From Worcester to the Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts knows what’s possible with fare-free transit. My new report with @pressley.house.gov shows that going fare free saves money, grows ridership & simplifies transit. We must pass the Freedom to Move Act so communities can go fare free.

After conducting critical oversight of the Dilley ICE detention center, our message is clear: Dilley must be shut down and ICE must stop family separation, medical negligence, & childhood trauma.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govAug 3(source)

The layered attacks on Black folks by Donald Trump has deepened the economic inequities facing Black communities. But the consequences reverberate far beyond us. This @naturbanleague.bsky.social report affirms what we know to be true: this harm is coming for everyone.

Urban League report says Trump administration is harming Black Americans’ chances at American Dream - The Boston Globe

Released on Thursday, the annual “State of Black America” report grimly describes Black Americans ' economic and political prospects as having worsened due to policy changes from President Trump’s adm...

We must shut down Dilley and end the for-profit prison system that allows companies like CoreCivic to profit from mass incarceration and the abuse, neglect, & trauma of our immigrant neighbors. Close Dilley. Abolish ICE. Not one more cent to this campaign of terror.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govAug 2(source)

Earlier this week, I conducted oversight of the Dilley ICE detention center. What every duly elected Member of Congress has a right to do, but the Trump Administration continues to obstruct. They’re trying to silence the harrowing testimonies coming from behind the walls of these detention camps.

I hear from constituents every day that housing is their first, second, & third priority. That’s why I’m proud to deliver $500K in federal funding to support Mattapan seniors' housing and their right to age with dignity. Everybody deserves a place to rest, dream, & call home.

Mass. becomes first state to launch chip-enabled EBT cards to combat benefit theft

Massachusetts is issuing chip-enabled EBT cards statewide to better protect benefits from theft and skimming schemes.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 31(source)

I've been fighting to prevent the stealing of SNAP benefits for years & I'm thrilled to see Massachusetts lead the way. These first-of-its-kind EBT cards will make it safer & easier for folks to access their essential benefits to feed their families. TY Governor Healey for your leadership.

If you are outraged by the number of Black & low-income people that are incarcerated, the same for-profit system is driving the unlawful detainment & deportation of our immigrant neighbors. These are two sides of a very evil for-profit coin.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 31(source)

Families in the #MA7 are grappling with a housing & affordability crisis. That's why I'm proud to deliver $500K in federal funds to make the Brooke House Village Center in Mattapan a reality. This is an investment in healthy aging that will help our elders thrive with dignity.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley celebrates the $500,000 she delivered in federal community project funding for the construction of 2Life Communities’ Brooke House Village Center.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley listens to senior residents discuss how the construction of 2Life Communities’ Brooke House Village Center will help them thrive.

61 years ago, Medicare & Medicaid became law & have helped provide care for elders, disabled & low-income families. Yet Trump & Republicans gutted these vital programs to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. I'll never stop fighting to save healthcare & affirm it as a human right.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 30(source)

Odyssey this. Odyssey that. We Odyssey ICE abolished.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 29(source)

Trump & Republicans know their policies and cruelty are deeply unpopular. That's why they're doing everything they can to suppress the vote and rig this year's midterm election. We must push back and defend our democracy using every tool available.

BREAKING: The Trump administration urges the Supreme Court to allow an order targeting mail-in voting to proceed for now, before the midterms.

What is happening inside the Dilley ICE detention center is state-inflicted trauma. Babies & toddlers caged for weeks. Children developing suicidal ideation. Families being fed expired food & denied medical care. We must close Dilley immediately & free our children.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 28(source)

These are real people navigating profound trauma—and their basic human rights are violated daily. I leave today clear as ever that Congress must immediately close the Dilley prison, free the families, & abolish ICE.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 28(source)

I won’t mince my words from what I saw at the ICE detention center at Dilley. Today in America, babies and toddlers are imprisoned. Men, women, & children treated like numbers and confined without easy access to basic needs.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 28(source)

No family should be torn apart by this government. No family should be detained. No family should be separated. We must close Dilley and end family detention NOW.

A graphic that reads:

End family detention now.
Shut down Dilley and stop locking up kids.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 28(source)

On my way to the Dilley ICE detention center, where teenagers, babies, and families are imprisoned. I’m here to conduct critical oversight with @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and demand Dilley be closed NOW.

This is another brazen attempt by the occupant of the White House to attack and whitewash American history. This is fascism, plain and simple.

To be young, gifted, and Black is where it’s at. Congratulations to Harvard University's Black Graduated Class of 2026. Be righteous stewards of your gifts in today’s civil rights movement. We’ll make change with your righteous indignation and collective determination.
