This is the first week of Democracy Summer 2021 and I'd like to introduce you to some amazing change-makers who decided to use this opportunity to strengthen their skill sets while serving the community. Let’s get to work! #HorsfordFellows2021 https://t.co/PkNdtRf98T

This is a historic day for LGBTQ+ representation in sports. Carl Nassib’s courage will help so many people feel accepted. His announcement today came with a $100,000 donation to the @TrevorProject, an org. focused on preventing suicide in LGBTQ+ youth. https://t.co/ObypgoBXb5
Low-income families who have not made enough money to be required to file taxes can still receive these benefits. Non-filers click here: https://t.co/ExAFtFRIQi
The Child Tax Credit brought forward through the Biden Administration’s American Rescue Plan is a historic step towards reducing child poverty. Working families will receive monthly payments for kids up to 17 yrs old. https://t.co/yFTpQb3lJv
RT @SenTinaSmith: Our bill to make #Juneteenth a federal holiday just passed the Senate!
Last night, I was glad to attend the @MilitaryOfficer and Service Academy Parents Club of Las Vegas cadet send-off dinner. I'm proud that my office was able to help eight students from #NV04 receive appointments this year, including Hayden and Devin. Good luck! https://t.co/PSuKgIYfZn
Caregiving is essential — and so are caregivers. Today, I stopped by Silver Sky Assisted Living to meet w/seniors and thank the hard-working staff. Investments in the #CareEconomy will lift up all Americans & I'm excited to pass the #AmericanJobsPlan & deliver for our families. https://t.co/VRqFIbjyNP
Growing up on the Historic Westside of Las Vegas, I know all too well the struggle that families go through for fresh and affordable food. This effort by @CouncilmanCrear will create a long-term opportunity for families to get sustainable, healthy food. https://t.co/v3JdxwQFrn
Today, my staff and I are proud to wear orange to commemorate National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Stopping gun violence isn't politics to me – it's personal. Alongside allies like @MomsDemand I'm committed to stopping making our communities safer for all. https://t.co/mBJ9fo1ZmN

Questions about the expanded #ChildTaxCredit? This Thursday, learn how the expanded #ChildTaxCredit could provide monthly payments to your family. The community listening and information session is at 4:30pm at Acelero Learning in North Las Vegas. Hope to see you there! https://t.co/UjODiPMv7V
This week, I'm joining my @TheBlackCaucus colleagues to bring attention to the Massacre and demand justice for survivors and their descendants. Together, we honor the memory of Greenwood — and we push for the equity and restorative justice that is long-overdue. (9/9)
The devastation of the Tulsa Race Massacre has been ignored and suppressed by official records, but it has never been forgotten by the Black community. (8/X)
100 years later, the Black community in Tulsa is still struggling from the damage of the Tulsa Race Massacre. In 1920, Black and white residents had nearly identical homeownership rates. Today, white Tulsans are nearly twice as likely to own a home as Black Tulsans. (7/X)
The Tulsa Race Massacre crushed the center of Black wealth in America. Over the next 100 years, the impact of the Massacre could be seen in lower net worth, educational attainment, and home ownership for Black families in Tulsa. (6/X)
In the wake of the Tulsa Race Massacre, at least 9,000 people were left homeless and penniless. A 2001 state commission report detailed that residents claimed $1.8 million in property loss — an equivalent of $27 million in today’s dollars — for the damage done that night. (5/X)
The Tulsa Race Massacre resulted in as many as 300 deaths, and the destruction of thousands of homes and businesses. More than 800 people were admitted to hospitals, and up to 6,000 Black residents were imprisoned, many for several days. Greenwood would never be the same. (4/X)
The night of May 31, a violent white mob descended on the Greenwood District, torching homes and businesses, brutally assaulting and killing anyone in their way, and looting what was left in the wake. (3/X)
Greenwood was a beacon of hope for Black Americans across the country. It was an example of what Black families could achieve, despite the segregation and bigotry of the time. Then in roughly 48 hours, Greenwood was destroyed. (2/X)
100 years ago, the Greenwood District of Tulsa was the wealthiest Black community in America. Known as "Black Wall Street", Greenwood was a bright and vibrant place where Black professionals and their families could flourish and build wealth. (1/X)

Congratulations to these students from #NV04 who are heading to college with scholarships from the Las Vegas Asian Chamber of Commerce!

A return to normalcy is on the horizon as Nevada prepares for 100% capacity on June 1. But to crush this virus, we need to vaccinate as many Nevadans as possible. Keep your community safe by signing up for your vaccine today: https://t.co/HbfWcX26pg
NEWS: I’m thrilled to announce that more than $4.3 million is coming to Nevada to support @AmeriCorps programs across our state, including Nye Communities Coalition’s Partners of Prevention program, which works to reduce substance abuse across Nye County.
Nevada families are determined to build back better from this pandemic, and you deserve a roadmap for a stronger future. I'm working to pass the #AmericanFamiliesPlan to invest in our communities with better health care, education, and child care to help Nevadans get ahead. https://t.co/yCRUziyqWG

I was glad to be able to visit TWO #COVID19 vaccine pop-up sites in #NV04 today to kick off #CBCVaccinationWeek! Many thanks to @pagoynes, Byron Goynes, and the health care workers at MLK Senior Center who are working hard to get Nevadans vaccinated. #DontWaitVaccinate https://t.co/xIs6Fvi2Nj
