Every year, we lose too many family members, friends, and neighbors to gun violence. On Gun Violence Awareness Month, we remember the lives stolen, the trauma left behind, and recommit ourselves to treating gun violence as the public health crisis it is.
250 years later, we honor the heroes who joined shoulder to shoulder with their neighbors at the Battle of Bunker Hill. It was a joy to celebrate these patriots in Charlestown & re-commit to perfecting the Union of States these Bostonians, Bay Staters, & Americans helped forge.

The Greater Boston Food Bank & Mass General Brigham's new report is damning: 1 in 3 adults in MA is food insecure. But instead of investing in ending hunger, Trump and Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill would rip food away from millions of families. We'll keep fighting to stop this shameful bill.

GBH: 1 in 3 families in Massachusetts don't have enough to eat, according to new study
The Constitution is clear: no President can go to war without a vote in Congress—period. I joined my House colleagues on a resolution to prohibit an unauthorized war with Iran. Diplomacy and saving lives must be the priority and we cannot let America get dragged into another endless war.

From New England to the Heartland, American families in every community are struggling with our national housing affordability crisis, which is why we need an all-hands-on-deck approach to lower costs. That’s why we’re pushing for bold, sustained federal investment - everyone deserves stable housing
On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black joy, Black history, Black brilliance, and Black emancipation. We honor our ancestors whose resistance and sacrifice made this day possible, and we thank today’s freedom fighters who carry forward their legacy.

In Chelsea, our immigrant neighbors are being terrorized by Trump & ICE, and families are living in fear. We held a town hall there to affirm that an attack on our immigrant community is an attack on all of us. And we'll keep fighting to support them at every level of government.

A Georgia abortion ban denied her basic medical care and robbed her of her dignity. I am heartbroken. I send my deepest condolences to her family as they navigate their grief and finally lay Adriana to rest, and I am holding her sons in my heart.
Adriana Smith should be here today. Her voice trusted, her medical crisis treated, her life saved, her dignity honored. But instead, her body was made an incubator for months following her death, her family denied the right to make personal medical decisions.

This ruling is devastating and will exacerbate harm for children who depend on this essential and often life-saving, healthcare. Trans rights are human rights, and despite this setback, this Congresswoman will never stop fighting for our trans neighbors to show up as their full, authentic selves.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds a Tennessee law that restricts access to gender-affirming care for minors.
More damning confirmation of how harmful Trump and Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill would be. They want to make millions of people sicker and poorer just to make billionaires more well-off. The cruelty is the point. And the Senate must reject this shameful bill.
A tweet that reads: 

NEW analysis by the Congressional Budget Office shows the "One Big Beautiful Bill":

1.) Makes the bottom 30% worse off 

2.) Finances tax cuts that make the top 10% in particular better off.

This is not shared sacrifice--it's a fiscal transfer from the bottom to the top.
Genetic data is among the most intimate and sensitive personal information to exist, but 23andMe are failing in their responsibility to protect it. That's why we're calling on them to ensure they get consumers' consent before including this data in any bankruptcy sale.

Pressley, colleagues demand 23andMe protect sensitive consumer data prior to any sale
Our #HR40Reparations bill is not a symbolic gesture—it's an opportunity for our country to address its shameful history of systemic racism. I convened leaders and advocates in the reparations space to educate staff about the bill and affirm just that. theblackwallsttimes.com/2025/06/13/h...
"Without our courts upholding the rule of law, there could be federal funds frozen across the country that would endanger things like Head Start and Meals on Wheels." - @skyeperryman.bsky.social to @pressley.house.gov, discussing Democracy Forward’s litigation on behalf of communities
Congrats to my constituent, Nathan, whose piece ‘The Cary House in Rising Spring’ won the #MA7 2025 Congressional Art Competition. As a Chelsea High School student, Nathan wanted to showcase the beauty in Chelsea to challenge the negative connotations & stigma that surrounds it.
