Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley

Nolan Wells was a beloved son, student-athlete, & a Black boy who deserved to grow old.

Though true justice would mean Nolan would be alive today, we’re pushing for the accountability his family deserves.

I grieve for his loved ones & join their demands for an independent investigation.

Americans hold $500 billion in medical debt, burdened by the most challenging crises in their lives.

We used to have consumer protections to relieve that burden—until CFPB Director Vought rescinded them.

His legacy will be one of hurt & harm. The people deserve better.

The implications of the SCOTUS ruling to allow TPS termination are nothing short of catastrophic.

Seniors will lose their caregivers.
Business owners will lose their staff.
And children will lose their classmates.

This fight is not over. The Senate must act.

I voted against $3.3B to fund genocide.

Mothers should not be burying their children. Babies should not be crying for their murdered parents. The US cannot continue to fund death and destruction carried out by the Israeli government.

If you aren’t a TPS holder yourself or have a loved one who is a TPS holder, know that TPS holders are essential to your daily life too.

We must act now to extend TPS for Haiti and ensure Haitian TPS holders can continue their contributions to our communities & care economy.

The Boston Globe @bostonglobe.com

In today’s Starting Point, Massachusetts health care operators are expressing alarm over the Supreme Court ruling siding with the Trump administration’s effort to end immigration protections for Syrians and Haitians.

Who will take care of our older and disabled people? - The Boston Globe

Health care operators in Mass. express alarm from the Trump administration's effort to remove Haitians here.

I’m glad CFPB Director Vought is on his way out.

But he needs to know exactly the harm he has caused to families.

He gutted consumer protections, dropped settlements against predatory companies, eliminated medical debt relief, & made life worse for everyday people.

Frederick Douglass’ speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” serves as a powerful reminder of our nation’s greatest contradiction—an exclusive democracy.

As we mark America’s 250th we must remember: we cannot celebrate freedom while the U.S. denies it to millions.

Like his predecessor, Todd Blanche has refused to release the full Epstein files.

He will continue the White House cover-up to protect Donald Trump. That’s why the Senate must reject his nomination.

Survivors deserve better.

On Black Women's Equal Pay Day, I partnered with @itsafronomics.blacksky.app to make plain that attacks against workers begin & end with Black women.

Our op-ed explores the parallel crisis Black women are facing in low pay & high unemployment and what Congress & the Fed should do about it.

DEI policies have supported women in every aspect of their lives.

That’s why Republicans are hellbent on emboldening greater discrimination & dismantling civil rights protections.

Congress must codify gender equality & pass my bill to make the ERA the law of the land.

▶

Fascist attacks on museums are not just about history, they're an assault on truth itself.

That’s why Trump is working overtime to turn our museums into instruments of MAGA propaganda.

He’s pressuring the Smithsonian to remove, whitewash, & rewrite our stories. But we won’t allow it.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a beloved husband & father who worked hard to provide for his family & strengthen his Houston community.

I stand with the Salgado family in demanding accountability & a full investigation.

No life should be stolen by ICE.

ABOLISH ICE. Accountability NOW.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com

Ronaldo Salgado relayed his panicked search for his father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, as he joined local legislators and activists in calling for a full and transparent investigation into the killing on Tuesday in Houston. https://wapo.st/4vUxMt9

Joan Sebastian Guerrero should be alive today. A dedicated dad & husband, working hard to support his family, Joan should be here with his wife & his 3-year-old daughter.

ICE agents executed him while his family watched in terror; forever traumatized.

Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

And now he’s trying to rig this year’s election with the SAVE America Act to make it harder to vote for millions of women, veterans, rural folks, & voters of color.

Traffic stops have long been weaponized against people of color.

ICE agents are purposefully following & targeting our immigrant neighbors.

Just this week, they murdered two fathers in their cars. These unwarranted stops must be halted & ICE must be abolished.

The Associated Press @apnews.com

BREAKING: President Trump says ICE should continue traffic stops after recent fatal shootings, seeming to contradict a new order to suspend them.

Trump: ICE should continue traffic stops after recent shootings, seeming to contradict new policy

President Donald Trump says Immigration and Customs Enforcement should continue traffic stops after recent fatal shootings, seeming to contradict a new policy to halt them.

The Black unemployment rate is alarmingly high, and our entire economy suffers as a result.

When Black workers lose, everyone loses.

That's why I demanded Fed Chair Warsh uphold the Federal Reserve’s mandate of maximum employment for ALL workers, especially Black workers.

All Americans should be part of our democracy—but some states deny people with a criminal record their right to vote.

While Trump—who also has a criminal record—attacks voting rights, our Inclusive Democracy Act would expand access to the ballot box for disenfranchised voters.

For many, their wheelchair is a lifeline.

My constituents shared with me how my FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act to remove burdensome requirements for wheelchair repairs would be essential to their mental & physical health, mobility, and everyday lives.

The American people don’t need ballrooms, they need housing.

The ROAD to Housing package—including my four bills—would tackle the housing affordability crisis head-on.

We’ve passed this bill & we’re waiting on Trump to sign it into law.

This Disability Pride Month, we celebrate the dignity, humanity, & joy of our siblings with disabilities.

As we commemorate the passing of the ADA, we affirm that disability rights are human rights and we must continue to dismantle barriers faced by the disability community.

Wheelchair breakdowns can be traumatizing & dangerous—often limiting wheelchair users' mobility & access to work, school, appointments & more.

My FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act is essential to livability & would streamline repair services by removing unnecessary paperwork.

Amber Nicole Thurman should be alive today.

Republican abortion bans cost her life-saving care, and eventually her life.

Her story is not an anomaly. We're fighting every day to save lives & fight for abortion care that is accessible & treated as the essential healthcare it is.

Donald Trump, sign the damn bill.

Speaker Johnson, do your damn job.

This housing bill is long overdue. It is needed. It is popular. It is important. Everyone needs housing.

Headed to the Senate floor to urge Senators to extend TPS for Haiti NOW.
