Alex Padilla is the proud son of Mexican immigrants, and he learned everything he knows about work and opportunity from his parents.

Like many California Latinos of his generation, Alex’s political consciousness was forged by Proposition 187 — the 1994 measure that would have cut off undocumented immigrants from public education and non-emergency health care. California voters approved it, but thankfully the courts threw it out.

This was just the first of many issues that molded Alex into the person we know today. And like many of us, Alex also knows the impact that student loan debt has on a person’s ability to take part in higher education. He can relate to these issues because he’s lived them, and he’s taking that experience to the Senate to fight for us.

Every Californian deserves to have the opportunity to succeed, and the best way we can do that is by passing a bold, progressive agenda that includes:

• Passing Medicare for All
• Enacting A Green New Deal
• Reforming our immigration system

But in order to deliver on these issues, we need your help. We need to send an unmistakable message to Congress that these progressive actions are a top priority. Which is why we have to ask:

If you are able, will you make a $3 donation to this movement for change? It’s going to take a massive people-powered effort to organize and defend the dream and we would be honored to have your support.

If you’ve stored your info with ActBlue, we’ll process your contribution instantly:

Alex knows the power of community, of organizing to make a difference. And he will take those principles to the Senate where he will fight for real, meaningful change on behalf of Californians and the millions of families who are facing the same struggles Alex and his family did.

Thank you for your support and stay tuned for more about what’s next, we are going to need you with us.
