My Democratic Women's Caucus colleagues and I are calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to pass a Farm Bill that puts women, children, and families first by adequately funding food assistance programs.

We are glad to see the Biden-Harris Administration's continued prioritization of maternal health through their investment to research pregnancy-related deaths and identify prevention opportunities. We will keep fighting to end the maternal mortality crisis.

#Project2025 is an attack on women and families. It eliminates Head Start, overhauls critical food programs, and restricts reproductive health care, among other horrendous provisions. We won’t stand for this.

We should NOT be making any cuts to life-saving food assistance programs like SNAP. But Republicans' #FarmBill would cut SNAP by $30B and rip food away from millions of our most vulnerable, including women & children. I'm joining my Democratic Women's Caucus colleagues to fight back.

We see through Donald Trump's pandering. We know he’s proud to have overturned Roe. We know he’s the architect of a cruel plan to go even further. We know he can’t be trusted with our freedom.

Politicians have no place in your private health care decisions. That’s why I’m fighting to restore reproductive rights at the federal level and codify Roe.

Care workers, a majority of which are women, are overworked, underrecognized, and underpaid. We will continue to prioritize passing policies that dignify and fairly compensate this critical work. There is too much at stake. forbes.com/sites/lizeltin…

As a working mom, I know the stress of finding affordable, high-quality child care. That’s why my Democratic Women's Caucus colleagues and I are fighting to ensure working families have the much-needed support and relief they deserve.

New research shows that tests for uterine cancer miss more cases in Black women than white women, who are also more likely to die from uterine cancer than white women. This is unacceptable. All women deserve access to accurate, quality health care. today.com/health/womens-…

Each summer, women’s employment rates drop while men’s employment stays about the same, as women take on the majority of caretaking for school-aged children. We must prioritize policies that allow women to both have a career & take care of their families. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

Proud to join my fellow Democratic Women's Caucus colleagues calling for Speaker Mike Johnson to fix the partisan #FarmBill. Extreme provisions in this bill will cut $30 billion in critical food assistance for hardworking families, says U.S. CBO. That’s unacceptable.

On this Labor Day, we mark the achievements and relentless advocacy of the American labor movement, including the women who paved the way for progress. We remain committed to policies that support women in the workforce.

Abortion. Birth control. IVF. Republican extremists are waging a war to eliminate reproductive freedom. Together, we can stop them.

Today, I joined leaders at the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC for a tour and roundtable discussion. As we head back to Congress next week, we must pass a robust Farm Bill that fully funds SNAP. Republicans' partisan bill is a non-starter.

Project 2025’s impact on reproductive freedom would be catastrophic. All women deserve access to contraception, abortion care, and the ability to make her own health care decisions. Period.

We are devastated by the loss of four lives at Apalachee High School in Georgia. Our hearts go out to the victims’ families, friends, and the entire community. It is deplorable that students fear for their lives at school. We will keep fighting to end gun violence.

We are heartbroken and horrified by the killing of Ugandan Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei after an attack by her partner. We will continue to work to end intimate partner violence and support survivors. espn.com/olympics/story…

In response to reports of toxic metals being found in tampons this summer, DWC members Rep. Summer Lee & Grace Meng and DWC Policy Co-Chairs Congresswoman Kathy Manning & Ayanna Pressley are urging the FDA to review and improve tampon safety standards. Read the letter: democraticwomenscaucus.house.gov/media/press-re…

Recent studies revealed safety concerns over ingredients in tampons, essential products used by over 30 million women in the US. I joined Democratic Women's Caucus to urge the FDA to review & improve current safety standards and protect the health & safety of women nationwide.

Women will use on average 7,400 tampons during their reproductive years—the least we can do is make sure those products are safe.
