#WorldContraceptionDay
, let’s commit to bold action to make contraception easy to get, affordable, and available for all who want it!
Not a day goes by that I don't think about the victims of the mass shooting tragedy in my home of Monterey Park last January.
I'm so grateful to
@POTUS
, who created this office a year ago this week, and to
@VP
who leads it.
Together, we can end gun violence.
One year ago, President Biden established the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
Day in and day out, this Office is advancing our Administration’s commitment to ending our nation’s gun violence epidemic.
We're so pleased to announce
@SEEC
has grown to 100 members strong! We come from a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, & parts of America, but we all share the same core value that together we can achieve a cleaner, more prosperous future for our country & for the planet.
Great news! This Climate Week,
@POTUS
&
@VP
announced rapid growth of the American Climate Corps—over 15,000 young Americans are now in clean energy jobs.
Democrats' historic climate agenda has already boosted clean energy employment & are predicted to save 200,000 lives. 🍃♻️🌲
It's a big day for the American Climate Corps! One year ago this week, President Biden announced his intention to create the ACC -- a new initiative aimed at mobilizing a new generation into the climate and clean energy workforce of the future.
If you come for one of us, you come for all of us. As
@CAPAC
Chair, I stand in solidarity with Haitian immigrants and all of our immigrant families unjustly targeted.
Let's reject this vile rhetoric and instead advance policies that affirm the dignity and humanity of all people.
CAPAC stands united w/ the Haiti Caucus,
@TheBlackCaucus
, &
@HispanicCaucus
to condemn false, hateful, & dangerous lies directed at Haitian immigrants.
Perpetrated by Trump & Republicans, these disgraceful lies seek to sow division within our communities. We won't stand for it.
Not surprising—once again, MAGA Republicans pushed us to the brink of a government shutdown, but Democrats provided the votes to keep government's lights on & services running.
Our families deserve better than Republicans playing political games with their lives & livelihoods.
Even 4 years after the onset of the pandemic, millions in our AAPI communities report experiencing hate last year due to their race or ethnicity.
That rhetoric now fuels the anti-Asian, anti-immigrant policies and disinformation in Trump's Project 2025.
This
#BannedBooksWeek
, I stand with students & renew my fight against MAGA book bans in districts across the U.S.
Brave New World opened my eyes to the dangers of a controlled society—like the one now imagined by Trump's Project 2025—yet it's often banned for "negative" content.
Today, CAPAC Members urged
@ShalandaYoung46

@OMBPress
to help federal agencies implement the updated Statistical Policy Directive 15 so our government will better understand the outcomes and needs of our diverse AANHPI communities.

3 years ago today, the House passed my bill, the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which would take politicians out of the decisions you and your doctor make about your reproductive health care.
WHPA would guarantee abortion access nationwide—no matter what your zip code.
Americans are safer now than when
@POTUS
&
@VP
entered office.
That's because of their collaboration w/
@HouseDemocrats
to pass the most significant gun safety law in 30 years and the American Rescue Plan, the largest federal investment in fighting crime.
Donald Trump’s Muslim Ban was a shameful and painful chapter in our nation’s history. I joined
@RepJudyChu
in introducing legislation to ensure no president is able to enact similar bans in the future.
