On House Floor, Pressley Honors Boston AAPI Activist Caroline Chang
250 years later, we honor the heroes who joined shoulder to shoulder with their neighbors at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
It was a joy to celebrate these patriots in Charlestown & re-commit to perfecting the Union of States these Bostonians, Bay Staters, & Americans helped forge.
@Gr8BosFoodBank & @MassGeneralBrigham’s new report is damning: 1 in 3 adults in MA is food insecure.
But instead of investing in ending hunger, Trump and Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill would rip food away from millions of families.
We’ll keep fighting to stop this cruel, shameful bill from becoming law.
Thank you to GBFB and MGH for the essential work you do, for inviting us to tour your facility during the district work period, and for conducting this important study.
The Constitution is clear: no President can go to war without a vote in Congress—period.
I joined my House colleagues on a resolution to prohibit an unauthorized war with Iran.
Diplomacy and saving lives must be the priority and we cannot let America get dragged into another endless war.
Happy Freedom Day, #MA7!
No better place than community to mark Juneteenth and celebrate Black joy, Black history, and Black emancipation.
On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black joy, Black history, Black brilliance, and Black emancipation.
We honor our ancestors whose resistance and sacrifice made this day possible, and we thank today’s freedom fighters who carry forward their legacy.
Swipe to learn more about the holiday, how we got here, and how we can legislate to realize our collective liberation.
In Chelsea, our immigrant neighbors are being terrorized by Trump & ICE, and families are living in fear.
We held a town hall there to affirm that an attack on our immigrant community is an attack on all of us.
And we’ll keep fighting to support them at every level of government.
Adriana Smith should be here today. Her voice trusted, her medical crisis treated, her life saved, her dignity honored. But instead, her body was made an incubator for months following her death, her family denied the right to make personal medical decisions.
A Georgia abortion ban denied her basic medical care and robbed her of her dignity. I am heartbroken. I send my deepest condolences to her family as they navigate their grief and finally lay Adriana to rest, and I am holding her sons in my heart.
In Adriana’s name, we press for true reproductive freedom and a just America for Black mothers and their babies.
Genetic data is among the most intimate and sensitive personal information to exist, but 23andMe are failing in their responsibility to protect it.
That’s why myself, @rep.elicrane, @repdavemin, and @repericburlison are calling on them to ensure they get consumers’ consent before including this data in any bankruptcy sale.
Congrats to my constituent, Nathan, whose piece ‘The Cary House in Rising Spring’ won the #MA7 2025 Congressional Art Competition.
As a Chelsea High School student, Nathan wanted to showcase the beauty in Chelsea to challenge the negative connotations & stigma that surrounds it.
