While Trump & his co-conspirators continue their all-out assault on our fundamental rights, we’re calling on SCOTUS to uphold the law and preserve access to medication abortion. Our amicus brief makes it plain: mifepristone is safe, effective, & must remain accessible.
An article by The Hill titled: 250+ Democrats urge Supreme Court to overturn abortion pill ruling.
We won't let Trump, Republicans, or the Supreme Court erase Black voters, Black power, and Black progress. While they come for our fundamental freedoms, we'll continue to litigate, legislate, organize, and mobilize for our full rights and citizenship.
Due to predators like Epstein & Maxwell, survivors had their bodies, dreams, & dignity violated. They were mere children. I'll never stop pushing for the accountability, transparency, and healing they are owed—and a reckoning is on the way.
The Equal Rights Amendment has been a beacon of democratic values for over a century. Yet our current protections remain vulnerable. That's why we convened an ERA Caucus roundtable with experts on how we can continue advancing our strategy for equal rights under the law.

John Lewis said it best: In a democracy, the right to vote is the most powerful, nonviolent tool we have. People marched, protested & bled for that right. But today it's under attack. We must defend the right to vote & we can start by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
BREAKING: A court packed with Trump-appointed extremists decided to make medication abortion harder to access. Let's be clear: mifepristone is safe, effective & FDA approved. We won't stop fighting to protect our reproductive freedom & this basic, essential form of healthcare.
BREAKING: A federal appeals court has blocked mailing prescriptions to mifepristone, restricting access to one of the most common means of abortion.
Minority-owned small businesses are under-served by our financial system, and Trump's proposed regulations would make that worse. That's why we need policies like my SPARK Act, which would ensure that these small businesses are invested in and supported.
That's why we've fought hard for Ellen and federal workers like her to be reinstated so they can continue serving our country. I’m so glad to hear she was reinstated & restarted her job this week. But she should have never been fired to begin with.
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.
A graphic that reads:

Rep. Pressley unveils the Housing FIRST Act - bold legislation to help people who are formerly incarcerated and those with criminal histories access safe and stable housing.
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
