Support minority-owned businesses.
Congress needs to support our small businesses who have been impacted by #COVID19, especially our minority-owned who systematically face lending discrimination. A 41% decline in Black-owned businesses is devastating for our economy—we must do more.
Work together to address systemic racism.
Even before #COVID19, our country faced a severe racial income gap. We need to work together to address the systemic racism that perpetuates economic inequalities.
An attack on the basic healthcare needs of women
Today’s #SCOTUS decision is an attack on the basic healthcare needs of women in universities and the workplace. As an attorney, I fought for health insurance companies to cover contraceptives, and I’ll always work to protect every woman’s health care needs.
55 Years of Medicare and Medicaid
Today in 1965, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law, providing essential health care to seniors and low-income communities. Millions of people today, here in North Carolina and across the country, rely on these critical programs to protect their health and well-being. I will fight to protect Medicare and Medicaid, and ensure people have access […]
U.S. Veterans Administration
Today in 1930, the U.S. Veterans Administration was created to support and consolidate federal services to our veterans. Our veterans deserve to be seen and treated as the heroes they are, and I’ll continue to fight for them and fair funding for the VA in Congress.
USPS: Snow, rain, sleet—and even a pandemic.
The @USPS is an indispensable part of our lives. They work through snow, rain, sleet – and even a pandemic. Voters are using them to vote safely with mail-in ballots. Thank you for the essential service you provide and for keeping our country running. #NationalPostalWorkerDay
Legally issued work visas are NOT the reason for U.S. COVID-19 spread.
Let’s be clear: Legally issued work visas are NOT the reason for COVID-19 spread in the US; the problem sits squarely on the shoulders of the inadequate and, at times, harmful responses of the President. The last thing we need is to slow growth and hinder necessary workers. I’ll fight for common-sense solutions in Washington, […]
Leandro Implementation
When I helped on the Leandro case 23 years ago, I did so because every NC child should have access to a sound basic education. It’s past time for the #NCGA to stand up for our children and ensure a quality public education for every child. https://www.wral.com/editorial-no-excuses-back-leandro-implementation-now/19156768/
Major DREAMers Victory Today
A major victory for DREAMers today from #SCOTUS. Now Congress must pass a permanent solution to fix our broken immigration system. We must protect families, workers and strengthen the American Dream for all. #DACA
Standing with our LGBTQ community.
In #COVID19 & while we celebrate #PrideMonth, the administration announced rollbacks on health care protections for the LGBTQ community. I stand with our LGBTQ community against discrimination & will continue fighting for accessible health care for all.
