You might wonder how it is that, in the wealthiest nation in the world, Black women are still 3.5x more likely to die during pregnancy than their white counterparts.
The answer is a tragic mix of intentional neglect and systemic apathy. And it’s only gotten worse under Donald
Black Maternal Health is a public health crisis.
This Black Maternal Health week we are supporting and uplifting the Momnibus legislation—designed to end preventable maternal health death in America.
It's time to put an end to the maternal health crisis.
Donald Trump knows full well about the Haitian people’s plight. But instead of alleviating their pain, he sickly hopes only to participate in it.
Today, the House passed bipartisan legislation to extend TPS for Haiti and keep 350,000 Haitian Americans right where they belong.
If you need examples of good and decent Americans, look towards the Haitian family up your street.
The 350,000 Haitian TPS holders living in this nation deserve more than to be treated as numbers for Donald Trump’s deportation machine.
With the advancement of @RepPressley and
You might wonder how it is that, in the wealthiest nation in the world, Black women are still 3.5x more likely to die during pregnancy than their white counterparts.
The answer is a tragic mix of intentional neglect and systemic apathy. And it’s only gotten worse under Donald Trump’s orders.
As Black Maternal Health Week comes to its close, I was proud to stand with Congresswoman Robin Kelly in the fight for a nation that lets each Black woman and her child live in the good health and safety they deserve.

Because we refuse to stand by while this president tries to turn our neighbors into numbers for his deportation machine.

Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder was a tragedy, and anyone who says otherwise has no place in public service.
However, I will not pretend to respect the harmful ideologies he proudly held, nor will I honor a man who built a career out of dishonoring Americans like me.
I voted no.
Jimmy Kimmel’s firing was an absurd abuse of power – that’s why I joined with @repfrankpallone to demand an FCC Oversight hearing IMMEDIATELY so we can have an opportunity to hold Chairman Brendan Carr accountable for weaponizing the FCC against free speech and expression.
Trump is hellbent on whitewashing the African American experiences in this country. No matter how many signs or exhibits this administration removes from our nation’s museums or national parks, our history will not be silenced.
The American people have a right to know history in its entirety: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — and we have it all. History will record the fact that, on the orders of Donald Trump in the year 2025, all these historical artifacts were removed to distort the past to appease denialists.
As we mark the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, please join me in celebrating our beloved Latino neighbors!
Now more than ever, they deserve to know how deeply we value their cultures and contributions.
Now more than ever, they deserve to know we will always stand with them.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party are determined to drag this country back to a time when Black voices were shut out of the democratic process.
We will not allow it.
The stakes are far too high.
And this fight is far from over.
As we pause today to remember the lives lost on #September11th – a day that forever changed our city, our nation, and the way we live – join me in honoring the first responders, families, and communities who experienced unimaginable loss.
Like all proud daughters of New York City, I will never forget where I was on that fateful day, and the countless stories of bravery and unity that emerged from such a dark moment in time.
Wishing all of our city’s students, parents, teachers, and faculty a very happy First Day of School!
Another year, another special West Indian Day Parade alongside our dear friends and neighbors from across the diaspora!
Our cultures and communities are unlike any others, and that is why I am truly blessed to call myself a woman of Caribbean descent.
One Love, everybody!
