Thank you, Madam Speaker. You’re an inspiration to us all. https://t.co/PNxX9rkbsc
Evergreen Baptist Church with Bishop L. Lawrence Brandon, Greater St. John Missionary Baptist Church with Bishop Gregory Payton, Beth Eden Baptist Church with Dr. Dwight Webster, and Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church with Bishop J.R. McClain.
First, I met with Bishop L. Lawrence Brandon, the senior pastor of Evergreen Baptist Church. We discussed how the Black church is in the spotlight and ready to get out the vote. https://t.co/M42YBg11iG
Bishop J.R. McClain of Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church shared with me that his family and church members are voting and they will do an extra push to get their friends and neighbors to the polls. https://t.co/D8PcL1mLYS
At Greater St. John Missionary Baptist Church, I recited Reverend James Cleveland’s classic, “I Don’t Feel Noways Tired.” “I’ve come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy.” WE have come too far not to vote. https://t.co/QStyRfEFeB
You have one more day, you know what to do. https://t.co/XUFJ82WTg6
Then I joined Pastor Michael McBride, co-founder of @blackchurchpac, Rev. Dr. Jacqueline Thompson, pastor of @allentemplebc, and other local pastors and faith leaders on the steps of the Alameda County Courthouse at the "5000 Souls to the Polls" rally.
Black churches have always led the fight for democracy and civil rights. On Sunday, I visited four churches known for their activism and service to our community:
TOMORROW: Come out and show your support for Prop 1 at the @CA_Dem's Rally for Reproductive Freedom! Join us at 1 PM at UC Berkeley as we rally to make abortion access a fundamental right in California. #YesOnProp1 https://t.co/zeSEfZjRWI
Happy birthday, @GovernorNewsom! Thank you for all you do for Californians—from leading the nation on clean energy to ensuring our state is a sanctuary for those seeking an abortion. We are fortunate to have you at the helm.

People of color, women, and low-income workers are impacted the most by student loan debt. And while canceling up to 20k is a start, it’s not enough. We need to cancel ALL student loan debt so we can root out inequities and give every person the chance at financial stability.
Join me now at the introduction of my bill with @ChrisVanHollen @SenBooker @RepDannyDavis, the Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Centers Act ⬇️ https://t.co/FAk8HRGvlm

@POTUS took a step in the right direction to safeguard reproductive care and privacy for millions today. It’s vital that we continue to fight for expanded access & insist that the Senate carve out the filibuster & produce the two votes necessary to pass Roe into law.
#Juneteenth is a day for reflecting and rejoicing. The U.S. has come so far since the end of slavery but there’s still progress to be made. Congress needs to pass #HR40 to establish a committee on truth and racial healing and dismantle forces of systemic racism once and for all.
Today is Election Day! Go vote. If you’ve already voted, remind your friends and family to vote. Your vote is your voice—make sure it's heard. It's the best way to have a say in our democracy. Find your closest polling location here: https://t.co/cUXmNb0i7o

Happy #MothersDay to my angel mommy Mildred Parish Massey, whose spirit is with me & whose loving voice I hear every day reminding me "can’t" should not be in my vocabulary.

Madeleine Albright was a shining example of what it means to be a skilled and thoughtful diplomat. She moved diplomacy forward, and as a result inspired millions. She will be deeply missed. https://t.co/zOGRc7XLBz
Judge Kentaji Brown Jackson’s credentials and track record as an accomplished lawyer and well-respected jurist make her the ideal Supreme Court Justice. We must #ConfirmJackson.
I am devastated by the passing of Madeline Albright. As a refugee, skilled diplomat, 1st female Secretary of State, & champion of democracy, she was a huge inspiration to myself & millions of others. Sending my deepest condolences to her family. May she Rest in Peace. https://t.co/BK4WwVhD7d
With a rising racial wage gap and piling student loan debt, Black women are faced with insurmountable systemic barriers upon college graduation. We need to #CancelStudentLoanDebt so all graduates have an equal opportunity to build generational wealth. https://t.co/BjWUjkUIQp.

The rioters ultimately failed to overthrow the election. But the siege on our institutions is nowhere close to being over. By spreading corrosive lies, Republicans are stoking the flames of dictatorship & authoritarian rule. My full statement: https://t.co/JWaaqZgcaM
The next attempt to subvert election results may not be in broad daylight like the insurrection. But it will be equally malevolent. As we speak, states are quietly advancing deeply discriminatory laws that undermine our election integrity. We must pass the #FreedomtoVoteAct.
