I find it amusing when politicians try to diminish the seriousness of our policy work, movement organizing & grassroots fundraising to “she just tweets,” as though “serious” politics is only done by begging corporate CEOs for money through wax-sealed envelopes delivered by raven
As we wrap up 2020, let’s talk about what Alexandria accomplished in her very first term in Congress:
Raised $1.25 million for frontline charities and organizations working on COVID relief in our district.
Launched a $1 million census awareness campaign to help register as many people as possible, bringing back up to $58 million to her district.
Helped deliver 80,000 meals to families in need in the district.
Raised $568,000 for grassroots organizations on the ground in Georgia who are working to take the Senate majority back from Republicans next month.
Raised more than $1.5 million for progressive candidates and swing-district House Democrats.
Introduced more amendments than 90% of other freshman lawmakers.
Crafted the Green New Deal with Senator Ed Markey, the gold standard for climate action.
Worked with the Unity Task Force to secure progressive environmental policies in the Democratic Party Platform.
Opened over 1000 cases to serve NY-14 constituents with issues like veterans benefits, Social Security, immigration visas and more.
Held monthly town halls to update constituents on her legislative agenda and community work, and take questions.
Executed tough, thorough lines of questioning in committee hearings, revealing valuable information that has been used in investigations against the Trump administration and pressuring Big Pharma execs to make drugs more affordable.
Fended off over $12M dollars in attack ads, mailers, and more to win nearly 72% of our district’s vote in 2020.
The list could go on and on. And that’s just a snapshot of our first term! We’re just getting started, and our movement is growing larger by the day.
Each and every time you donate, you grow the size and strength of our movement.
Movement building and changemaking is tough, but the good news is we aren’t alone in the work. Everything that Alexandria has accomplished, from winning an upset victory in 2018 to introducing the Green New Deal, has been made possible by generosity, hard work, and solidarity from people like you.
Thanks for all you do,
Team AOC
