Unapologetic Congresswoman fighting for justice for all. Proudly representing Michigan’s 12th District in the People’s House.
Detroit, MI
Joined December 2018
We’ve brought home $19,254,097 for 14 community projects in Detroit! This funding will improve the lives of our neighbors by providing home repairs, affordable housing, lead abatement, flood recovery resources, workforce development, and access to affordable health care.

Congress has the money and the power to feed every family, house every neighbor, and guarantee health care for every single person but instead, my colleagues choose to line their own pockets by supporting endless war. Our communities deserve better.

This is outrageous. The Trump Administration wants to roll back basic fair lending rules, including protections allowing women to get a loan without a man co-signing. Yes, you heard that right. We must oppose this appalling effort.
NFHA EVP @NikitraBailey is sounding the alarm on the Trump administration's plan to gut the law that gave women access to credit without the need of a male co-signer, and she needs you to join in with her.

There is no reason companies should be able to charge one person $3.99 for eggs while someone else pays $4.79 at the same store. This is outrageous. My Stop Price Gouging in Grocery Stores Act would ban surveillance pricing. https://t.co/DpfgcDOdot

The findings are the latest example of how the notion of a single price is breaking down in the digital age, a trend economists say could be pushing up some prices.

Our federal workforce deserves collective bargaining rights. I’m urging all my colleagues to support the Protect America’s Workforce Act. Federal workers show up for us every day. It’s time we show up for them.

Huge corporations now have the power to weaponize A.I.—not to help people, but to raise prices, even if their models are perpetuating discrimination. They’re trying to squeeze every dollar they can out of you.

Our immigrant neighbors have been telling us that ICE has been violating our rights since its inception. Yet we always find the money to arm them to do it and now they have turned on U.S. citizens. It's shameful.

Children can't learn and thrive when they are hungry. $6 a day is already shameful—cutting it even further is cruelty. Our kids deserve so much better.

This is piracy. Trump wants to send Americans to die and kill Venezuelans on behalf of U.S. oil companies and their profits. No regime change war in Venezuela.
BREAKING: Trump says the U.S. has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela amid mounting tensions with the Maduro government.

Imagine if our government funded our communities like they fund war.

LIVE: Masked ICE & CBP agents seizing U.S. citizens isn’t the nation we know & cherish. Totalitarian tactics have no place in our democracy. I hope that elevating these stories of abhorrent abuse will reinforce our resolve to preserve democratic rights.

So thankful for our seasoned residents in Livonia who came out to discuss the Republican Medicaid and SNAP cuts. These programs are lifelines for many seniors. We’re working together to make sure every senior in our community can access the care they deserve.

Let’s stop lying to ourselves—not everybody gets a fair shot at owning or renting a home. Decades of discrimination didn’t just disappear. The Trump Administration is gutting fair housing enforcement and fair lending regulations. Congress must put a stop to this.

Our communities shouldn’t have to carry the cost so big corporations can profit. Data centers are draining our resources, raising bills, and harming our neighborhoods. We deserve better.

Oversight of ICE is critical right now. I traveled to North Lake Detention Center, a privately-owned facility in Baldwin, MI, after receiving numerous complaints from families and advocates about the conditions here. Over 1400 people are being detained, including a 19-year-old

Our tax dollars shouldn't be used to strip people of their humanity or steal moments they can never get back. Mohan came to our country in his teens as a refugee seeking safety and now the Trump admin is tearing his family apart. This cruel targeting of immigrants must stop now.

I'm deeply concerned for the health and safety of the brave anti-genocide political prisoners on hunger strike across the UK. I call on the UK government to act to ensure their wellbeing and to meet their basic, moral demands. https://t.co/Rio2h2eT6R

Ending TPS for Haitians will force 330,000 people into violence and an escalating humanitarian crisis. Haitian families deserve safety and stability. The Trump Administration must reverse this cruel decision.

For more than 15 years, big banks ignored evidence of Epstein’s sex trafficking and repeatedly failed to file Suspicious Activity Reports, allowing his crimes to continue. They need to testify before Congress and be held accountable. Read my op-ed: https://t.co/knQBUDeOJP
