56 years ago today, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman sworn into Congress. I am one of 29 Black women serving in the 119th Congress and building on her legacy.
In the next four years, celebrating Shirley Chisholm’s life and work will be more important than ever.
As we celebrate Dr. King on Inauguration Day, I find the question he pondered the final year of his life more relevant than ever:
“Where do we go from here? Chaos or community?”
Chaos surrounds us, but I choose to focus on building the Beloved Community for which he fought.
Thank you, President Biden and Vice President Harris for your service.
ICYMI: I spoke with @vadogwoodnews.bsky.social about the Richmond water crisis, working with people on both sides of the aisle in Washington, and Dr. King’s legacy in the era of Trump.
Check out the interview below ⬇️

I joined @katiephang.bsky.social on the @katiephangshow.bsky.social today to discuss what’s next after President Biden’s declaration that the Equal Rights Amendment is now the law of the land.
Yesterday, I keynoted the Virginia Union University MLK Jr. Community Leaders Breakfast Celebration to recommit to Dr. King’s work to build the Beloved Community even in the face of a backlash against progress.
You can tune in to the broadcast on CBS 6 Monday Jan. 20th at 2 pm.
Tune in for my conversation on the #EqualRightsAmendment with @katiephang.bsky.social on the @katiephangshow.bsky.social at 12pm!
This week, I stood against House Republicans' attempts at stoking culture wars, celebrated Democratic wins, and prepared to get things done on the Energy and Commerce Committee.
Here's what you missed and more!
Nearly 100 years passed between ratification of the 14th Amendment and passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 enforcing its ban on discrimination.
We must fight to ensure enforcement of the 28th Amendment does not take as long.
I’m ready for that fight.
Today, as President Biden recognizes that the ERA has met all necessary qualifications to be formally added to the Constitution, we celebrate this first step. But it is not the last…
We know a fight in the courts is likely coming…
The day that Virginia ratified the ERA was a day of joyful tears and celebration. But our work was far from over.
As a member of Congress, I became a Vice Chair of the Congressional ERA Caucus, continuing to advocate for the ERA’s affirmation as the 28th Amendment.
In 2020, I worked with @senatorlocke.bsky.social and then-Delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy to pass legislation making Virginia — the birthplace of American democracy and American slavery — the 38th and final state necessary to ratify the ERA.
It was poetic justice.
For 102 years, activists have worked to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, an extension of the 14th Amendment’s promise.
Women of color have been in the fight for equality for all from the beginning, even when relegated to the background and the last to benefit from progress.
In 1868, the 14th Amendment guaranteed equal protection under the law to all.
But the Supreme Court applied stricter rules for discrimination on the basis of race, religion or national origin than it did on the basis of sex.
This is not true equal protection for all.
The U.S. Constitution promised to create a government by, of and for the people, but it did not include everyone. The founding fathers ignored Abigail Adams’ call to “remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.”
