Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” I'm grateful to those who shared their abortion story with me & re-affirmed why abortion care is essential. Together, we're fighting for every person to have access to the care they need.

Everyone should have the freedom to marry who they love. That's why I'm grateful for every advocate who organized to make Obergefell v. Hodges possible. And I won’t stop fighting to codify true equality for our LGBTQ+ siblings.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov22h ago(source)

I commanded a moment of silence on the House floor to honor the women who have died because they were denied essential abortion care. Everyday I will continue to fight for reproductive freedom in their name. Abortion care is a human right.

The reporting coming out of Venezuela is heartbreaking. I’m praying for the hundreds of people killed & those who have not been able to locate their loved ones. This disaster has destroyed lives, livelihoods, & homes. The US & our global community must provide support for the people of Venezuela.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov1d ago(source)

To the 1.3M TPS holders & their families: Your lives & livelihoods matter. Your humanity, dignity, & worth is not defined by the opinion of cruel, elitist, & wealthy conservatives on the Court or in the White House. America is still your home, and this fight is not over.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov2d ago(source)

Denied care. Today I offer a stark and damning picture, not to dissuade us from the work ahead, but to call us to action. Let me be clear: abortion care is essential healthcare.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov2d ago(source)

The most robust housing package in decades just passed Congress—& Trump is refusing to sign it into law. Instead of celebrating the ROAD to Housing, he's pushing us down the road to voter suppression. Trump must support this package—& my bills in it—to expand housing for all.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov3d ago(source)

Abortion care is healthcare and a fundamental human right. Together we're pressing for true justice and liberation. For an America where every person gets the care they seek. Where abortion care is compassionate, accessible, and essential.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov3d ago(source)

These bills move us closer to a more just America where everyone has a safe, healthy, & affordable home.

NEWS: I’m proud that Congress has passed my bills to: —Confront racial bias in home appraisals —Protect renters from abusive corporations —Expand access to affordable housing & —Help families build long-term financial stability

A graphic that reads:

The Appraisal Modernization Act: This bill would promote equity and combat systemic bias in the home appraisal process that has disadvantaged many current and aspiring homeowners—especially homeowners of color.

Helping More Families Save Act: This bill would help families receiving federal housing assistance achieve financial independence as a pathway to wealth building by modernizing and expanding HUD’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program.

A graphic that reads:

The Renter Resource Center Act: This bill would protect renters and strengthen oversight of corporations by creating a database of institutional investors that buy single-family homes, requiring HUD to provide resources to renters and more.

The Innovation Fund Act: This bill would establish a grant program to reward communities that are taking innovative steps to increase housing supply.

That means extending TPS & supporting a democratic transition.

It was great to welcome Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aim & Ambassador Lionel Delatour to Boston. I’m proud to co-chair the Haiti Caucus & advocate for our neighbors. We have a moral obligation to support Haiti’s stabilization & save lives.

The story of our nation is incomplete without the ongoing work of liberation. This Freedom Day, let us honor our ancestors through joy, action, organizing, and reparative policies that bring us closer to freedom. Happy Juneteenth, family!

It was great to be back in Cambridge to celebrate the $1M we secured to establish the Cambridge Community Center as New England’s first Resilience Hub. This hub will support our neighbors and Cambridge’s broader goals of climate resilience & emergency preparedness.

Since my discharge petition to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitians successfully passed the House, we’ve been pressing hard to advance this fight. We're ready to double down in the Senate and defend the safety, dignity, & humanity of Haitian neighbors once & for all.

Senator Markey seeks to extend humanitarian protections for Haitians - The Boston Globe

The bill would grant Haitians legal protections, shielding them from deportation, until after President Trump ends his term.

BREAKING: I'm introducing my FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act. This legislation would streamline wheelchair repair services by removing prior authorization requirements from Medicare Advantage plans. Our wheelchair users should not have to wait months for minor repairs.

A ceasefire is necessary & overdue. Trump has supported Netanyahu’s barbaric warfare at the expense of communities at home & abroad—and we’ve been pressing hard to stop this war. It’s essential this ceasefire holds & brings meaningful peace to the region.

Just your reminder that while Donald Trump does his vanity projects at the White House to appease his billionaire donors, he has done absolutely nothing to address the affordability crisis.

If this nation is serious about the next 250 years, it must prove it. That proof begins with Congress helping build a future grounded not in denial, but in repair. Our Reparative Justice Agenda is a reminder that reparations are not a charity. They are a debt long overdue.

In the face of authoritarianism & fascism, we cannot be complacent. We must be vigilant & proactive, because everyone has a role to play. Grateful to spend the day celebrating Black freedom at the Hyde Park Juneteenth Joy Celebration.
