Congressman García Participates in the Third Panamerican Congress

Congressman García Participates in the Third Panamerican Congress

August 24, 2026
Press Release


Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04) participated in the Third Panamerican Congress that took place from Friday, Aug. 21, through Sunday, Aug. 23. The opening day began with a press conference and an opening ceremony at Uruguay’s Legislative Palace led by Uruguayan Vice President Carolina Cosse. The gatherings’ first closed-door working session started right after.

That afternoon, a public event entitled “This Is America” brought together more than 600 people to the historic Teatro Solís. Former Chilean President Gabriel Boric, former Colombian President Gustavo Petro, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof, former Uruguayan Vice President Lucía Topolansky, former Chilean presidential candidate Jeannette Jara and former Chilean government spokesperson Camila Vallejo were among the progressive leaders from across the Americas who shared their visions for the region’s future.

On Saturday, delegations continued with additional closed-door working sessions and workshops on emerging issues, including the defense of democracy, the new global economy and cybersecurity.

The Third Panamerican Congress concluded Sunday with a closing session at the MERCOSUR Parliament, or Parlasur, in Montevideo. The parliamentary forum of democratic forces across the Americas brought together more than 150 lawmakers, former presidents, ministers and political leaders from 15 countries. Participants reviewed the outcomes of the working sessions held in Montevideo and announced Brazil as the next host country of the fourth Panamerican Congress in 2027.

The closing session began with presentations of the conclusions from four working groups focused on peace, multilateralism and security; sustainable economic development and regional integration; digital sovereignty and artificial intelligence; and well-being and care for the majority. Lawmakers agreed that the hemisphere’s challenges—from financial coercion and weaponized sanctions to concentrated technological power and the erosion of traditional welfare systems—require coordinated regional action rather than fragmented national responses.

Participants from the United States included a Congressional delegation led by U.S. Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA-7), and Jesús “Chuy” García (D-IL-04).

U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García said members of the U.S. delegation share the Congress’ vision.

“Those of us who serve in the United States Congress share the vision of this Panamerican Congress,” García said. “I believe winning back the majority in Congress can open space to change U.S. policy toward the region and the Global South. We will center working-class well-being, respect for human rights and respect for the sovereignty of Latin American nations.”

Gooden EXPOSES SPLC: "Burn a Catholic Church — NOT Hate. Hold a Christian Rally — HATE GROUP?"

Inside Congress

Jun 13, 2026 
Rep. Gooden left the SPLC president speechless after exposing a shocking double standard — conservative Christian groups like Alliance Defending Freedom and Turning Point USA are on the SPLC hate map, but Antifa and Jane's Revenge — the group that burned down Catholic churches and pregnancy resource centers — are not. 

Then came the bombshell — the FBI used SPLC material to classify Catholics as violent extremists during the Biden administration. 

Gooden's response? "Add me to your hate map. I'd be honored." What do you think? Is the SPLC still credible? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.

House GOP pushes strict proof-of-citizenship requirement for voters ahead of midterm elections

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 7:16PM



Watch ABC News live news stream and get 24/7 latest, breaking news coverage, and live video.

WASHINGTON -- House Republicans rushed to approve legislation on Wednesday that would impose strict new proof-of-citizenship requirements ahead of the midterm elections, a long shot Trump administration priority that faces sharp blowback in the Senate.

The bill, called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE America Act, would require Americans to prove they are citizens when they register to vote, mostly through a valid U.S. passport or birth certificate. It would also require a valid photo identification before voters can cast ballots, which some states already demand. It was approved on a mostly party-line vote, 218-213.

Republicans said the legislation is needed to prevent voter fraud, but Democrats warn it will disenfranchise millions of Americans by making it harder to vote. Federal law already requires that voters in national elections be U.S. citizens, but there's no requirement to provide documentary proof. Experts said voter fraud is extremely rare, and very few noncitizens ever slip through the cracks. Fewer than one in 10 Americans don't have paperwork proving they are citizens.

"Some of my colleagues will call this voter suppression or Jim Crow 2.0," said Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., presenting the package at a committee hearing.

But he said "those allegations are false," and he argued the bill is needed to enforce existing laws, particularly those that bar immigrants who are not citizens from voting. "The current law is not strong enough," he said.

AU applauds congressional resolution supporting church-state separation

November 2025 Church & State Magazine

November 3, 2025

Americans United welcomed the introduction of a resolution in Congress honoring the separation of church and state.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari

U.S. Reps. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.), Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) introduced the resolution — H. Res. 773 — on Sept. 30. It references two important speeches in church-state history: President John F. Kennedy’s speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association on Sept. 12, 1960, and President Ulysses S. Grant’s Sept. 29, 1875, speech to Army veterans in Des Moines.

Both presidents strongly endorsed church-state separation in their speeches. Kennedy famously said, “I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute — where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote, where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.”

Kennedy continued, “I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish — where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source, where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials — and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.”
