Graduates of HBCUs or HSIs shouldn’t be charged more simply because of the school they attended, but that is what some lenders are reportedly doing. Proud to introduce a new bill with @RepJoyceBeatty to examine educational redlining in lending. https://t.co/UwBXbcWdzP

For 85 years, Social Security has provided millions of seniors with retirement security. Without it, 2 in 5 older Americans would be living in poverty. I remain committed to strengthening Social Security to ensure everyone can have a dignified, safe retirement. #SocSec85 https://t.co/m5mCIUHv4X

The Administration’s decision to cut #2020Census counting short by a month could lead to a historic undercount of the population. Today, I led a letter with @RepRichmond & 100+ of my House colleagues calling on the Census Bureau to ensure an accurate and complete count. https://t.co/As9JO55ZjI

These executive orders also do nothing to address the need for increased funding for states, schools, small businesses, SNAP, testing and elections. Working with Congress to pass the Heroes Act is the best way to support all Americans impacted by the pandemic. 3/

Nearly half a century after Roe v. Wade, states across the country continue to pass laws designed to restrict abortion access. We need to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to ensure every women has access to comprehensive reproductive health care. #ActForWomen
