I brought the issue of maternal health to Congress because of Charles Johnson’s wife who died in childbirth. Nearly 10 years later, I introduced the WELLS Act because of my constituent Mercedes Wells. They’ve now come together to advocate on the Hill for Black maternal health 💜.

We can’t build safer communities while gun laws remain full of loopholes. Congress needs to close the Charleston Loophole, which allows gun purchases in three days even without a background check. It’s common sense: background checks should always be required to buy a gun.

60 years after the Equal Pay Act, women are still paid less for the same work. The gap is even wider for Black women. I don’t accept it. I support the Paycheck Fairness Act and efforts to strengthen equal pay protections. I’ll keep fighting for equal pay for equal work.

America was built by immigrants. This Immigrant Heritage Month, I celebrate the generations of people who came here seeking new opportunities. Their cultures, talents, and hard work continue to enrich our country despite ongoing attacks from the Trump administration.

ICE already spends more than other nations' entire defense budgets to terrorize our Black and Brown communities. Now, the GOP wants to hand these Gestapo agents another $70 BILLION. Not on my watch. I voted NO.

While millions of Americans scrape by, Donald Trump and his allies are trading stocks and cashing in on billionaire-first policies. This grift is at the expense of working families who are left paying the price.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.gov1d ago(source)
Everyone deserves affordable healthcare, lower grocery prices, and economic stability. Instead, Republicans are pushing a budget that funds cruelty over community. Our tax dollars should make life more affordable, not fund chaos and line Trump’s pockets.

Every single day, over 125 families are shattered by gun violence. This is a life or death public health crisis. We know the solutions to gun violence, but Republicans would rather bend to the gun lobby and reverse our progress. Our children deserve to grow up safe.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.gov2d ago(source)
You belong. I’m incredibly grateful to @pflag.org this Pride Month. They show up with the love and support so many need right now. To every LGBTQ+ individual and ally reading this: you are loved, you are valued, and you have a place here.

Americans spend $1 trillion a year treating diet-related diseases. Many of our neighbors live closer to a fast-food chain than a grocery store. My FOOD for Health Act expands access to fresh food through produce prescriptions and local farms to bring healthy options to everyone.

Birth control gives women autonomy over their bodies, lives and futures. Every person deserves the freedom to decide if, when, and how to build a family. Those private health decisions must stay between patients and their doctors.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.gov3d ago(source)
While the president builds a ballroom to protect himself and his billionaire donors, 125 Americans are shot and killed every single day. I’ve sat on the House floor to demand action for 26 hours, and I’m ready to make Good Trouble again. Empty thoughts and prayers won't save lives.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.gov3d ago(source)
Gun violence is the #1 killer of children in America. That is the only "why" I need to keep fighting like hell in Congress. I’m treating gun violence with the urgency it requires until every single one of our kids lives free from the fear of gun violence.

There’s only a few miles from the South Side to the North Side—but it’s separated by a 30 year life expectancy age gap. This $1 billion investment will help reduce health disparities and make critical care more accessible..
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.gov4d ago(source)
Every day, more than 120 people in America are killed by guns, and hundreds more are wounded. This violence touches every corner of our country and leaves a trail of trauma in its wake. This June, we #WearOrange to honor every life stolen and demand a future free from fear.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.gov4d ago(source)
I don’t accept excuses, and neither should you. If Republicans wanted to lower costs, they would act. They choose not to while families face rising rent, groceries, and healthcare bills. Their inaction has consequences.
Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.gov5d ago(source)
I have seen how ICE traumatizes our communities because Republicans refuse to rein them in. In the early hours of the morning, Senate Republicans pushed through another $70 billion for ICE and CBP. I won’t support giving DHS more funds while their power remains unchecked.

I'm wearing orange today for Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot and killed in a Chicago park. My friend @mcbath.house.gov wears orange for her son Jordan, who was killed for playing loud music. 🧡 Together, we fight for the ones who should still be with us today.
