57 years ago, the #CivilRightsAct banned discrimination based on race, religion, sex, or national origin. From the #SNCC to the BPP to Congress, I've been in the fight for #civilrights my entire. Our work isn't done until equal justice under law is a reality for all Americans.
My REFUSE Confederate Principles Act would go further by establishing a @NatlParkServlce program to expedite the removal of more than 1700 Confederate statues and monuments that shamefully remain in public places today.
Symbols of slavery and segregation should have NO place in the U.S. Capitol. Today, I voted to replace the bust of Chief Justice Taney — who wrote the Dred Scott decision — with a bust of Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first Black American to serve on #SCOTUS. #RemoveHate

ICYMI: @USPS finally heeded my call for new leadership in Chicago. The unacceptable breakdown in mail service has gone on for far too long, and my constituents have borne the brunt of it. I look forward to working with Postmaster Morgan to resolve these issues. https://t.co/M0Jj8eIccq
In Illinois, corporal punishment in schools is still legal, and Black and disabled children are most likely to be targeted. It's time to end this immoral practice for good. Today, I'm proud to join @RepMcEachin on the Protecting Our Students In Schools Act. #KeepSchoolsSafe QT @RepMcEachin: Throughout the nation, there are nearly 20 states where corporal punishment is still a permissible form of discipli… https://t.co/pW9joDlSpo)
The Minority Business Development Agency cannot justify its existence in terms of results — most minority businesses are not even aware that it exists. It should be scrapped and replaced. Watch my exchange with @SecRaimondo at today's @EnergyCommerce #SubConsumer hearing ⬇️ https://t.co/FoE5DT8M0G
Excited to join local leaders today for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of @CookCtyHeath’s new Blue Island Health Center in the 1st District. This facility is long-awaited and much-needed & will bring vital healthcare services closer to my constituents. https://t.co/H4VObSSSUs
My full statement marking one year since the murder of #GeorgeFloyd: https://t.co/uVp211M3tX
#GeorgeFloyd’s murder shocked our nation’s conscience and sparked a historic wave of activism in righteous defense of Black lives, reminiscent of how Emmett Till’s lynching sent shockwaves through the country and galvanized a generation of civil rights leaders.

I commend the @FCC’s recent actions to lower prison phone rates & agree with @JRosenworcel—there is more we must do so that no one has to choose between paying bills & speaking to a loved one who is incarcerated.
