We secured $17.1 million for 15 community projects in Michigan’s 12th District for home repairs, affordable housing, lead removal, flood recovery resources, and more! Since I’ve been in Congress, we’ve brought home over $52 million in community project funding for our residents.

I am deeply proud to not just serve as an unapologetic Arab American Congresswoman but also to represent the largest Arab American community in our country. We hosted an Arab American Heritage Month reception to recognize our incredible heritage and culture.

Congratulations to Laila Nasher, a dedicated community leader from Detroit, for becoming the first Yemeni American woman to earn the prestigious Truman Scholarship award. Born in Aden, Yemen, Laila is a student at Harvard studying social anthropology and history. So proud of you!

This Earth Day, I’m relentless in my advocacy for clean water and air. We won’t accept corporate polluters poisoning our communities as the norm. Michigan’s natural beauty must be protected for generations to come. Thank you Westland for inviting me to honor Earth Day.

People across our country are being forced to drink, bathe, cook, and wash dishes with water that is literally poisoning their bodies. That's why I'm leading an appropriations request for $1.5 billion in funding for lead service line replacement for the next fiscal year.

From UM to Vanderbilt to USC to Columbia, students across our country are being retaliated against for using their constitutional rights to protest genocide. It’s appalling.

This Black Maternal Health Week, I'm urging Congress to pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, which will extend WIC eligibility, fund community-based organizations, prioritize maternal mental health, and more.

Asna, @USC can never take away the fact that YOU ARE the valedictorian. I wish I could save you from the painful hate and racism from USC leadership and on your campus. You will be remembered as someone who stood for what is right even as they try to silence you.

USC announced that valedictorian Asna Tabassum’s commencement speech has been canceled, stating it was “necessary to maintain the safety of our campus and students” ‘I am surprised that my own university has abandoned me,’ Tabassum said in a statement

We are seeing the same "messaging" bills on the floor every single week. These bills are just an attempt to distract from the genocide in Gaza. I am not voting for any of these bills while the genocide of Palestinians continues.

The Congressional Mamas’ Caucus had the privilege of joining the Chamber of Mothers, Dads Caucus and Black Maternal Health Caucus at the Chamber of Mothers Power Breakfast to discuss the disparities in health care for mothers of color. Now let's pass the Momnibus bill!

We are facing a housing crisis. The average renter pays over 30% of their income on rent. I introduced the Public Housing for the 21st Century Act to ensure that public housing developers have access to the latest best practices using local policy tools and financing.

Guns now have more rights in this country than women do. It's sick. Congress must move with urgency to address our country’s gun violence crisis.

Black women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy complications. Our health care system has consistently neglected and mistreated Black women. This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek , I'm advocating to dismantle systemic racism in health care and pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus.

I presented Palestinian journalist Motaz Azaiza with a Congressional Record for his coverage of the Palestinian people and his commitment to telling their stories. Thank you @AzaizaMotaz9 for your fearless journalism. We pray for your healing and the end of the genocide in Gaza.

Our neighbors with disabilities cannot receive the quality health care they need and deserve when medical facilities lack accessible equipment. I joined @RepPressley in urging the Justice Department to help the disability community access equitable health care.

This is long overdue. We welcome the @EPA 's announcement of a new legal standard and $1B in funding to protect our families from toxic PFAS. These “forever chemicals” cause cancer and developmental damage, and this new standard will help hold corporate polluters accountable.

Safe drinking water is fundamental to healthy people and thriving communities. EPA is establishing the first-ever, nationwide, legally enforceable drinking water standards to protect communities from #PFAS , known as #ForeverChemicals .

Wow they aren't even hiding it. So shameful that Amazon spent over $3 million on union-busting last year. @Amazon made $30.4 billion in profits in 2023. They can afford to pay their workers the wages and benefits they deserve. Solidarity with the @AmazonLabor Union.

Amazon spent over $3 million on anti-union consultants last year, per new disclosures filed yesterday. More than $1 million of that went to/through Penne Familusi, whose firm received nearly $12 million from Amazon over 3 years. Lucrative work.
