The FDA did the right thing when it heeded our call and proposed a ban on formaldehyde in chemical hair relaxers, which disproportionately harm Black women.
That’s why @Rep_Velazquez, @RepShontel & I want FDA to save lives and finalize this ban without delay.
Project 2025 was written by Trump allies for a Trump White House to advance a Trump agenda.
And his DNA & fingerprints are all over it.
We won’t stop conducting oversight, pushing for accountability, and doing everything we can to prevent Project 2025 from becoming reality.
Community orgs like @ifsiusa have been doing essential work supporting immigrant families across Massachusetts.

That’s why I’m fighting for investments that help our seniors access safe and affordable housing that meets their needs.
TY Blake Estates in Hyde Park for the opportunity to hear directly from our seniors.
Project 2025 will be disastrous for Black America.

Our full statement ⬆️
Project 2025 is a threat to Black America and everyone who calls this country home.
We must keep sounding the alarm and make sure it never becomes reality.
