The rise of nonconsensual deepfake pornography is a grave threat & Congress must act.

Each day that goes by without comprehensive legislation, more victims are intimidated & traumatized.

I joined @RepAOC, @DemWomenCaucus, & @SophiaBush to shine a light on this critical issue & discuss how we can confront it.
Disabled women make just 67 cents for every $1 paid to nondisabled men, even when working full-time, year-round.

On this first ever Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day, I’m joining @DemWomenCaucus & @RepWexton to demand pay equity for all women.
I worked with @SpeakerPelosi, @rosadelauro, & @USGAO to publish a groundbreaking new report that confirms what we’ve known:

Black girls are facing a crisis of criminalization in schools. And the way to address it is through trauma-informed policy like my Ending PUSHOUT Act.

Congress must act.

To our Haitian neighbors in Ohio, Massachusetts & across, America:

I see you & stand with you.
Your lives are deeply valued.
And your dreams & struggles matter.

Proud to join the Haiti Caucus to celebrate the Haitian people & condemn the false, hateful attacks against them.

For Black women, the personal is political, including how we wear our hair.

I spoke with @BET about our work to build a more just America where everyone can show up authentically without discrimination or putting their health at risk.

For too long, the presence of police in schools has caused our students to be criminalized for normal adolescent behavior.

I joined @benandjerrys, @AMarch4OurLives & @ChrisMurphyCT to highlight the Counseling Not Criminalization in Schools Act to promote safe, nurturing, & trauma-informed schools.
Our families & communities need more than just thoughts & prayers.

They deserve policy solutions that treat gun violences as the public health crisis that it is.

@RepJamesComer we're calling on you to act & hold a hearing on mass shootings NOW.
