I can tell you that the day
President Trump announced he had picked Senator Jeff Sessions to lead
the Department of Justice, the phones in my office lit up. People from
across my home State of Washington contacted my office to express their
shock, their outrage, and their fear. The calls came from people who help LGBTQ youth experiencing
homelessness; groups who have tirelessly advocated for necessary
criminal justice reform; families caught in a broken immigration
system; civil rights advocates and community leaders who have fought
for decades to create a more just society; advocates and nonprofits
trying to help women escape domestic violence. The list goes on. That was in November.
