My constituent Ellen Mei, a dedicated USDA employee, was unlawfully terminated after warning the public of the administration’s cuts to SNAP. She is an essential worker who is damn good at her job and who took an oath to serve and give back to our communities daily—to literally feed our neighbors.
A photo of Ellen Mei smiling and another photo of Ellen listening to Rep. Ayanna Pressley provide remarks during a press conference on federal workers.

Housing is a human right, but discrimination against folks with criminal records has been a barrier to housing, economic stability, and public safety. My bill with Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib would help disrupt the prison-to-homelessness pipeline and advance housing justice.

As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry daily. That's why I've been pushing for the transparency, healing, & accountability survivors of Epstein's abuse are owed. They deserve nothing less, and we won't let up. #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth

Last year Republicans gutted SNAP & kicked millions of families off food assistance to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Now they want to double down & extend those cuts for 5 years—hurting children, elders, & folks with disabilities. I am vehemently opposed & urge my colleagues to vote NO.

Last night House Republicans passed a budget bill that gives ICE & CBP $140 billion to continue their campaign of terror & violence against our communities. Unconscionable. I voted NO & will keep fighting to abolish ICE, end qualified immunity, & hold this lawless agency accountable.

Today we filed contempt charges against Pam Bondi for refusing to testify about the Epstein files coverup. 45 mins later, the GOP announced her appearance date. We'll keep pushing for accountability. Whether you’re a politician, prince or president—a reckoning is on the way.

Today, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on Trump's cruel and unlawful attempts to end Temporary Protected Status. TPS holders are essential and our message to the Court is simple: do your job, uphold the law, save lives, & protect our communities. Their home is here.

With this shameful ruling, the Supreme Court is once again complicit in Republicans' assault on our democracy and Black political power. This decision will disenfranchise millions of people, further weaken the Voting Rights Act, and embolden racial discrimination in our elections.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a majority Black congressional district in Louisiana, weakening a landmark voting rights law’s protections against discrimination in redistricting.

TPS holders have served as a backbone for our families, our economy, and our country. That's why we're calling on the Supreme Court to uphold the law, save lives, and defend Temporary Protected Status. Because an attack on TPS holders is an attack on all of us.

Every survivor deserves to be heard, believed & have their experiences centered. Grateful to stand with survivors today as they demand accountability. Their testimony is powerful & I'll carry their stories with me as I keep pushing for the healing they deserve.

Deeply relieved that everyone at the WHCD is physically safe & the agent hospitalized has been released. Violence in any form is unacceptable & I condemn it fully. Shootings in our classrooms, our faith houses, our grocery stores, our neighborhoods, or political events should never be normalized.

My Books Save Lives Act makes it clear: Book bans deny us our civil rights & freedoms. We will fight to protect diverse books & Black, queer, and marginalized authors—because everyone has the right to learn and see themselves reflected in our literature.
