I am concerned the ShotSpotter Detection Program could be causing civil rights violations through unjustified surveillance and over-policing of Black and Brown communities. That's why I'm calling on DHS Office of Inspector General to investigate federal funding for it.
The Banking on Climate Chaos report is clear—banks are gambling our future on investments that fuel the climate crisis. In 2023, banks invested more than $700 billion in fossil fuels despite net-zero commitments. Let’s pass my Fossil Free Finance Act now. theguardian.com/environment/ar…
It's crucial that the US and China maintain an open dialogue to forestall the AI arms race. I urge President Biden to continue these talks. My Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous AI Act with Rep. Ted Lieu will ensure AI isn't involved in the use of nuclear weapons.ft.com/content/e10b03…
A healthy economy—and a healthy planet—will be built by and for union workers and frontline communities. It was great to join Massachusetts AFL-CIO. Let's put clean energy dollars to work with union jobs and deliver climate, economic, and health benefits to doorsteps across the country.

Immigrants deserve respect and access to the opportunities our nation offers. But millions of undocumented immigrants live in fear of separation from their families. That's why I joined Senator Alex Padilla in urging President Biden to take executive action to support undocumented immigrants.
