Thanks for supporting #AJR5 by @votealexlee.bsky.social! We need our state and local leaders to do everything they can to protect immigrants--now more than ever!

Screen with all California State Assemblymembers listed and 58 voted in support of AJR 5, 1 Republican voted no, and three AAPI Republicans (Chen, Ta, and Tangipa) abstained from voting in support of birthright citizenship.

One last AYE vote snuck in, so the preliminary vote on #AJR5 was 58-1 in favor!

Floor vote on AJR 5, showing Democratic Assemblymembers voting in favor of AJR 5, AAPI Republicans--including Chen, Ta, Tangipa--abstaining, and one Republican (DeMaio) voting no.

Check out how your CA Assemblymember voted on #AJR5 (#birthrightcitizenship resolution). I'm disappointed in AAPI Assemblymembers Chen, Ta, and Tangipa for abandoning AAPI communities with their abstention. You can still vote yes until session closes today. Will you stand with AAPI communities?

Thank you to Asm Ramos for your passionate support of #AJR5!

Thank you @matthaneysf.bsky.social for highlighting the contributions of a Chinese American from SF Chinatown, Wong Kim Ark. His SCOTUS case est that ALL children born in the US, regardless of their parent's immigration status, ARE US CITIZENS. And thanks to the #JewishCaucus for supporting #AJR5!

Thank you to @votealexlee.bsky.social & the API Legislative Caucus for leading #AJR5 to affirm CA's commitment to #birthrightcitizenship. Grateful to the #BlackCaucus & #LGBTCaucus (Asm Elhawary) for speaking abt American history & values! Asm Carrillo & #LatinoCaucus call Trump's EO morally wrong

The San Francisco man whose case established birthright citizenship Wong took his fight to the Supreme Court amid efforts to deny citizenship to Chinese people.

Appreciate the chance to talk to @axios.com San Francisco about #WongKimArk & why #birthrightcitizenship matters to everyone. @caasanfrancisco.bsky.social is sponsoring #AJR5, a statewide resolution to affirm birthright citizenship in the 14th Amdt & honor Wong Kim Ark! www.axios.com/local/san-fr...

Love seeing all the @caasanfrancisco.bsky.social, @stopaapihate.org, and @aapiequityalliance.bsky.social staff in Sacramento advocating for #ImmigrantRights including #AJR5 (#birthrightcitizenship #bornintheUSA) by @votealexlee.bsky.social, @matthaneysf.bsky.social & the API Legislative Caucus.

Thank you @votealexlee.bsky.social, @matthaneysf.bsky.social, and the API Caucus for introducing #AJR5 which affirms the state's commitment to #birthrightcitizenship in the 14th Amdt and honors #WongKimArk. Regardless of color, class, or creed, we are #BornInTheUSA, so we're American.

Big thank you to @votealexlee.bsky.social as well as the API Legislative Caucus and @matthaneysf.bsky.social for authoring #AJR5, a resolution to affirm #birthrightcitizenship & honor #WongKimArk! We're #BornInTheUSA, and we're American--no matter our color, creed, or parents' immigration status!
