Deeply alarmed by reports out of Tanzania, where a police crackdown on protests has left hundreds dead. We must have an independent, transparent investigation and accountability. And the US must always support self-determination & a peaceful democratic process.
Under Trump, masked agents are ripping kids from their parents, pepper spraying moms, & kidnapping teachers from classrooms. This is horrifying and unacceptable. Our immigrant families belong here and I'll fight for your rights & dignity.
Republicans are doing everything they can to attack our healthcare and reproductive freedom. They refuse to lower families' healthcare premiums unless Democrats agree to further restrict abortion access. We won't let them.
Republicans, under pressure from antiabortion advocates, have insisted that any extension of ACA subsidies should include more restrictions on abortion. That request is dead on arrival with Democrats.
Unlike federal workers, our federal contractors — that includes food service workers and janitorial staff who keep Congress running - did not receive back pay after the government shutdown ended. Ms. Willie has been a federal contractor for 44 years at the Library of Congress.
🚨The unemployment rate for Black women is now 7.5%. These damning numbers confirm that under Trump, Black women face a crisis of disproportionately high unemployment. He must end his racist & reckless economic policies that are harming our economy. And the Fed must act to address this crisis.
Today’s jobs report shows Black women’s unemployment is 7.5%, rising for the 3rd month in a row. Economic security isn’t about how many jobs exist—it’s about who has access to them. As we pointed out in September, Black women are too often still shut out: www.demos.org/blog/one-num...
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.
