The American people have a right to leaders who are willing to fight for them and their families. House Democrats will always put People Over Politics, because we’re determined to deliver the progress our communities demand of us.

It's time to get real about women's health. Women's health topics often carry a stigma, and we need to break the silence. Talking openly about these issues isn't just for women; it's for everyone. Together, we can make a difference. #NWHW #WomensHealthWeek

My mother, Dr. Una S.T. Clarke, is the strongest, most fearless woman I’ve ever known. I would not be the person I am today without her guidance and love – and I know of countless women who can say the same of their mothers. Happy Mother’s Day to her and every mom, today!

House Democrats are determined to defend our fundamental freedoms from the growing tide of far-right attacks. We won’t rest until we restore reproductive rights across America and secure every woman’s access to birth control, fertility services like IVF, and abortion care.

Wishing a happy birthday to a true inspiration, Ms. Viola Ford Fletcher! We must never mistake the Tulsa Race Massacre for a distant historical footnote, but rather a crime that remains within living memory. And its victims deserve justice.

Today is the 110th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher. She’s one of two remaining survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Her case for reparations from what happened is now in the hands of the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

Today is #FreeThePill Day, a reminder that birth control must be accessible to *everyone* who wants and needs it.   As a member of the @ProChoiceCaucus , I'll keep fighting to safeguard access to contraceptive care.

President Biden’s budget proposal calls for an increase in capital gains tax up to 44.6%! This would be the highest capital gains tax the US has ever seen. There’s more: it also calls for a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains. It’s only for households worth at least $100…

More than 65,000 households in #NY09 will soon be facing unaffordable new prices and risk losing the internet access they need for work, school, health care, and all the economic opportunities an internet connection brings. Congress needs to extend funding for the ACP NOW.

Today should have been Ahmaud Arbery’s 30th birthday. Like so many young Black men before him and so many after, his life was cut tragically short by the same violence and bigotry that has plagued Black Americans for centuries. We deserve freedom from hate. We deserve to live.

America owes a debt to Haiti. Repaying it begins with ensuring that a Haitian led democracy & freedom ring true in the US, Haiti, & across the globe. Proud to stand with my fellow Haiti Caucus co-chairs & @TheBlackCaucus to demand the support our beloved Caribbean ally deserves.

The loss of the ACP will deny millions of Americans the opportunities provided by affordable internet access. Without it, many will be left behind, widening the digital divide. We must pass the bipartisan Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act NOW.

The Affordable Connectivity Program is a lifeline for millions of seniors, veterans, and families who are lower income to afford high-speed internet. We must pass the bipartisan Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act to keep this critical program funded.

Closing the digital divide benefits all Americans, & it's something all Democrats & Republicans should be able to agree on. The +23M US households that rely on the ACP to help pay their internet bills could soon be on their own. Congress must act now to save this vital program.
