The state of our reparations movement is strong, and in this moment of heightened anti-Blackness, we are more resolved than ever.
In the last legislative session, I held a staff briefing to discuss #HR40Reparations & how we can keep pushing to get this bill over the finish line.
We cannot allow AI to go unchecked, unregulated, and be the latest chapter in America’s history of exploiting marginalized groups.
That’s why we must invest in an approach rooted in equity that protects the rights of everyone.
Our interns do incredible work and keep our offices running — taking constituent calls, sorting mail, conducting tours, researching, and so much more.
I’m grateful for Grace, Diana, Bella, and Kristina’s service to the #MA7 and our democracy this past spring session.
Since Dobbs, abortion bans have cost folks’ their lives, worsened the Black maternal health crisis & pushed essential care out of reach.
Now Republicans are gutting Medicaid, defunding Planned Parenthood & moving us closer to a nationwide abortion ban.
The cruelty is the point.
Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill is threatening the I-90 project, the most transformational and community-driven project our Commonwealth has seen in generations.
This is disgraceful and it’s a direct assault on the communities who depend on it.
The I-90 project is an opportunity to address decades of harm, reconnect neighborhoods, and build the accessible and safe transit infrastructure that Allston Brighton residents deserve.
We fought hard to deliver these funds and we cannot allow extremist Republicans to rip it away.
Nations are not just governments & regimes—they’re people.
Mothers, sons, loved ones whose stories echo our own.
From Boston to the Middle East, our destinies are tied.
We must press for peace, diplomacy, & our shared humanity.
Heartbroken for everyone impacted by the catastrophic flooding in Texas, including those who’ve lost & are still searching for loved ones.
And I’m grateful for the work of our dedicated first responders.
My team and I stand ready to support any impacted families from the #MA7.
A trailblazing, beloved, & proud daughter of Roxbury, Sarah-Ann Shaw dedicated her life to educating & empowering the City of Boston by unapologetically telling our stories, shattering concrete ceilings & mentoring other Black journalists.
To have known Sarah-Ann was to love her, and I’m grateful for her family, @MayorWu, @BPLBoston, & for those who advocated for this library renaming as a powerful tribute to her mark on our home.
May her legacy be forever honored in Roxbury.
I was a congressional aide for 16 years before being elected to Congress.
And in that time, I learned the importance of creating and taking up space.
I recently joined @CapitolHillCBA and told our dedicated Black Hill staffers: take up space, you all belong everywhere.
