This Women's History Month, I honor Ida B. Wells. A fearless journalist, organizer, and civil rights pioneer whose fight against racial violence changed our nation. Her courage continues to inspire generations.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 29(source)
Three years ago today, President Biden signed into law the Emmett Till Antilynching Act. This law represents a long overdue acknowledgment of the racial violence that shaped our history and a commitment to confronting hate in all forms.

Trump claims prices are lower than ever, but we know he’s lying. While he is spending billions on a war against Iran, American families are suffering higher gas prices, higher utility bills, and higher grocery costs. It's time to end this now.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 28(source)
National Nutrition Month highlights the importance of good food for long‑term health. I’m working to support that goal through bipartisan legislation, the FOOD for Health Act, which helps bring healthy, affordable foods back into our communities.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 28(source)
House Republicans just passed a 60-day band-aid to prolong this DHS shutdown and give more money to the Gestapo agents who have terrorized our communities. That’s not right. Democrats have a solution on the table right now: pay TSA workers and rein in ICE & CBP.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 27(source)
Republicans are rubber-stamping Trump’s reckless war in Iran. No clear strategy. No accountability. No end in sight. Democrats are fighting for transparency, for Congress to do its job, and to bring this war to an end.

Brain injuries can lead to lifelong epilepsy and chronic pain. I’m proud to support the National Plan for Epilepsy Act to boost research into these lasting effects of TBI. This #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth, let’s uplift survivors and push for stronger resources.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 27(source)
Speaker Johnson is wasting time on a 60-day band-aid that won’t pass the Senate to fund ICE & CBP, while TSA workers need to get paid now. This is ridiculous. There’s a Senate-approved bill that we can pass TODAY. Speaker Johnson needs to pull his caucus together so we can end the chaos.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 27(source)
TSA workers are on Day 42 of working for free. No one should have to choose between serving their country and surviving. It is time for House Republicans to stop holding critical government functions hostage for political gain & put American families first. Pay them now.
2nd jobs, longer hours, pushed to the brink: TSA workers detail mounting stress as DHS shutdown continues
As the partial government continues, Transportation Security Administration workers are worried about the long-term consequences of working with no pay.

37M Americans are living with kidney disease, and 90% don’t know it. With 550k+ on dialysis and 100k+ awaiting transplants, awareness is more than a priority—it’s a necessity. This #NationalKidneyMonth, let’s focus on prevention & close the gap in health disparities.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 26(source)
Speaker Johnson has stalled DHS funding 3x to push Trump’s voter suppression agenda. It’s a power grab: ICE is paid to haunt airports while TSA goes unpaid. I refuse to fund ICE/CBP’s community terror or submit to a GOP that bends the knee to a desperate President.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 26(source)
Women earn only 81 cents compared to a man’s dollar. The gap is even wider for women of color. It doesn’t matter if a Black woman has a PhD—she still earns less than a man doing the same work. As a Black woman with a PhD, that’s more than concerning. Pay us what we deserve. Period.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 26(source)
Black women drive our economy. Yet barriers still hold too many back. I joined leaders and advocates this Women’s History Month to confront wage gaps, unequal access to capital, and attacks on opportunity. We must protect our progress and keep pushing forward.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 25(source)
Trump and Republicans are stiffing TSA officers and putting travelers at risk. They’re refusing to fund DHS. That means no pay for TSA workers and hours-long security lines. To President Trump and Republicans: take our deal to fund DHS minus ICE and STOP THE CHAOS.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 25(source)
Donald Trump: “Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating.” But he voted by mail. Let’s be clear: undermining our elections was never about integrity. It was about power. Our democracy deserves better. I will keep fighting to protect the vote and defend every voice.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govMar 25(source)
Today we remember 146 workers, mostly young immigrant women, who lost their lives in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in 1911. Their tragedy sparked a movement that reshaped workplace safety and labor rights. I am continuing to fight to protect all workers.
