Reproductive justice & disability justice are inextricably linked. With Republicans attacking Medicaid and reproductive freedom, I'm reintroducing my resolution affirming equitable access to reproductive care for people with disabilities.

I’m reintroducing our Disability Reproductive Equity Day Resolution
Please join us in thanking our Congressional delegation for their efforts to #SaveSNAP by voting NO on reconciliation! @whipkclark.bsky.social @repmcgovern.bsky.social @pressley.house.gov @trahan.house.gov @neal.house.gov @repauchincloss.bsky.social @moulton.house.gov @lynch.house.gov
In her words, “Medicaid is fundamental to children’s health & incredibly important for the babies in our state & district.” This essential program has helped us reduce maternal mortality, improve access to healthcare for our most vulnerable, & give families with premature babies a fighting chance.
In Massachusetts, Medicaid covers 39% of all children and pays for 32% of all births. The drastic cuts to Medicaid under Trump and Republicans’ bill would undermine Dr. Evans and her colleagues' ability to care for these infants and leave them ill-served.
For Dr. Evans, these cuts would harm the patients she cares for, their families, and create large disruptions in finances for hospitals like hers that care for critically ill newborns. “My patients deserve a well-funded Medicaid program,” she said.
Dr. Hailey Evans is a neonatologist and one of my constituents from Jamaica Plain. She recently wrote to my office about the devastating impacts Republican Medicaid cuts would have for our postpartum patients and babies in the #MA7 and nationwide.

MA-07 Medicaid Testimonial: Dr. Hailey Evans from Jamaica Plain
Vaccine recommendations should be based on facts and science, not RFK Jr.'s political, conspiracy theorist agenda. This is dangerous and will endanger the lives of mothers and babies alike. Secretary Kennedy must reverse course immediately. abcnews.link/ZkXBYUz
Memorial Day is more than a kick start to summer or an excuse to barbecue. It's a day of solemn remembrance for those who never returned home. To our fallen servicemembers and veterans from the #MA7: our hearts are with you and your sacrifices will never be forgotten.
It’s been 5 years since George Floyd was murdered & our communities are still plagued by mass incarceration, police brutality, & overcriminalization. That's why I’m reintroducing bold legislation to continue our push toward accountability, healing, & our collective liberation.
A graphic that reads:

In memory of George Floyd I’m reintroducing a suite of bills to transform our criminal legal system and improve police accountability
A graphic that reads:

The People’s Justice Guarantee

A comprehensive, decarceration-focused resolution that outlines a framework for a fair, equitable & just legal system.

The Ending Qualified Immunity Act

Eliminates the unjust doctrine of qualified immunity that has shielded officers from accountability & denied victims of police brutality recourse.

The Andrew Kearse Accountability for Denial of Medical Care Act

Holds law enforcement officers criminally liable for failing to obtain medical assistance to people in custody experiencing medical distress.
We’ll never have true justice for George Floyd. True justice would be George Floyd alive today. We owe it to George, his family, and everyone murdered by law enforcement to continue building a more just America where everyone can thrive & live free from fear.
A mural dedicated to George Floyd.
Trump is using Harvard students in his unlawful attempts to silence dissent, sow fear on campuses, and intimidate our immigrant neighbors. But we cannot and will not give in to bullying. I'm glad Harvard is standing firm and pushing back, and I'm proud to stand with them.
Breaking News: Harvard University sued the Trump administration less than a day after the government said it would block international students from attending.
Abruptly firing over 1,300 dedicated workers at @usedgov.bsky.social was part of Trump's unlawful attempt to dismantle the Department. I'm glad a federal judge is blocking this harmful action. This is a win for students, educators, and public education in America.
A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order to shut down the Education Department and ordered the agency to reinstate employees who were fired in mass layoffs. cnn.it/4k1Xgio
