Nolan Wells was a beloved son, student-athlete, & a Black boy who deserved to grow old. Though true justice would mean Nolan would be alive today, we’re pushing for the accountability his family deserves. I grieve for his loved ones & join their demands for an independent investigation.
I’m proud to deliver essential housing resources to families in the #MA7 & throughout the country. This housing package & my four bills within it will bring necessary relief to families struggling to keep up with soaring housing costs. Learn more about what my bills will do:
A graphic that reads:

The Appraisal Modernization Act: This bill would promote equity and combat systemic bias in the home appraisal process that has disadvantaged many current and aspiring homeowners—especially homeowners of color.

Helping More Families Save Act: This bill would help families receiving federal housing assistance achieve financial independence as a pathway to wealth building by modernizing and expanding HUD’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program.
A graphic that reads:

The Renter Resource Center Act: This bill would protect renters and strengthen oversight of corporations by creating a database of institutional investors that buy single-family homes, requiring HUD to provide resources to renters and more.

The Innovation Fund Act: This bill would establish a grant program to reward communities that are taking innovative steps to increase housing supply.
My heart is with the family & loved ones of Louisa Gag, a beloved community member & public servant committed to making Boston a safer & more accessible city. Her dedication to improving the livability of our streets, neighborhoods, & public spaces has made Boston a better place.
A Boston city worker and a cycling advocate was killed this morning near Roxbury Crossing while riding her bike. Mayor Michelle Wu said that Louisa Gag was devoted to making Boston safer for everyone.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a beloved husband & father who worked hard to provide for his family & strengthen his Houston community. I stand with the Salgado family in demanding accountability & a full investigation. No life should be stolen by ICE. ABOLISH ICE. Accountability NOW.
Ronaldo Salgado relayed his panicked search for his father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, as he joined local legislators and activists in calling for a full and transparent investigation into the killing on Tuesday in Houston. https://wapo.st/4vUxMt9
Amber Nicole Thurman should be alive today. Republican abortion bans cost her life-saving care, and eventually her life. Her story is not an anomaly. We're fighting every day to save lives & fight for abortion care that is accessible & treated as the essential healthcare it is.

If you aren’t a TPS holder yourself or have a loved one who is a TPS holder, know that TPS holders are essential to your daily life too. We must act now to extend TPS for Haiti and ensure Haitian TPS holders can continue their contributions to our communities & care economy.
In today’s Starting Point, Massachusetts health care operators are expressing alarm over the Supreme Court ruling siding with the Trump administration’s effort to end immigration protections for Syrians and Haitians.
This Disability Pride Month, we celebrate the dignity, humanity, & joy of our siblings with disabilities. As we commemorate the passing of the ADA, we affirm that disability rights are human rights and we must continue to dismantle barriers faced by the disability community.
Frederick Douglass’ speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” serves as a powerful reminder of our nation’s greatest contradiction—an exclusive democracy. As we mark America’s 250th we must remember: we cannot celebrate freedom while the U.S. denies it to millions.
For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.
The lives, families, & futures of our TPS holders are not temporary. They make incredible contributions to our healthcare, hospitality, & construction industries. The SCOTUS ruling is a devastating comma, but it is not a finite period. We’re still fighting.
Wheelchair breakdowns can be traumatizing & dangerous—often limiting wheelchair users' mobility & access to work, school, appointments & more. My FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act is essential to livability & would streamline repair services by removing unnecessary paperwork.
An article by GBH titled: Pressley introduces federal bill to speed up wheelchair repairs
I introduced an amendment to ensure that states have the authority to take action to improve consumer protections. And Republicans voted it down. Grateful Massachusetts is leading the way & protecting consumers who were victims of predatory earned wage access products.
We are witnessing a deeply concerning rise in human rights violations & criminalization of LGBTQIA+ individuals across the globe. It is incumbent upon the US to protect our LGBTQIA+ siblings at home & abroad. That's why I'm urging the State Department to take urgent action.
Rep. Pressley urges the Trump Administration to protect LGBTIA+ citizens abroad and denounce global human rights violations targeting LGBTQIA+ community.

This ruling is welcome news. But we cannot lose sight that Trump & Republicans are still attempting to use every tool to disenfranchise millions of voters. We will continue to organize against their relentless campaign of voter suppression.
BREAKING: Supreme Court allows states to count mail-in ballots that arrive late, rejecting RNC challenge.
Trump’s brazen attempt to fire Governor Lisa Cook was always unlawful. And his targeting of the only Black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve Board was always a racist, sexist attack. We must continue preserving the Fed’s independence from blatant political interference.
NEW: SCOTUS says Trump can't fire Fed governor Lisa Cook — a blockbuster ruling that limits the president's influence on the central bank.
The implications of the SCOTUS ruling to allow TPS termination are nothing short of catastrophic. Seniors will lose their caregivers. Business owners will lose their staff. And children will lose their classmates. This fight is not over. The Senate must act.
