Pressley Statement on House Passage of Gun Violence Prevention Legislation
In this moment of anti-Blackness on steroids, we’re not backing down in our pursuit of racial justice.
Proud to join @RepSummerLee’s resolution to demand #ReparationsNOW.
Reproductive justice & disability justice are inextricably linked.
With Republicans attacking Medicaid and reproductive freedom, I’m reintroducing our resolution affirming equitable access to reproductive care for people with disabilities.
Dr. Hailey Evans (@youve.got.hails) is a neonatologist and one of my constituents from Jamaica Plain.
She recently wrote to my office about the devastating impacts Republican Medicaid cuts would have for our postpartum patients and babies in the #MA7 and nationwide.
For Dr. Evans, these cuts would harm the patients she cares for, their families, and create large disruptions in finances for hospitals like hers that care for critically ill newborns.
“My patients deserve a well-funded Medicaid program,” she said.
In Massachusetts, Medicaid covers 39% of all children and pays for 32% of all births. The drastic cuts to Medicaid under Trump and Republicans’ bill would undermine Dr. Evans and her colleagues’ ability to care for these infants and leave them ill-served.
In her words, “Medicaid is fundamental to children’s health and incredibly important for the babies in our state and district.”
This essential program has helped us reduce maternal mortality, improve access to healthcare for our most vulnerable, and give families with premature babies a fighting chance.
That`s one of many reasons I voted against this harmful bill when it came before the House of Representatives. And that`s why the Senate must protect Medicaid, reject these devastating cuts and protect our families.
Medicaid is healthcare. SNAP is food assistance.
Both are lifelines and we’re not done fighting for them.
The Senate must reject Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill and protect our families.
Memorial Day is more than a kick start to summer or an excuse to barbecue.
It’s a day of solemn remembrance for those who never returned home.
To our fallen servicemembers and veterans from the #MA7: our hearts are with you and your sacrifices will never be forgotten.
It’s been 5 years since George Floyd was murdered & our communities are still plagued by mass incarceration, police brutality, & overcriminalization.
That’s why I’m reintroducing bold legislation to continue our push toward accountability, healing, & our collective liberation.
We’ll never have true justice for George Floyd.
True justice would be George Floyd alive today.
We owe it to George, his family, and everyone murdered by law enforcement to continue building a more just America where everyone can thrive & live free from fear.
Congrats @BUSPH Class of 2025!
Pursuing a career in public health, especially with public health under attack right now, is a noble act of radical courage.
Keep dreaming and doing the radical Work necessary to build a more just, healthy, and equitable world.
Trump is using Harvard students in his unlawful attempts to silence dissent, sow fear on campuses, and intimidate our immigrant neighbors.
But we cannot and will not give in to bullying.
I’m glad Harvard is standing firm and pushing back, and I’m proud to stand with them.
