My heart goes out to the Jackson family and my dear colleague and friend @RepJackson—we stand with you & for you in this trying time. We are somebody because of you, Rev Jackson. Rest in peace and power.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govFeb 18(source)

But he will also be remembered for the quiet moments. If you were in his company, you would feel seen. You would feel seen in your own struggle to be understood, in the fight for this country. His fight for justice, for humanity, for Black liberation & Black joy lives on in every one of us.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govFeb 18(source)

I grew up as one of the community children of Rev. Jackson. I grew up proximate to the work of operation PUSH & Rainbow PUSH coalition and his dynamic leadership. He is rightfully praised as one of the most consequential figures of the 21st century, an early architect of the Civil Rights Movement.

I woke up today and still couldn’t believe this is true. Admittedly, I’m very much in denial. As many have heard me say, Chicago is the city that raised me, and Boston is the city that changed me.

Wishing a Happy Lunar New Year and a prosperous year ahead to those in the #MA7 & across the globe! It was a joy to ring in the new year at a festival with the Vietnamese American Community of Massachusetts.

@repilhan.bsky.social invited me to join her in Minnesota to check on communities terrorized by ICE. Minnesotans are showing up for their neighbors, proving what's possible when we unite for good. We’ll continue to stand up for our immigrant communities & fight to abolish ICE.

Never too late for a Valentine’s Day card from your Congresswoman 💟

We can never get true justice for those killed by ICE. Because true justice would mean they would be alive today. But our demands for accountability remain clear: Abolish ICE. Impeach Kristi Noem. End qualified immunity.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley holds a sign that reads ‘They Deserve Justice’

Policy is my love language. Here are a few policies I’m fighting for this Valentine’s Day:

Marsha P. Johnson said it best: "No pride for some of us, without liberation for all of us." I'm proud to be a co-sponsor of the Trans Bill of Rights. Our trans siblings deserve safety, dignity, & freedom.

The Trans Bill of Rights would guarantee federal protections for trans people. Send the message and urge your members of Congress in the House and the Senate to co-sponsor the Trans Bill of Rights: christopherstreetproject.org/tbor

THIS is what happens when we lean into our collective power. A testament to public pressure—Minnesotans standing up for neighbors & pushing back together. ICE is not welcome in MN, MA, or any community. Block DHS funding. Impeach Kristi Noem. End Qualified Immunity. ABOLISH ICE.

The immigration crackdown in Minnesota that led to mass detentions, protests, and two deaths is coming to an end, border czar Tom Homan said.

Republicans' election bill is Jim Crow voter suppression. It would disenfranchise millions of voters, silence your voices, & dilute our electoral power. And that's exactly why I voted NO.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govFeb 11(source)

These survivors were harmed by so many powerful people & failed by institutions meant to protect them. We demand thorough investigations followed by swift accountability for all who enabled & incited this abuse.

NEWS: The House passed two of my bills under the Housing for the 21st Century legislative package. My Helping More Families Save Act & Eviction Helpline Act will help families achieve financial goals & access eviction-related assistance. Now the Senate must pass them without delay.

A graphic that reads:

Passed out of the House

Helping More Families Save Act: Scales up the Family Self-Sufficiency program that helps families achieve their financial goals.

Eviction Helpline Act: Requires HUD to establish and promote a national hotline to provide eviction-related assistance.

That’s why I introduced the Appraisal Modernization Act with @warnock.senate.gov.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govFeb 11(source)

Black homeowners have long suffered home devaluation by an appraisal system rife with racial bias. It is past time we update our appraisal system to ensure all homeowners are treated fairly & can build generational wealth.

Today marks a significant victory for Rümeysa, due process, & our democracy. She should have never been abducted & transferred thousands of miles away to begin with. The #MA7 is her home—where we always fight for our neighbors.

Since day 1, Donald Trump has attacked diversity, equity, inclusion, & accessibility to roll back decades of civil rights protections. @jonathanjackson.house.gov & I are demanding transparency and calling on the Admin provide a full account on the impact of these harmful executive orders.
