We are proud to stand with the new Congress and leaders including Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib. Our campaign demands immediate closure of the concentration camps along the border and those being prepared on military bases. We demand that children in private contracting facilities around the country are returned to their families. We demand humane asylum policies and we demand that Democrats return their contributions from the prison PACs that are greasing our slide into further depths of American fascism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to our united efforts, today we will cross 1,000 unique donors to our 2020 campaign. This is the grassroots momentum that will allow us to build the campaign that will liberate San Francisco from more than 30 years of Pelosi\u2019s fundraising-first neoliberal rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are growing as more Americans wake up to the Speaker’s dedication to the nightmare status quo.

Predictably, “Pelosi\u2019s campaign did not return a request for comment from The Hill.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
