| Dear Katy, Last night, I confronted Speaker Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco to demand that she use her power to impeach Donald Trump now.  Click here to watch and share the video. Speaker Pelosi received a lifetime achievement award last night at the San Francisco Democratic Party's "Heart of the Resistance" dinner. While more than 100 activists from CREDO, By the People, CAIR, Courage Campaign, Mujeres Unidas y Activas, Need to Impeach and other groups rallied outside of the event, I confronted Speaker Pelosi inside it. I told her: "Speaker Pelosi, I am undocumented. My community is being targeted by ICE and killed by white supremacists. Fight for my community and impeach Trump now. We can't wait." Click here to RSVP for the #WeCantWait call on Tuesday, Aug. 27 at 6:00pm PT to learn more about next steps in the fight to impeach Trump. I confronted Speaker Pelosi to let her know that my people, who are being killed by Trump's white supremacy, cannot wait any longer for her moral leadership on impeachment. I expected her and the other attendees to at least hear me out, but I literally screamed into a void of privilege, complacency and denial. Pelosi's refusal to hear me speaks volumes about the limits of today's Democratic Party, which congratulates itself on hating Trump but is unwilling to act to rein him in. Our communities cannot afford to wait any longer. We need Speaker Pelosi to lead by publicly supporting impeachment and setting a date for a vote in the House of Representatives. And we're not letting up until she meets our demands. At CREDO, we know that fighting for progressive values and the world we all deserve means having the courage to hold Democrats accountable when they fall short. We couldn't do this work without CREDO members like you. Thank you for sticking with us and having our backs, Thaís Marques, Campaign Manager
