Pressley Statement on Passage of Respect for Marriage Act
Our approach to public safety must center care & healing, NOT criminalization & incarceration.
Proud to join @RepCori, @RepKatiePorter & the Community Safety Agenda to advocate for life-saving policies like our Counseling Not Criminalization in Schools Act & People’s Response Act.
We must de-escalate the Middle East & facilitate a lasting ceasefire in Gaza to save lives.
Nearly 34,000 Palestinians have been killed, over 100 hostages remain captive, & millions are facing starvation.
A regional war would be disastrous and we need a #CeasefireNOW.
I’m joining @EdTrust & education leaders on Wednesday to discuss my #BooksSaveLives Act and our fight against book bans nationwide.
Everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in our literature and to learn #HonestHistory.
RSVP now: https://edtrust.org/cant-be-erased-rally-against-book-bans/.
Wishing all #BostonMarathon runners good luck!
And holding space for those still healing from the trauma of the attack 11 years ago.
I’m grateful for our city’s unity & urge folks to come together for acts of kindness — & if necessary, seek out the help you need. #OneBostonDay
It’s been 101 years since the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced, and equality is long overdue.
TY @GeorgetownLawOfficial for hosting @RepCori & I to discuss our Work with the @ERACaucus to pass the ERA & enshrine gender equality in the Constitution.
With this news, hundreds of thousands more borrowers will see meaningful relief.
It’s never been clearer that student debt cancellation is popular & sorely needed action that the people demand & deserve.
@POTUS must continue to #CancelStudentDebt for as many people as possible.
FACT: FDA rigorously reviewed mifepristone research.
FICTION: Judges know better than public health experts.
FACT: Mifepristone is safe and effective.
The facts are adding up — medication abortion is a safe form of routine healthcare and mifepristone access must be protected.
Everyone has a right to read, learn, & see themselves reflected in our literature.
This #NationalLibraryWeek, I’m giving librarians their well-deserved flowers & continuing to fight against book bans nationwide.
Congress must pass my #BooksSaveLives Act to do just that.
Community colleges like @BHCCBoston and @SeeRoxburyCC help over 10 million students earn a degree each year.
Their impacts stretch far beyond the classroom, and we must invest in them like the public good that they are.
Happy National Community College Month!
