To have known Sarah-Ann was to love her, and I’m grateful for her family, @mayorwu.boston.gov, @bpl.boston.gov, & for those who advocated for this library renaming as a powerful tribute to her mark on our home. May her legacy be forever honored in Roxbury.

A trailblazing, beloved, & proud daughter of Roxbury, Sarah-Ann Shaw dedicated her life to educating & empowering the City of Boston by unapologetically telling our stories, shattering concrete ceilings & mentoring other Black journalists. www.boston.com/news/local-n...

I'm one of the 7 million people in America living with alopecia. In Congress, I'm fighting for bold investments in research, to combat stigma and bullying, and medical coverage to help us along our journey.

Happy Disability Pride Month! I'll never stop legislating to build a more just, accessible America where people with disabilities are treated with respect and dignity. Because disability rights are human rights.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July! Let’s celebrate Independence Day by recommitting to the Work of building a more just, equitable America.

I remain yours in service to every family who calls the #MA7 home, & I will never stop fighting for you.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 3(source)

Republicans have passed a bill that will be a death sentence—denying millions medical care, denying children food, & violently deporting immigrant families to destabilized countries. This is unforgivable.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley holds a sign that reads: No Cuts. No Cages. Protect Families.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 3(source)

Still here, fighting for every family that calls our district home.

It's 1am and Republicans are struggling to pass their Big, Ugly Bill that would harm millions of families. Their cruelty, chaos, and dysfunction are keeping the American people in limbo. Democrats are ready to reject this shameful bill and we must keep the pressure up.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 2(source)

Republicans claim to be the party of God, but I can't find a psalm that says "Thou shalt make people poorer, hungrier, and sicker.” And that's exactly what their Big, Ugly Bill would do. We'll continue to resist, obstruct, and use every tool to stop it in its tracks.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 2(source)

I rose on the House floor to try to prevent Republicans from destroying Medicaid and SNAP in Trump's Big, Ugly Bill. They won't even consider it. The cruelty is the point.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 2(source)

— $1,400 average increase in premiums for people covered by the ACA in #MA7 — $290 yearly increase in energy bills Republicans need to do right by their constituents and reject this shameful bill.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 2(source)

How would Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill harm Massachusetts families? —Over 320,000 would lose health insurance — At least 103,000 could lose food assistance — 63,334 students could lose their Pell grants — 11,000 manufacturing & energy jobs would be cut

🚨Trump and Republicans are attacking Planned Parenthood and other essential providers in their Big, Ugly Bill. While we fight to stop it, I'm filing an amendment with @degette.house.gov to protect Planned Parenthood & help ensure everyone in America can access the reproductive healthcare they need.

A graphic that reads:

Why the amendment?

Trump and Republicans are doing everything they can to attack Planned Parenthood and other essential healthcare providers as part of their extremist march toward a nationwide abortion ban—and their Big, Ugly Bill is just the latest example of that.

While we fight to stop this bill, my amendment with my Reproductive Freedom Caucus Co-Chair Rep. DeGette would protect Planned Parenthood while helping ensure everyone in America can get the reproductive healthcare they need, regardless of income, insurance, or zip code.

A graphic that reads:

What does the amendment do?

It strips language in Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill prohibiting Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood and other essential reproductive healthcare providers, and replace it with the text of the EACH Act.

The EACH Act is bold legislation to repeal the Hyde Amendment and lift unjust abortion coverage restrictions for those who depend on Medicaid and other government-sponsored plans.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 1(source)

This bill is not an inevitability, and we’ll keep fighting with every tool we have to stop it in its tracks.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 1(source)

Every Senator that voted for Trump's Big Ugly Bill should be ashamed of themselves. Republicans desperately want billionaires to get more money they don’t need that they're willing to make millions of people poorer, sicker, hungrier, & lack access to reproductive healthcare.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJul 1(source)

Trump and Republicans are hell-bent on making people in this country poorer, hungrier, sicker, and more vulnerable–all so they can give billionaires more tax breaks. This Big, Ugly Bill is NOT an inevitability, and we'll keep pushing to stop it in its tracks.

Republicans should stop trying to rush through their Big, Ugly Bill that would make millions poorer, sicker & hungrier. Instead, they should listen to their constituents. Folks like Layla, whose family could go bankrupt trying to keep her alive if Medicaid gets gutted.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJun 29(source)

Under the cover of night, Senate Republicans advanced their Big, Ugly Bill. The same bill that would rip food & healthcare away from millions, and further restrict abortion access nationwide. All to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. Shameful.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govJun 28(source)

Our constituents deserve meaningful policies to tackle gun violence as the public health crisis that it is. This Gun Violence Awareness Month, I joined @markey.senate.gov in reintroducing legislation to help save lives by promoting MA gun laws as a model for states to adopt nationwide.
