The Black unemployment rate is alarmingly high, and our entire economy suffers as a result.
When Black workers lose, everyone loses.
That's why I demanded Fed Chair Warsh uphold the Federal Reserve’s mandate of maximum employment for ALL workers, especially Black workers.

Our parents are our first teachers.
My mother was my shero and example. And I saw policies up close that made life harder for her daily.
That’s why the Mamas’ Caucus agenda is so essential for our families to not just survive, but thrive.
For many, their wheelchair is a lifeline.
My constituents shared with me how my FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act to remove burdensome requirements for wheelchair repairs would be essential to their mental & physical health, mobility, and everyday lives.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Donald Trump, sign the damn bill.
Speaker Johnson, do your damn job.
This housing bill is long overdue. It is needed. It is popular. It is important. Everyone needs housing.
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.
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.
This ruling is nothing but transphobia from Trump's Supreme Court.
To our transgender siblings across the country: I'll continue fighting for the dignity and respect you deserve to thrive in every space you wish.
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.
Anybody born on American soil is an American citizen, period.
Donald Trump has tried to rewrite our Constitution, reverse the progress of Reconstruction, and deny us our fundamental rights.
Not today. Not ever.
