I rose on the House floor to honor the life of Pastor Byron Christopher Sumner, a beloved son of Roxbury who devoted his career to serving our community.
As we grieve his loss, may we move forward in service. May he rest peacefully.

All Americans should be part of our democracy—but some states deny people with a criminal record their right to vote.
While Trump—who also has a criminal record—attacks voting rights, our Inclusive Democracy Act would expand access to the ballot box for disenfranchised voters.
Headed to the Senate floor to urge Senators to extend TPS for Haiti NOW.
Protecting the safety, dignity, & humanity of our Haitian neighbors is the right thing to do.
Our country is strengthened by their contributions to our communities, the economy, our healthcare workforce, & more.
The Senate must pass the extension of Haiti TPS without delay.
Fascist attacks on museums are not just about history, they're an assault on truth itself.
That’s why Trump is working overtime to turn our museums into instruments of MAGA propaganda.
He’s pressuring the Smithsonian to remove, whitewash, & rewrite our stories. But we won’t allow it.
My statement on the tragedy in Mattapan.
On Black Women's Equal Pay Day, I partnered with @itsafronomics.blacksky.app to make plain that attacks against workers begin & end with Black women.
Our op-ed explores the parallel crisis Black women are facing in low pay & high unemployment and what Congress & the Fed should do about it.
I’m glad CFPB Director Vought is on his way out.
But he needs to know exactly the harm he has caused to families.
He gutted consumer protections, dropped settlements against predatory companies, eliminated medical debt relief, & made life worse for everyday people.
Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
And now he’s trying to rig this year’s election with the SAVE America Act to make it harder to vote for millions of women, veterans, rural folks, & voters of color.
DEI policies have supported women in every aspect of their lives.
That’s why Republicans are hellbent on emboldening greater discrimination & dismantling civil rights protections.
Congress must codify gender equality & pass my bill to make the ERA the law of the land.
The shift in a record number of Dems opposing this funding is no accident—it’s a direct result of our movement demanding change.
I voted against $3.3B to fund genocide.
Mothers should not be burying their children. Babies should not be crying for their murdered parents. The US cannot continue to fund death and destruction carried out by the Israeli government.
Preparing for the Netflix documentary about the leadership of Black women in Congress.
Traffic stops have long been weaponized against people of color.
ICE agents are purposefully following & targeting our immigrant neighbors.
Just this week, they murdered two fathers in their cars. These unwarranted stops must be halted & ICE must be abolished.
Americans hold $500 billion in medical debt, burdened by the most challenging crises in their lives.
We used to have consumer protections to relieve that burden—until CFPB Director Vought rescinded them.
His legacy will be one of hurt & harm. The people deserve better.
An attack on our immigrant neighbors is an attack on us all.
We must abolish ICE. We must hold the agents that stole the lives of Joan, Lorenzo, & others accountable.
Joan is the second father ICE officers have murdered in one week, and at least the eleventh victim of fatal shootings carried out by the second Trump Administration.
This is the outcome of Trump & his enablers in Congress giving $70 BILLION more to a rogue, violent agency.
Joan Sebastian Guerrero should be alive today. A dedicated dad & husband, working hard to support his family, Joan should be here with his wife & his 3-year-old daughter.
ICE agents executed him while his family watched in terror; forever traumatized.
Like his predecessor, Todd Blanche has refused to release the full Epstein files.
He will continue the White House cover-up to protect Donald Trump. That’s why the Senate must reject his nomination.
Survivors deserve better.
