Equal pay is key to financial stability, yet women—especially women of color—still face pay inequities. The Equal Pay for Equal Work Act would reestablish the National Equal Pay Enforcement Task Force to help close the gender pay gap and create a more equitable future for all.

Ms. Hattie B. Dorsey understood that affordable housing is key to helping families attain stability. Her legacy lives on through projects like Campbellton Ten Townhomes, where families can now build wealth and create lasting memories on Hattie Drive and Dorsey Drive.

On this day 69 years ago, Emmett Till ignited the #CivilRightsMovement when his life was tragically cut short by hate and white supremacy at just 14. His death sparked a movement, but we must never accept the injustice that led to it. #RestInPower

On the 61st anniversary of the #MarchOnWashington, we honor the progress made but know the fight for equality isn't over. With Project 2025 threatening DEI initiatives and worker protections, we must stay vigilant and continue the fight for justice and true equality.

The current farm bill cuts $30 billion from SNAP which would disproportionately impact women and children. My Democratic Women's Caucus colleagues and I sent a letter to Speaker Johnson urging him to revise the bill. We can’t leave our most vulnerable behind.

Affordable housing is a cornerstone of stable communities and generational wealth. As a member of the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services I’m committed to closing the racial homeownership gap and ensuring everyone has a place to call home.

Happy 94th Birthday to the incomparable Civil Rights Leader and Broadcast Executive, Xernona Clayton! She worked alongside Dr. King and Coretta Scott King and later became the first Southern Black prime time talk show host. Without her Atlanta wouldn’t be the city it is today.

Care work is the backbone of our economy that makes all other work possible. As a mama and a caregiver, I know the challenges families face. We need affordable child care, paid leave, and policies that treat care workers with dignity. #CareCantWait

Heartbroken by the murder of innocent hostages, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American brutally taken by Hamas terrorists. My prayers are with his family and all those enduring unimaginable pain. Every hostage must be released. Bring them all home.

My heart sank the instant I heard “GA school shooting, victims transported to Grady.”💔 My prayers are with the families, students and faculty reeling from yet another horrific school shooting. Protecting children shouldn’t be a political issue. ENOUGH 11alive.com/article/news/l…

I sent a letter to Governor Kemp with concerns about how his administration may be illegally cracking down on voters. The right to vote is sacred, and I will always fight to ensure every vote is counted.
