Like countless other daughters of the diaspora, Marcus Garvey has inspired me since my earliest days. It’s past time that all Americans learn the truth of his legacy, so they might celebrate him as the changemaker, trailblazer, and hero we know he was.
That is why I introduced…

Halligan: What I saw going through the museum personally was an overemphasis on slavery, and I think there should be an overemphasis on how far we’ve come... We should be able to take our kids, our students through the Smithsonian and be proud when we leave…

Like countless other daughters of the diaspora, Marcus Garvey has inspired me since my earliest days. It’s past time that all Americans learn the truth of his legacy, so they might celebrate him as the changemaker, trailblazer, and hero we know he was.
That is why I introduced my new legislative initiative, the Marcus Garvey Legacy Package, which would exonerate him of the false, unjust, racially motivated charges that have stained his name for a century, as well as establish Marcus Garvey Recognition Day to commemorate his life and achievements.
The Legacy Package is the key to cementing Marcus Garvey’s rightful place in history and honoring his undeniable contributions to Black history and the cause of freedom, and I am filled with pride at the opportunity to champion this effort in Congress.
On this Save #SocialSecurity Day of Action, I’d like to thank each of our neighbors who joined Team Clarke for our Social Security panel, where Brooklyn’s seniors learned key information about accessing their benefits and ensuring they receive every resource they’re entitled to.
In the face of devastating attacks on Social Security from the Trump Administration and House Republicans, our best defense against their cruelty will always be to stay informed of the facts, and up to speed on any policy changes.
Social Security is an EARNED benefit. It is a promise. And we will always stand up to those who would dare to break it.
When law enforcement agencies continually abuse facial recognition technology and excuse its flaws and biases, it’s clear a federal solution is needed to protect Americans’ privacy and safety from this undercooked, overreaching, invasive tech – and that’s why I introduced the Facial Recognition Act.
Thank you to every officer and Brooklynite who made National Night Out 2025 a truly special experience! It was a joy to see you all, as well as a privilege to work at your side to build the bridges and create the relationships every safe neighborhood depends upon.
Happy Jamaican Independence Day to our friends in Jamaica and across the diaspora! Today, we honor Jamaica`s freedom and culture, and I am so proud to celebrate my heritage and uplift one of our great allies in the Caribbean. One love everybody!
Join me in celebrating Team Clarke’s Summer of ‘25 intern cohort on this National Intern Day! These dedicated young public servants are truly integral to the work we do in both Washington and Brooklyn. They’ve taken your calls, met with your neighbors, and advocated for your best interests every single day in our office. Each of them will always have my gratitude and appreciation, and I look forward to seeing the next steps they take in what are certain to be exceptional careers!
My heart goes out to the family of NYPD Officer Didarul Islam and our Bangladeshi neighbors in this time of terrible grief.
As Uterine Fibroid Awareness Month comes to a close, the work is far from over. Uterine fibroids affect millions of women—often in silence—across all backgrounds, yet the issue remains underrecognized and underfunded.
Earlier this month, I was honored to help bring visibility to this critical uterine health issue, including sharing a powerful message from Academy Award winning actor, @lupitanyongo. These conversations matter and help to drive real change across the finish line.
