I’ve worked for #FairMaps since I helped lead the creation of the California Independent Redistricting Commission. Independent commissions make our politicians more accountable to you. They give communities with common interests a voice. We won a major victory. 2/2

I’m proud that #HR1 includes my Redistricting Reform Act! We will require states to create independent commissions to draw congressional maps. Politicians should never again be allowed to pick and choose their voters. #ForThePeople 1/2

I’m glad to see Paul Manafort will face justice for his crimes. However, the fact that his sentence was 15 years below the recommended guidelines is a reminder that our justice system contains deep inequalities that aren’t just.

The #EmpowerAct provides commonsense reforms to protect men and women from workplace harassment. We can end the culture of fear and silence. I’m proud to be a cosponsor. https://npwf.info/2XC1RhC 

On this #InternationalWomensDay, join me in pledging to work every day for true equality. We must empower, trust, and respect women everywhere.

This is a historic day. We’re passing sweeping legislation to make our democracy more truly democratic. We’re building a government that works for you. Together, we’re cracking down on dark money and corruption, confronting voter suppression, and working to end gerrymandering.

.@LeaderHoyer is exactly right. I led the Redistricting Reform Act with my colleagues, @RepBrownley and @RepZoeLofgren, and I couldn’t be prouder to see it pass the House in #HR1 today. #ForThePeoplehttps://twitter.com/LeaderHoyer/status/1104023768182210561 …

The American people want their federal government to be honest, and responsive. HR1 is about putting power back in the hands of voters and citizens, rather than special interests.

Today is the 54th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma. Courageous activists, including @RepJohnLewis, risked everything for equality, and for the right to vote. We must remember their sacrifice and carry on their struggle.

Proud to join my great friends @Rosa_DeLauro and @RepDelBene to introduce the American Family Act—legislation that will more than triple the Child Tax Credit for families with young children. After the GOP Tax Scam, we're working for a fairer tax code for working families.

The Senate will reject the President’s #FakeEmergency, as it should. His emergency declaration is an abuse of power, and is not justified by the facts on the ground.

We must pass HR1. We have an opportunity to restore voting rights, confront gerrymandering, and tackle the corrosive influence of dark money in politics. We can take real action to end corruption. We’re delivering #ForThePeople

There can be no more doubt, and no more excuses for inaction or delay. The planet can’t wait. It’s time to #ActOnClimate – I’m proud to support the Green New Deal.

Michael Cohen’s testimony was dramatic— and raises further questions. We must continue to call witnesses and conduct investigations. We need other Trump organization officials to testify. We need the President’s tax returns.

ICYM: This week I joined bipartisan partners to fight for democracy and human rights by introducing the Cambodia Trade Act. When we fail to provide a voice for oppressed people around the world, we badly weaken our global leadership.
