    Our response to Hurricane Maria was completely inadequate. We haven’t done enough to provide relief or push for accountability. We must honor the 1,427 who died and ease the burden on those still suffering by helping them rebuild. We must pass the U.S. Territorial Relief Act.

    BREAKING: Almost 11 months after Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico concedes more than 1,400 people were killed by the storm last year -- not just the 64 in the official death toll.

    Nine million households in the U.S. don’t have access to basic banking services like a checking or savings account. Postal banking could easily change that by providing these tools at local post offices. It’s a solution that just makes sense:

    People sometimes ask me: “Why focus on women’s issues?” I say: Because women make up 51% of the population – and empowering them to reach their full economic potential is good for women, our families and our economy.

    Congratulations to for winning the Democratic nomination for MI governor! About two million people raised their voices at the polls yesterday, shattering the last primary turnout record. This is how we’ll change the game in November.

    Change starts with your vote. If you live in KS, WA, MI, MO or OH, make sure to vote today for candidates who will fight for the issues we care about most. If we all come together and raise our voices for progress at the ballot box, we’ll change the face of Congress.

    I started to get progressive women into the conversations happening in Washington. Let’s keep that momentum going for the women facing primaries today to make sure they take their races across the finish line in November. Get out to the polls and vote!

    If you live in KS, MI, MO, OH or WA, make sure you get out to vote today, and encourage your friends and family to do the same! We have the opportunity to elect more women this year than ever before, but it all comes down to making your voice heard at the ballot box.

    We win this fight by making sure everyone has a seat at the table. That means hiring more women of color to leadership positions. It means electing more women of color to high office. These are critical voices in our fight for equality, and we won’t get there without them.

    In New York City, wage inequality for women of color is even worse. Black women make just $0.57 for every dollar paid to a white man. We can’t achieve true equality until every woman, no matter her race, gets equal pay for equal work.

    Today, on Day, we recognize that as we fight for women’s rights, women of color face ever greater injustices, including an even larger wage gap. While women make $0.80 for every dollar a white, non-Hispanic man makes, black women make just $0.63.

    It’s unacceptable that anyone in one of the world’s richest countries would be left without basic health care. Everyone should have access to the care they need, period. I’m fighting for Medicare for All to invest directly in people and families, not insurance companies’ profits.

    You all have spoken out against every one of President Trump’s dangerous policies. We need to keep doing exactly that. Keep resisting. Keep raising your voice. But most importantly, keep voting. We must hold this administration accountable at the ballot box this year.

    Our underserved communities deserve access to the basic financial tools that could empower them to build wealth. By creating a bank within the United States Postal Service, we could give every American an accessible, low-cost banking option that could wipe out predatory lending.

    On this day in 1965, the Voting Rights Act became law. We've come a long way, but we still have much further to go. Gerrymandering and voter ID laws targeting communities of color still disenfranchise many Americans. We must keep fighting to protect everyone’s right to vote.

    This is crunch time for Gretchen as she heads into Tuesday’s primary, and she’s counting on us to make sure she has what she needs to win. Every dollar makes a difference right now. Can you give just $5 now to make sure Gretchen wins this tough primary?
