During Black August we honor Black freedom fighters & continue their work for our collective liberation.
That includes defending Diversity, Equity & Inclusion to ensure opportunities for all of us.
And it means advancing an affirmative vision for a more just America where everyone can thrive.
60 years ago, Medicaid & Medicare were signed into law, allowing folks in the #MA7 & nationwide to access high-quality, affordable healthcare.
With Republicans making the largest cuts to healthcare in our history, I’ll keep fighting to protect & expand these lifesaving programs.
With Republicans banning books nationwide, I’m grateful for local bookstores preserving underrepresented voices in literature.
The freedom to pursue boundless knowledge must remain just that: a freedom.
Thank you to @AllSheWroteBooks in Somerville for letting me drop by.
The members of @Teamsters25 deserve a contract that reflects the dignity of their work.
I’m leading my MA Congressional House colleagues in urging @Republic_Services to return to the bargaining table in good faith & negotiate a contract with fair pay, quality benefits, & a safe workplace.
Thank you @RepStephenLynch & @RepMoulton for leading this letter with me & our colleagues Congressman Richard Neal, @USRepKeating, @RepKClark, @RepMcGovern, @RepLoriTrahan, & @RepAuchincloss for your partnership.
For too long, our institutions have been more concerned with protecting predators than centering survivors.
That has to change.
For me and for all survivors, releasing the Epstein files is deeply personal.
This is about transparency, accountability, and healing for survivors.
Newborns denied formula. Children denied food. Entire families murdered with weapons of war.
This genocide must end. Israel must end the blockade immediately. We cannot and will not look away.
The @UFIBoston in Mattapan is doing incredible work promoting access to healthy foods & standing in the gap to support vulnerable residents.
It was a joy to join them in community last week for live music, to shop local produce, & to learn more about their efforts.
As a survivor of sexual violence, our work to release the Epstein files is deeply personal.
Healing, transparency, and accountability is long overdue.
Trump’s first six months in office have been a relentless assault on diversity, equity, & inclusion.
But we won’t stand by as he and Republicans resegregate America & roll back our hard-earned civil rights.
We’ll keep fighting to #DefendDiversity and ensure everyone can thrive.
