💰We secured over $13 million in federal funding for community projects across the #MA7 . So far we've brought home over $35 million to build a more just & equitable district. I'm proud to partner with municipalities & grassroots orgs to continue delivering for our communities.

To our Haitian siblings in the #MA7 and beyond: We have not forgotten you and we'll never stop fighting for the just future you need and deserve. Congress and the Biden Administration must move urgently to stabilize Haiti, address the crises on the island, and save lives.

The @US_FDA 's proposal to ban harmful chemicals in hair relaxers is a win for public health—especially for Black women whose health has been disproportionately put at risk. The Biden Administration should finalize this rule without delay.

FDA misses own deadline to propose ban on cancer-linked formaldehyde from hair relaxers

The government regulator said in October that it would propose a ban on the use of the chemical, which is commonly in hair relaxers used primarily by Black women.

The initial 504 rule to protect people with disabilities from discrimination was created before the internet had even been invented – it’s been long overdue for an update. The final rule we unveiled today reflects input from advocates and @POTUS ’ commitment to this issue.

It's 2024 and anti-Black hair discrimination is still disrupting our lives. We re-introduced the #CROWNAct because no one should have the right to punish you for how your hair grows or how you show up in the world.
