Transgender servicemembers should be allowed to serve with dignity and respect. Their contributions and sacrifices keep everyone at home safe. Trump & Hegseth's ban is unconstitutional and discriminatory—and it must be reversed immediately.
To our LGBTQ+ siblings in the #MA7 & across the country: Happy Pride Month. This Congresswoman sees you, loves you, & celebrates you. And I'll always fight to ensure everyone can show up in the world as their full authentic selves.
A graphic that reads: Happy Pride Month.
That’s why in Congress I am fighting to ensure true progress is met with policy—working to advance HR40, legislation to confront the lasting legacy of slavery and advance reparations. Because reparations are not charity. They are a debt long overdue. We need reparations NOW.
From Tulsa to Boston, our legacies move through us. As we mark the 105th commemoration of the Tulsa Race Massacre, we honor the Black lives stolen in Tulsa and carry the mantle left by Mother Viola Ford Fletcher, Hughes Van Ellis, and others who led calls for essential reparative justice.
A graphic that reads: Commemorating the Tulsa Race Massacre.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we need to continue breaking stigmas & barriers that restrict access to care. Because invisible scars don't just heal on their own. That's why I keep fighting for policies that make mental health care more accessible & affordable.
Voting by mail is safe, secure, & constitutional. Even Donald Trump votes by mail. Yet, he wants to disenfranchise millions who vote by mail because the American people overwhelmingly reject his failed policies. And he can't win without cheating every step of the way.
A federal judge declines to block President Trump’s executive order tightening rules on mail-in voting in a loss for the Democratic Party, whose lawyers argue that it could disenfranchise millions of voters.
I stand with the fathers, mothers, & loved ones behind the wall at Delaney Hall holding a hunger strike to protest ICE's abuse. They’re suffering from inhumane conditions, delayed medical care & fear of retaliation. Shut down abusive ICE facilities like Delaney Hall. Abolish ICE. Reunite families.
Exactly. Not only is Trump’s slush fund unlawful, it’s a downright denial of reparative justice for those who deserve it. Trump would sooner reward white supremacists who attacked our democracy than Black folks plagued by the inequities perpetuated by slavery & discrimination.
BREAKING: Federal judge temporary blocks Trump administration's ‘anti-weaponization’ fund.
Pam Bondi obstructed the release of the Epstein files, violated the law, & denied transparency to the public and survivors. The cover up continued today with Bondi’s closed-door deposition because this White House is afraid of the truth coming out. All to protect Donald Trump, not survivors.
Donald Trump wants every federal worker to sign an NDA. Because he knows his Administration is breaking the law repeatedly & he’s afraid of whistleblowers telling the American people the truth. To our whistleblowers: don’t forget you’re protected under federal law.
The Trump administration is proposing a rule to require federal workers to sign nondisclosure agreements, according to a draft notice the Office of Personnel Management posted.
This cruel and unnecessary change is designed to uproot students, workers, and families who contribute to our communities and have waited years for their green card. Trump’s USCIS is trying to destroy pathways to legal immigration—but we will continue to fight back.
A tweet by USCIS that reads:

USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept.
Trump and Republicans want to take America back to pre-Reconstruction. They want to silence Black votes, restrict our fundamental freedoms, and dilute our representation. But we’ll continue to organize, mobilize, fight, and vote for our full rights and citizenship.
Donald Trump's reckless economic policies and targeting of Black workers are crushing Black America. And the harm is coming for everyone. Congress must advance policies that protect civil rights, expand opportunities for all, and make the economy work for everyone in America.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley and the Color Of Change hold a press conference with advocates to sound the alarm on the state of the Black economy and the harmful impact of Trump and Republicans’ agenda on Black communities.

Felicidades to Vanessa & Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción on the official opening of La CASA. This is now the largest Latino cultural center in New England, and it gets to call the #MA7 home. It was a joy to tour the facility and meet the staff alongside @ocasio-cortez.house.gov.

Memorial Day is a day of reflection and remembrance for those who never returned home. To our fallen servicemembers, Gold Star families, and veterans from the #MA7: our hearts are with you and your sacrifices will never be forgotten.
Control of the Women's History Museum belongs to the women who built this country — NOT Donald Trump and his political allies. We'll keep fighting to honor women's history and pass legislation to establish this museum without any harmful Republican amendments.
Devastated by the loss of Boston firefighter Robert Kilduff Jr. in Dorchester last night. Bobby paid the ultimate sacrifice while saving the lives of others, and our city will always be grateful. I'm praying for his family, loved ones, and the Boston Fire Department community.
Our Haitian TPS holders play an essential role to our care economy and communities writ-large. Our report makes that plain and it's a reminder of why we must extend TPS for Haiti, protect our seniors, & do right by this essential workforce.
The Trump administration’s efforts to revoke humanitarian protections for Haitians would significantly exacerbate nationwide healthcare worker shortages, limit available health care services, and endanger patients, according to a new Mass. report.
