“For the families and victims of senseless gun violence, change can’t wait. For our brothers and sisters behind the wall, change can’t wait. For our immigrants worried about the knock on the door, change can’t wait. To women whose rights are perpetually under attack, change can’t wait. To the residents of the 7th congressional district, change can’t wait. To the many families like my own, who grew up feeling like it was us versus the world, that the government didn’t reflect us, didn’t represent us, didn’t advocate for us, didn’t see us, change can’t wait.”
