Without Black history, America has none.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, my @baystatebanner.bsky.social op-ed affirms that we're pushing back against attacks on DEI, book bans, & Black history itself.
We won't let Trump censor our history, ignore our oppression, or attack our freedoms.
This #NationalReparationsAwarenessDay, I'm thinking of every reparations partner planting seeds so that we can all thrive.
Who are proving that reparations is possible as long as we organize, strategize & fight for it.
Because justice delayed is justice denied & our communities can wait no longer.
As someone living with Alopecia, I know what it is to endure a vulnerable transformation not of my choosing.
For many impacted by medical hair loss, unaffordable wigs deepen this hardship.
Our WIGS bill will expand coverage for wigs, relieving financial barriers & inaccessibility.
I have no regard for a man who rips parents away from children, deports families, & imprisons our babies.
That's why I'm boycotting today's #SOTU & instead shedding light on the stories of our children terrorized by ICE.
Because our children deserve a childhood free from fear.
The State of our Union is traumatizing our children.
And that is because of the violent rhetoric & policies enacted by the Occupant of the Oval Office.
That’s why I’m boycotting #SOTU tonight & my honorary guests are children who’ve been directly harmed & impacted by ICE.
Liam, Ailany, & Ashley, three-year-old, six-month-old, & fourteen-year-old siblings from the MA-07 who have been unjustly separated from their father for months, leaving their mother to navigate post-partum alone and struggle to provide for her family and care for her children without her husband.
![Ailany was only 2 weeks old when her father Sergio was disappeared by ICE. Sergio’s other daughter, 14-year-old Ashley, has autism and requires a high level of adult support and supervision. For months, the family has endured unjust separation. Sergio’s wife has had to navigate postpartum alone and struggled to provide for her family and care for her children without her husband.
Sergio said “I don’t know what’s going to happen with my kids. I’m far away from them, like I miss them every day, every minute. [My wife] is doing really bad – worse and worse. I’m afraid that something can happen to her and the kids because I can hear her like… in depression, it’s the pressure.” he said.
Despite a pending appeal, Sergio was unlawfully deported after a month in ICE detention. He had originally sought asylum in the United States escaping gang violence in his native Guatemala. After the government admitted wrongdoing and brought him back to the U.S., Sergio remains separated from his family and unjustly held in ICE custody.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did%3Aplc%3Adc6lrdlvden2l2qiilmgfyk5/bafkreifatwait3jgtmx3gh254ci5afrb327ulz4uwfoviolyirraj7rtom@jpeg)
Susej, a nine-year-old who has been detained at Dilley for over 60 days and whose pleas for help have travelled the country in her letters, in which she speaks of wanting to return to Venezuela because the United States has only shown her pain.
Daphne, a two-year-old from the Massachusetts 7th whose father was picked up as “collateral” during an ICE operation in Chelsea and unjustly disappeared from her life from weeks.
Juan Nicolás, a two-month-old who was dangerously ill and denied medical care while imprisoned at Dilley before he, his parents, and his 16-month-old sister were forcefully and suddenly deported.
The State of the Union is traumatizing our children.
That's why I’m boycotting today’s #SOTU.
Learn the harrowing stories of my honorary guests, children who have been detained and traumatized by ICE.
I’m boycotting the #SOTU.
Because I refuse to sit and listen to that man spew lies and hate while the State of our Union is traumatizing our children & families.
Instead, I’ll be joining @moveon.org for some truth telling. Tune in to their livestream starting at 8PM.
Da'Quain Johnson, a beloved father & son, should be alive today.
His life was stolen by law enforcement—as far too many Black lives have been.
There must be accountability for police abuse. It's what Da'Quain's loved ones & all of us deserve.
This is unacceptable–big banks are blatantly eliminating DEI goals for their boards.
This will only hurt investors, who want to know that these boards represent their financial interests.
We need transparency from big banks–and my Greater Supervision in Banking Act would do just that.
Reposted byCongresswoman Ayanna Pressley
Losing your hair to illness is traumatic & patients should be able to wear a wig without breaking the bank. Last week, @pressley.house.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov, & I reintroduced the WIGS bill, which requires Medicare to cover medically necessary wigs, making this treatment accessible for all.
Black books & authors matter.
And our babies deserve to see themselves reflected in our literature.
TY to everyone who came out for our Black History Month story hour at Frugal Bookstore in Roxbury.
What an honor to join Somerville RSJ to discuss the civil rights movement & how it impacts our work today.
As we celebrate the life & legacy of Rev. Jackson, it was a joy to be in community with leaders & fighters of the civil rights movement we are very much still in.
Every worker should be safe in their workplace–and that shouldn’t be controversial.
While the Trump Admin weakens workplace protections, we're fighting back.
Our Be HEARD Act would take critical steps to ensure workers can seek the accountability they deserve when their rights are violated.
SCOTUS has affirmed what we’ve always known: Trump’s reckless tariffs are illegal & unconstitutional.
This is a victory for working people & small businesses, and the $134 billion in revenue should go to them. #TrumpTariffRefund
In Boston today, I convened immigrant small business owners for a conversation about how Trump’s attacks on our immigrant communities are impacting the businesses that are essential to our communities and local economies.
