Still a lot of bills up in the air in the final days of the Texas Legislature. But this one ain't. SB 147 the bill to ban Chinese citizens from buying land in dead after TX House committee refused to consider it https://t.co/5KOx8QroXg via @houstonchron

Corporations have a moral duty to stop financing gun violence.
🧷Guns don't make us safer. Banks must pledge to end political donations to NRA-backed and endorsed lawmakers or political candidates. ✊🏽Join our rally with @AMarch4OurLives to demand @WellsFargo and other banks to cut ties with the gun industry. 📝RSVP: https://t.co/YutHG2V5cM

Very proud of @Grace4NY and @mazieforhawaii for their tireless advocacy on this!
I am thrilled that my #AAPIMuseum bill passed the Senate today and is now moving to the President’s desk. I can’t think of any better way to celebrate AAPI heritage month than signing this historic bill into law! Thank you @SenSchumer & @maziehirono for making it happen!

May we all have @CoryBooker in our corner at the most important moment of our lives 🙌
Sen. @CoryBooker to Judge Jackson: "I'm not letting anybody in the Senate steal my joy...Don't worry, my sister. Don't worry. God has got you. How do I know that? Because you're here and I know what it's taken for you to sit in that seat."

For the first time in nearly 2 yrs, leaders & advocates from #AAPI communities came together in Washington, DC last week. What could bring this group together for an in person meeting? Nothing more critical than #VotingRights. If we don’t get this one right, nothing else matters.

Today I signed my first ordinance as mayor! It’s an important one that will require Boston to divest from fossil fuel companies & other harmful industries—replacing them with green, socially responsible investments.

Important conversation. We must not forget #Atlanta
📢2020 set a record for #gunviolence in the US. The majority of gun violence is interpersonal violence, #domesticviolence & gun suicide, and much of the violence can be mitigated with proper regulation. Join our discussion on #GunViolencePrevention: https://t.co/gXkioHik5x
