After Charles’s wife, Kira, died after a routine C-section, he founded 4Kira4Moms to advocate for better Black maternal health. When I heard of Kira’s story, I got to work in Congress. I’m so grateful for Charles’s continued partnership to save Black moms & end maternal mortality.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 22(source)

Too many Black women are still dying from preventable pregnancy-related causes. Too many women are dying, and RFK Jr.’s response? “It’s getting better.” What a load of BS. RFK Jr. is failing women and Americans across the country.

It’s simple: Congress needs to expand access to affordable mental healthcare. Period.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 21(source)

Gas prices keep rising, with the national average topping $4 per gallon. It's ridiculous. Americans will continue to face high costs with no end in sight due to Trump's war in Iran and his failed efforts to end it.

Trump says gas prices 'could be the same' or 'a little bit higher' by the midterms

The U.S. began blocking ships through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, sending oil prices surging after peace talks failed over the weekend.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 20(source)

The housing crisis isn’t a hoax. It’s reshaping our communities, pricing families out, and widening the housing inequality gap. We need policies that prioritize people over profits and make affordable housing a reality for everyone.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 20(source)

Trump’s budget continues the administration’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education and disinvest in our children’s futures. It makes $8.5 billion in cuts to K-12 programs and eliminates preschool development grants. Meanwhile, Trump wants more money to fund his war in Iran.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 20(source)

This Child Abuse Prevention Month, we recommit to protect every child. My work, like the Protect Black Women and Girls Act, ensures all children are cared for. Every child deserves safety, love and to be heard. Let's stand together and protect our children.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 20(source)

Trump’s tariffs are making life more expensive. In 2025, households paid about $1,700 more than the year before because of his tariffs. This year, that added cost is projected to rise to more than $2,500.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 19(source)

Financial literacy matters. But let’s be honest: no budgeting app can fix low wages, high costs, or an economy that keeps working families under pressure. People need information, and they also need the Trump administration to deliver an economy that works for all people.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 19(source)

Trump’s war with Iran is reckless, costly, and deadly. It has taken lives, deepened instability, and raised costs for families here at home. House Republicans stood by and let it happen. I will not stay silent to this reckless administration and their reckless leadership.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 18(source)

On Monday, I met with USW District 7 in Matteson to talk about the issues facing workers: collective bargaining, health care, job security, retirement security, and workplace safety. Being a union champion has defined my career, and I will keep standing with our workers.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 18(source)

Trump tried to end protections for more than 350,000 Haitians who contribute $6 billion to our country. That is cruel and dangerous. It took exactly 218 Congress members, but we successfully passed @pressley.house.gov's bill to extend protected status for Haitians!

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 18(source)

My late stepdaughter would tell me about the calls she’d receive every day as a 911 operator. My PROTECT 911 Act supports our emergency operators so they can do their lifesaving work. During National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, my gratitude goes out to all our 911 operators.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 17(source)

On the last day of Black Maternal Health Week, I’m reminding folks that the fight for maternal health does not end. The fight continues until all Black women are safe, supported, and taken seriously before, during, and long after pregnancy.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 17(source)

Barbara Flynn Currie opened doors for generations of women in public service. She was tough, brilliant, and deeply respected across Illinois. It was an honor to serve with her. So much of the work we carry forward today rests on the foundation she helped build.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 17(source)

Tax season should not feel like a bait and switch. But that is exactly what families got. Trump promised bigger refunds. Instead, working people are getting 65% less than promised while costs keep rising.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 16(source)

I’ll keep fighting for safer pregnancies, healthier mothers, and a healthcare system that treats Black women with dignity.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 16(source)

I’ve successfully passed maternal health legislation, including the extension of Medicaid postpartum coverage to a full year. But more work must be done. Mercedes Wells was discharged from a hospital while in active labor. My WELLS Act would prevent similar traumatic situations.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 16(source)

I brought the issue of maternal mortality to Congress nearly a decade ago because nothing was being done. Black women face higher rates of death, stillbirths, and pregnancy-related complications. Now, I stand with many of my colleagues dedicated to improving health outcomes.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 16(source)

Black women are still being failed by our healthcare system before, during, and after pregnancy. President Trump attacks our healthcare and creates fertile ground for racism to grow in our hospitals. That’s unacceptable. More work must be done to save Black moms.
