A state representative just implied that new arrivals will cause another 9/11. This sort of rhetoric is xenophobic and dangerous. Everyone in this country except for the indigenous is an immigrant or the descendant of immigrants. Immigrants make our communities great.

I enthusiastically voted yes for this bill in committee, after more than 50 people who testified, it’s much needed for all of us to have access to healthcare and for our families to have access to solutions that work for them ❤️

It’s almost like people need insurance for their families? And need to to be paid to be able to be engaged in politics? Interesting, maybe the Republican Party should be paying a wage to their chair 👀
