Despite this, I will always stand in solidarity and be a champion for the trans community, because everyone deserves to have their humanity recognized and live safely, freely, and as their full, authentic selves—free from fear, violence, or acts of hate.
This Transgender Day of Remembrance, I'm thinking of our trans neighbors whose lives were stolen by hate & prejudice. Folks like Rita Hester, a Black trans woman and beloved community member who was killed in the #MA7, and whose murder sparked this important day of recognition.

I just voted to release the Epstein files—a win for survivors & a step toward healing, accountability, & transparency. To the survivors who sat with me today & shared their stories: thank you for your strength. I see you, your experiences are real, & I'll keep fighting for you.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley votes to release the Epstein files.
Today the House will vote to release the Epstein files, an important step toward accountability. I will spend the day centering our survivors. Your experiences are real, you deserve to be heard, and this Congresswoman won’t stop fighting for you.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley holds a sign that says: Release the Files !!
While Trump and Republicans move with chaos, we’re responding with community. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our latest Coffee with the Congresswoman event in Mattapan. It was a joy to take your questions and update you on our work to support families across the Massachusetts 7th.

Trump is trying to sell the federal student loan portfolio so predatory companies & his billionaire buddies can keep profiting & preying on our borrowers. This is dangerous & unacceptable. @warren.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov & I are leading our colleagues and demanding Trump back down NOW.
To our trans neighbors in the #MA7 & around the country: This Congresswoman sees you, loves you, & will never stop fighting for you. You deserve to show up in the world as your full, authentic self & live with dignity & respect, without fear. #TransAwarenessWeek
@aapd.com is at the frontlines of the fight for disability justice. Their programs & services are so deeply needed as we demand better and fight this Administration’s discriminatory policies. I was honored to join these justice seekers for their 30th Anniversary Gala.

Logan Airport wouldn't run without our SEIU 32BJ workers who take pride & dignity in what they do.  I was proud to join them to demand the wages, benefits, and working conditions they deserve. Their work is essential and their livelihoods are important. It's what they're owed.
Trump wants to deflect and distract, but the people see right through his cover up. He can't escape this predatory, pedophile, ponzi scheme he's complicit in. That's why we're fighting to release all the Epstein files, hold a hearing with survivors, & deliver accountability.
Breaking news: Attorney General Pam Bondi indicated she has appointed a prosecutor to examine the relationships between Jeffrey Epstein and other prominent Democrats, including former president Bill Clinton, as requested by President Trump today.
Trump's retaliatory firing of my constituent Ellen for exercising free speech is egregious & dangerous. That’s why I’m fighting for Ellen & every federal worker unjustly fired. USDA must immediately reinstate her & allow her to continue serving our communities and country.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley stands behind a podium demanding the USDA to reinstate Ellen Mai.
