Qasim Rashid, Esq.

Here’s my big announcement!

As a human rights lawyer, I’ve spent my career supporting DV survivors, asylum seekers, and demanding economic, social, and climate justice.

I’m running for U.S. Congress in the district I grew up in because these crises are getting worse—and justice can’t wait.

@QasimRashid

Are you saying that Bill Foster is taking campaign donations from the groups you mention in your video? Or is he not running for re-election?

@QasimRashid I am an Oregonian. But I have been keeping tabs on gour posts. It's been so very refreshing to following the depth, care, well-reasoned, and inclusive coverage of news and ludicrous goings on. Much luck.

@QasimRashid
Here's a good idea: use verified sources to back your platform. As someone who likes the facts, you'd for sure win over skeptics and left-wingers who like to use data and science to fight for the worker.

Either way, you've got my endorsement! Follow the facts and you'll find that capitalism is behind our planet's burning, people losing their jobs, and poverty spiking!

@QasimRashid You might consider editing your post to expand the acronym "DV" (I assume not digital video-- Google says Diversity Visa maybe? I honestly don't know...)

@QasimRashid @DeanObeidallah you need to do something about police brutality. There’s no need at all for them to beat someone up to the point where they need medical attention. They are supposed to wrestle, restrain, and take control, not punch people in the face who are holding a 2 week old baby

@QasimRashid Justice according to whose LAW+RELIGION?
Secularists' LAW+RELIGION?!🤔
For me Justice start with the declaration of "Your LAW+RELIGION for you, my LAW+RELIGION for me".
