  1. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of those killed in Boulder, including a Boulder police officer. How many more times will families be torn apart by gun violence? This has got to stop — we must end this epidemic.

  2. What message do we want to send women athletes and all the young girls that look up to them: That they're worth less than the men — or that they're just as worthy of our time, energy, and investment? Enough is enough. Give women athletes their due.

  3. Patsy Mink broke barriers as the first woman of color elected to the House of Representatives and the first Asian-American woman to serve in Congress. And as the co-author of Title IX, she broke barriers for women's education and sports across the country.

  5. This is outrageous — but it's not just about the weight room. From their facilities, to their food, to giving them less reliable COVID tests, the women's NCAA basketball teams are being shortchanged. Give women athletes the respect they deserve.

  8. My heart breaks for the families of those killed in Atlanta. This violence must stop. It's on all of us to step up and loudly condemn violence against Asian Americans — and the bigoted language which fuels it.

  11. Republicans are introducing bills across the country to make it even harder for you to register and cast your vote. John Lewis and I introduced a bill to fight voter suppression — now a part of the Act. We must pass it to protect his legacy and the right to vote.

  12. Eight people were killed in a mass shooting in Atlanta last night — the majority of them Asian women. My heart is with their families. This has to stop. We must condemn the bigotry and hatred that fuels horrific violence and stand with our AAPI neighbors.

  15. On her birthday, we honor and celebrate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's incredible life and her remarkable legacy. She was a trailblazer and a champion for women's rights who inspired generations of women—including me—to follow our dreams and never let barriers stand in our way.

  16. The American Rescue Plan just erased $4 billion of debt from black farmers. This is an important first step, but so much more needs to be done to correct decades of discrimination and injustice. It's time to pass the Justice for Black Farmers Act.

  17. Activist and performer Marsha P. Johnson was one of the leading forces behind the Stonewall Uprising and in the fight for LGBTQ+ civil rights. She also founded STAR with Sylvia Rivera to help transgender youth experiencing homelessness in New York City.

  18. If you're struggling to afford health insurance, the American Rescue Plan will help. The bill will cover 100% of your COBRA premium, and cap premiums for ACA state exchange benchmark plans at 8.5% of your income.

  19. Breonna Taylor should still be alive today. We can't erase the pain and grief of her loved ones — but we will keep fighting for justice and accountability in her name. We must pass the Justice in Policing Act to ban no-knock warrants and to hold police officers accountable.

    Undo
  20. One year ago today, COVID-19 was officially declared a global pandemic. Today, President Biden signed the into law. Now we have the resources we need to end this pandemic, re-open safely, and help families recover. Help is here.
