Dr. King was assassinated on this day in 1968. Let us carry on his messages by organizing our communities and empowering new leaders who believe in equal protection under the law.

I want to acknowledge the way that Dr. King made the civil rights movement and the labor movement a big tent that all people can gather under to fight for social, economic, and racial justice.

Today, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy. Dr. King believed in a world where we as a community serve one another and support each other.

When I am in Congress, I will remember what the residents in the Lowcountry are telling me - they want a New American Dream.
That’s why I’m running, because we can afford to set our people up for a good life when everyone pays their fair share.

Many of them are very concerned about the way the Trump administration is overspending on unconstitutional foreign policy, as well as the ways major corporations are paying less in taxes than we are.

They shared that they want to see the money that we are investing in ICE and bad foreign policy be redirected towards safety nets that would stimulate our economy and protect working families. I agree; we have the money for a new American dream! Let’s make it happen together.

Last week, some wonderful Mount Pleasant and Awendaw residents invited me to come and listen to them about what they want to change for the better. They gave me a chance to share my vision for the Lowcountry, and are eager to work together to fight for something better.

MAYRA RIVERA VAZQUEZ FOR CONGRESS South Carolina's First Congressional District mayra4congress.com||info@mayra4congress.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 1, 2026 Rivera Vazquez Condemns Trump's Attack on the 14th Amendment as Supreme Court Hears Birthright Citizenship Case “No president has the power to rewrite the Constitution by executive order. This case is about whether we keep our promise to every child born on American soil.” BEAUFORT, S.C. — As the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in Trump v. Barbara, the most significant constitutional challenge to birthright citizenship in American history; Mayra Rivera Vazquez, Democratic candidate for South Carolina’s First Congressional District, issued the following statement condemning the Trump administration’s effort to strip citizenship from children born on U.S. soil. “The 14th Amendment is not a loophole. It is a promise,” said Rivera Vazquez. “Written in the aftermath of the Civil War to ensure that no government, not a court, not a president, not a king, could ever again decide that some people born on American soil are less than citizens. That promise is on trial today. “I am running for Congress in South Carolina’s First District. My community knows what it means to be told you don’t fully belong here. We know what it means to have your dignity questioned, your legitimacy challenged, your children’s future put on the line. That is exactly what this executive order does and it is exactly what the 14th Amendment was written to prevent.
Every federal court that has reviewed this order has found it unconstitutional. Legal scholars across the political spectrum have called it a rewriting of the Constitution itself. The plain text of the amendment is unambiguous: all persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens. There is nothing ambiguous about that. There is nothing to reinterpret. If this administration succeeds, it will not just affect future children, it will cast a shadow over the citizenship of millions of Americans going back decades, creating the kind of permanent underclass this nation fought a Civil War to abolish. I stand with the families whose children’s citizenship hangs in the balance today. I will carry this fight to Congress, where I will oppose any effort, legislative or otherwise, to undermine the 14th Amendment. The floor of our democracy is not negotiable.”
I have issued a statement regarding the Birthright Citizenship Case being heard by the Supreme Court today. See the full statement below.

Service and Skill. That's what should be considered in a promotion. It's not a meritocracy if you're excluding some of your best people.

In any other administration, this would trigger oversight hearings and accountability, but it's not even front page news. We must win the midterms, so that we can provide a steadying check against the dystopian plot twist we've found ourselves in.

Screenshot of article headline from Newsweek with the bombshell information
Cruelty, or incompetence, or both? ICE has been using a faulty justification for showing up at immigration and family courts. Turns out the memo from the DOJ allowed them to detain folks at criminal courts only, and the DOJ "deeply regrets the error".

Screenshot of Trump’s post stating that he's glad Robert Mueller is dead and that he can no longer hurt innocent people.
What a dishonorable post. Mueller was a Marine, a prosecutor, and a public servant who upheld the law. Celebrating his passing disrespects every hardworking American who serves their country with integrity.
