Honored to continue serving on Financial Services & Oversight & Government Reform — two powerful venues for advancing economic relief & accountability. With the Trump Admin poised to inflict harm on our communities, I'll keep fighting to hold bad actors accountable & center the people of the #MA7.

Once again we have ignorant, uninformed men — who think they know better than doctors & mothers — taking to the House floor to deny us our medical care. This time with a bill that criminalizes our doctors & robs mothers of the chance to hold a baby w/ a fatal diagnosis. youtube.com/shorts/jwuFs...

Breaking news: The Justice Department said it will roll back Biden-era efforts to criminally charge demonstrators who interfere with patient access to reproductive health clinics, calling those prosecutions an example of the “weaponization” of law enforcement.

Trump is wasting no time attacking our immigrant neighbors & we're wasting no time fighting back. Our bill would repeal an outdated law that Trump has threatened to use for mass deportations. We'll never stop fighting to protect our communities. youtube.com/shorts/73noX...

The freedom to access an abortion clinic, safe from violence and intimidation has been protected for over 30 years. We have seen the deadly outcomes when that freedom is violated. Read our statement on yesterdays’s Trump pardons from Co-Chairs @degette.house.gov & @pressley.house.gov 👇.

Today, the extreme House GOP rushed a bill to the floor to limit access to reproductive care & criminalize those who provide it. RFC will continue to denounce any attacks on repro care & fight for Americans' freedoms. Read our statement from Co-Chairs @degette.house.gov & @pressley.house.gov 👇.

Trump's rollback of DEI initiatives are an affront to all of us. It is a FACT that systemic oppression codified in our laws & budgets has harmed women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ & disabled folks, & many others. Diversity is our strength & everyone in America deserves to thrive.w

"The Trump Administration's harmful executive orders rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are an affront to all of us. Diversity is our strength and everyone who calls this country home deserves to thrive.

“These programs and the dedicated employees who administer them are deeply necessary to ensure government works for everyone in America, which is why I worked closely with the Biden-Harris Administration and then-Ranking Member Raskin to center equity and justice in every administrative policy decision across federal agencies.

“It is a fact that systemic oppression codified in our laws and budgets has harmed women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, those with disabilities and other underserved communities in this country.

“Rather than advance cruel and callous policies that undermine progress, I invite Republicans to change course and work with us in advancing legislation that actually helps people from all walks of life."

It's been 52 years since Roe v. Wade—and 3 anniversaries since millions were stripped of their right to abortion care. Today we're unyielding in our resolve & we won’t rest until we safeguard reproductive freedom future for all. My statement with @degette.house.gov & @reprocaucus.bsky.social.

DeGette, Pressley, Reproductive Freedom Caucus Statement on 52nd Anniversary of Roe v. Wade:

“Today marks 52 years since Roe v. Wade. Three of these anniversaries have now passed since millions of Americans were stripped of their right to abortion care, privacy, and reproductive freedom. To make matters worse, it’s been two days since the architect behind the fall of Roe returned to the White House to roll back those rights even more.

“But today, for the first time in our history, the Reproductive Freedom Caucus stands 160 Members strong from the top of the Congress. 160 reproductive freedom champions already fighting to restore our rights and expand access to reproductive health care.

“Today, and every day, we are unyielding in our resolve. We will not rest until we safeguard a true reproductive freedom future for all.”

It’s always a joy to break bread & be in beloved community for the 55th Annual MLK Memorial Breakfast in Boston — the oldest such MLK breakfast in the country. The young scholars we honored are truly a manifestation of King’s radical dream.

📢Know Your Rights! Communities across the country are dealing with the fear and threat of immigration raids. To our immigrant neighbors and families, I am so sorry you are facing this cruelty and targeting, and our office is here as a resource.

Know your rights if confronted by police or immigration agents

Steps to take in the event of immigration raids:

Gather all your important documents

Let a trusted family member know where to find them

Talk with your family about what to do if you or someone in the family is detained by ICE

Give your child’s school a list of trusted adults who can pick up your child if you are detained by ICE

Consult with an immigration attorney

What should you do if ICE comes to your door?

Don’t open the door without a valid warrant signed by a judge

Remain silent! You have the right to not speak

Ensure everyone in the home remains calm and don’t attempt to interfere with an ICE officer

Don’t sign anything without speaking to an attorney

Call your attorney or seek legal help at (617) 988-0606

What happens if ICE comes to your work?

Don’t provide false documents and don’t carry them with you

Don’t attempt to interfere with an ICE officer

Tell them you’d like to speak to your attorney and don’t sign anything without speaking to one

Keep important numbers with you

If ICE detains you while at work and you have children at home, make sure you inform ICE

There's no better way to honor King than to build community. As we brace for the next four years, I’m grateful to everyone who joined us to create a space for healing & empowerment. Together we're powerful & together we'll create the just & equitable world that King envisioned.

This MLK holiday, we face a profound & painful contradiction. But Dr. King gifted us with a blueprint for community-building & transformative change. I wrote in @globeopinion.bsky.social about why it should be our roadmap as we govern over the next four years. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/20/o...
