
. She has been at the Senator's side from the get-go, offering wise counsel and brilliantly navigating deep and changing waters. All while being an amazing mom of 3. Here's to you.
Per campaign, Kamala Harris will also make remarks tonight, ahead of Joe Biden's primetime speech.
For context, it's not typical for the VP nom to make remarks (Biden himself didn't in 08 and 12), but Harris as the first WOC on a major party ticket, is a historic moment.
We will always stand with farm workers,the lifeblood that keeps us fed and our country running. Justice has never come easy. This was true over 50 years ago when my grandpa Corky marched with Cesar as it is now. Only through our collective power can we force change. And we will.
Since Day 1, the work of our We Are Home partners has led to major contributions to our collective movement for meaningful, lasting immigration reform. The fight is far from over. We stand united and committed to winning for our immigrant families.

Its been 20 years since Columbine. 230,000 students have experienced gun violence in schools since. There have been more than 250 mass shootings this year alone. Trump and Republicans not only fail to act, but pour gasoline the epidemic with xenophobia and racism. VOTE THEM OUT.
