So many “firsts” from #EmergeAlums across the country this year! Each of them will bring their unique life experiences to their roles representing their communities. We applaud these alums for being the first, but not the last to hold these seats!

We stand with Emerge alum Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, today and everyday.
Today’s decision is disappointing. I am not in this fight only for myself, and I’m concerned that this decision will simply embolden the administration.

This case is not over. I am committed to protecting my community, our people, and our country.

There are now 7,000 #EmergeAlums!

If you shook hands with each alum for 5 seconds, it would take you 9+ hours. Whether through a state affiliate or taking a national training, our alums have taken the integral first step to support their communities.

Are you one? Comment below!
