The recent threats to our nation’s HBCUs are disturbing and dangerous.

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…
Just horrific news. My heart goes out to Charlie’s wife, his children, and all his loved ones in this tragic moment.
Our struggle to rid America of the sins of gun violence and political violence must continue. We can only reach a better America if we’re willing to build it.
Political violence is an evil upon our world. It has no place in America, nor any society that strives to be just and decent.
No matter your political opinions, this is a dark day for our country.
My prayers are with Mr. Kirk, his family, and his loved ones.
The recent threats to our nation’s HBCUs are disturbing and dangerous.
Students should be able to attend classes within institutions of higher learning without the fear of becoming targets of retribution or retaliation. These institutions have faced their fair share of discrimination and on-campus violence from the impacts of segregation and Jim Crow.
I urge DHS, the Justice Department, and the FBI to investigate and apprehend all those involved.

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!
On this Labor Day, I’m proud to stand with the hardworking people of NY-09 and across this nation – from healthcare workers, educators, transit operators, small business employees, and union members who keep America moving forward.
Today, we celebrate generations of hard-working people – who organized, sacrificed, and spoke out against injustices on the job.
In Central Brooklyn, we know that our communities are stronger when our laborers are protected. I remain committed to fighting for fair wages, equitable and safe working conditions, and the right to organize.
To all the workers of NY-09 and throughout America: we see you, we thank you, and we’ve got your back.
Join me and @repjeffries tomorrow in Brooklyn for a workshop to enhance your resume writing skills and enhance your interviewing abilities.
Finding a job requires a whole different set of skills than it takes to perform one, from creating a strong resume to shining during an interview.
These two workshops will explain how to craft a resume and cover letter, as well as what makes an interview successful, whether you’re actively applying or want to keep those skills fresh.
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.
