Elizabeth Sweet of MIRA Coalition & @pressley.house.gov said Massachusetts has at least 91,400 immigrant entrepreneurs who generate $3.1 billion in business income. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

This Women's History Month, I'm honoring: —Women whose labor go unrecognized. —Women unjustly detained or incarcerated, separated from their babies. —Women mourning their loved ones due to endless wars & genocide. The daughters, mamas, & grandmas who keep us whole. Their livelihoods matter.

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

Our immigrant entrepreneurs & small business owners are indispensable. The impact they have on our communities & economies reverberates far beyond the walls of their businesses. I will continue to defend their livelihoods against the blatant harm of this hostile White House.

My heart breaks for the United States service members killed. My heart breaks for the innocent Iranian schoolgirls killed. Every child is a parent’s entire universe. #NoWarWithIran

The Trump Administration's oil blockade on Cuba is cruel & irresponsible. It's exacerbating an energy crisis, enforcing hospitals to go dark, & denying families food. The Admin must reverse course immediately & end the blockade. Solidarity with the people Cuba.

Black veterans fought for freedom abroad while fighting for dignity & justice here. And their service is not a footnote in our nation’s story. Proud to present a congressional citation to honor The Concerned Black Men of Massachusetts for their work.

Donald Trump does not care about civilians in the region or the safety of US Troops. He’s illegally bypassing Congress and starting a war with Iran that has already killed dozens of children. This is unacceptable. Congress must take action to rein in Trump and save lives.

I’m proud to introduce the Greater Supervision in Banking Act to support the interests of investors & hold big banks accountable. My GSIB Act would require big banks to disclose diversity metrics, compensation policies, & climate costs and be transparent with their investors.

Black history is American history—my resolution honors & celebrates museums keeping our shared history alive. We refuse to yield to whitewashing of our Black ancestors' labor & joy. Instead, we support & defend the institutions who do the essential truth-telling of our stories.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley introduces resolution to protect and celebrate Black museums and cultural institutions

Pressley tells theGrio the resolution seeks to counter Trump's attempts to "rewrite and whitewash" Black history through executive action.

Our Black, Latino, & women-owned businesses are pillars of our communities. But they are too often targeted for disinvestment with no meaningful opportunities to build wealth. My SPARK Act with @markey.senate.gov will give them the resources needed to build wealth & grow.

Our children are being traumatized by this Administration, they’re stealing childhoods. Whether you’re talking about hungry children being denied food assistance, medical negligence of cutting Medicaid, or the rogue actions of ICE. That’s why I boycotted #SOTU.

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.

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.

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.

Liam & Ailany & Ashley – 3-year-old, 6-month-old & 14-year-old from Chelsea, MA

Unjustly separated from their father Sergio

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.

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.

Susej – 9 years old

Currently imprisoned at Dilley Detention Facility

“Hello, my name is Susej F and I’m 9 years old. I’m from Venezuela. I have been 50 days in Dilley Immigration Processing Center. And I want to go to my country. But I miss my school and my friends I feel bad since when I came here to this place, because I have been here too long. I have been 2 years and 6 months in united states, and I was happy with my friends in the school but now I need to leave. I miss my family in my country so now I want to go to Venezuela. But my mom do not want to leave because she wants a better future for me. Seen how people like me, immigrants are been treated changes my perspective about the U.S. My mom and I came to the U.S looking for a good and safe place to live, and my mom was looking for a good job.”

The conditions at Dilley, and the detainment of children violate multiple laws and basic human rights. Children at Dilley are denied adequate nutrition, clean water, basic healthcare and access to schooling.
