IMMIGRATION REFORM

WOMEN’S RIGHTS

I believe that ALL people who in the U.S. should have a fair opportunity to achieve the American dream. Over the years, we’ve seen a influx of immigrants entering the country in hopes of a better future. Yes, immigration comes with issues from the standpoint of legal or illegal; however, we must stand present on the premise that all people are created equal!

A transformational change is the ideology we must carry to the forefront of addressing the challenges of immigration. I will continue to use litigation and policy to challenge unjust laws and policies that marginalize vulnerable immigrant communities and the systemic policies that make it impossible for immigrants and their loved ones to thrive.

By focusing on building a stronger, more inclusive immigrant justice movement and fostering intersectional alliances with other communities in order to amass the political power necessary to hold decisionmakers accountable for making policy changes real and lasting.

Lets’ engage in a narrative to shift public debate toward the notion that—no matter where a person is born or how much money they have—everyone has a stake and constructive role to play in shaping the country’s future.

HEALTH CARE

It’s the right for every woman to live free from violence, slavery, and discrimination; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn a fair and equal wage.

The right to health is an inclusive right, extending not only to timely and appropriate health care, but also to the underlying determinants of health. These include:

  • an adequate supply of safe food, nutrition and housing;

  • access to safe and potable water and adequate sanitation;

  • healthy occupational and environmental conditions; and

  • access to health-related education and information, including on sexual and reproductive health.

The right to health contains both freedoms and entitlements. Freedoms include the right to control one's health, including the right to be free from non-consensual medical treatment and experimentation. Entitlements include the right to a system of health protection (i.e. health care and the underlying social determinants of health) that provides equality of opportunity for people to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health.

The right to physical and mental health is a broad concept that can be broken down into more specific entitlements such as the rights to:

  • maternal, child and reproductive health;

  • informed consent, bodily integrity and freedom from torture, ill-treatment and harmful practices;

  • healthy natural and workplace environments;

  • the prevention, treatment and control of diseases, including access to essential medicines; and

  • access to safe and potable water.
