In March, we issued our 2023 Executive Action Agenda. The Biden admin has since acted to:

✔️Expand healthcare to DACA recipients
✔️Invest in care workers
✔️Hold airlines accountable
✔️Reduce methane pollution
✔️Ensure clean water for all

The fight to deliver continues in 2024.

I’m pleased to see the Biden admin propose a rule to streamline & modernize the H-1B visa process for employers & immigrants. The US needs global talent for everything from new tech to AI — that's why I led over a dozen colleagues in a letter supporting this proposed regulation.

ICYMI: It was great to tour the new Thunderbird Treatment Center on Vashon Island, a facility that I was proud to secure $5 million in federal funding for and will help those seeking treatment for addiction. komonews.com/news/local/rep…

America is a nation of immigrants. Politicians across the country who use hateful language to demonize those trying to come to our country are using immigrants as a political football to distract from the fact that they cannot deliver on meaningful policy.

It’s unacceptable.

This is a MAJOR step toward social & racial justice from President Biden!

Black people are far more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession & use, and this action is long overdue. Next, let’s decriminalize, legalize, & invest in those disproportionately harmed by the war on drugs.

A big win for voters in Wisconsin and democracy as a whole!

New maps will ensure that every single voter has a voice in their state legislature — a right that all Americans should have.

The climate crisis is a threat to our entire existence — our homes, our jobs, and our economy.

We must take bold, immediate action to save our planet and life as we know it. theguardian.com/environment/20…

This is horrific and unacceptable. If Israel refuses to stop its bombardment and killing of Palestinians, then the US must refuse to provide Israel with weapons. Hamas must go, but killing untold numbers of innocent civilians is against the laws of war & is collective punishment.

We've called for President Biden to activate FEMA to help people experiencing homelessness move into permanent, affordable homes and provide longer term rental assistance so renters can stay housed.

On National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day, we must recommit to the work of saving lives.
