I'm grateful for our Boston-based Black & brown creators. I've always been a firm believer that art & politics are deeply interconnected. And that's because our creators have the power to help uplift the issues we fight for, why justice matters, spark empathy & more.

Emmanuel Damas' death was entirely preventable. He died from sepsis. That started as a tooth infection while under ICE detainment. I’m urging DHS for a full investigation into his passing, and demanding proper medical care for all who remain behind the walls of these inhumane detention centers.

Emmanuel Damas died Monday from an untreated tooth infection, his brother said.

Sojourner Truth's fearless, courageous, & visionary spirit lives through our work. I was proud to moderate a Sojourner Truth Legacy Project panel of Black women to engage on issues like the pushout of Black women from the workforce & how to harness our power to better our communities.

This news is damning evidence of Donald Trump's irresponsible & chaotic policies. He is shamefully harming our economy and as a result, working people are losing their jobs—especially Black women.

Breaking news: The U.S. labor market lost 92,000 jobs in February, a striking loss signaling a warning flag for the economy.

The Trump Administration has failed to provide an evacuation plan for American citizens abroad. That's why we're urging the State Department to take immediate action to support the evacuations of American citizens & provide protection for embassy personnel throughout the Middle East.

“There’s nothing you can do but just sit and pray and hope nothing happens,” said Hassan Mourad, who arrived in Beirut last week on business.

When a nation loses care & concern for children, a nation becomes irredeemable. Small men wage endless wars because they are looking to profit, while it costs innocent lives. We will not tolerate Trump's callous disregard for human life. The war in Iran must come to an end NOW.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govMar 5(source)

I just voted YES on the War Powers Resolution because we must stop Trump’s war in Iran. Only Congress can authorize a war. Trump is rogue and reckless. He is acting with complete disregard for the lives of our service members and Iranian civilians and he must be stopped.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govMar 5(source)

Goodbye and good riddance. But don’t take the bait. Firing Noem alone won’t halt Trump’s campaign of terror. The atrocities happening by ICE behind the walls of detention facilities and in broad daylight have proven that ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE NOW.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govMar 5(source)

And there must be accountability for the killing of Emmanuel—it’s what his loved ones & community deserve. I won’t stop pushing for answers & accountability.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govMar 5(source)

He pleaded for access to necessary medical care for his toothache, a basic human right, and was denied. This rogue agency is killing our neighbors—behind the walls of detention centers & in broad daylight. ICE cannot be reformed, it must be abolished.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govMar 5(source)

Horrified by the death of our Massachusetts neighbor Emmanuel Damas in ICE custody. He was denied medical care for months. I’m sending his family my deepest condolences. A family who has been robbed of their brother & son. Emmanuel is at least the tenth person to die in ICE custody this year.

The unemployment rate is rising & the public deserves to know.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govMar 5(source)

On @dol.gov'sbirthday, I'm introducing the Better Labor Statistics Act to ensure transparent & detailed unemployment data is published every month. We cannot allow Trump to hide economic data just because he doesn’t like what it says about his policies.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govMar 5(source)

UPDATE: The House Oversight Committee successfully subpoenaed Pam Bondi to come testify. She has failed to follow through with the Epstein Files Transparency Act & must answer for her failures. Survivors deserve transparency, accountability, & healing.

From MA to MN & across the country, Trump’s anti-immigrant crusade is child abuse, neglect, & inflicting childhood trauma. In Trump’s America, childhood is being treated as a privilege instead of a right. We cannot allow kids to become collateral damage for cruel & morally bankrupt policies.

It was great to drop by More Than Words & hear from their young leaders on just how much this organization has changed their lives. They're a community space, an economic engine, & an essential resource to empower & support our youth. And this Congresswoman is grateful for them!

This Women's History Month, I'm honoring: —Women whose labor go unrecognized. —Women unjustly detained or incarcerated, separated from their babies. —Women mourning their loved ones due to endless wars & genocide. The daughters, mamas, & grandmas who keep us whole. Their livelihoods matter.
