As people continue to speak out against police brutality and racial injustice, Congress must act to bring about the change we need. Proud to support the #JusticeInPolicingAct to increase transparency and accountability regarding police misconduct and improve police training. QT @TheBlackCaucus: The time for change is NOW.

It has been more than 450 days since the House passed #HR8 to strengthen background checks. This National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I say #EnoughIsEnough. It is time for the Senate to take a vote on this bill.
Today marks one year since the House passed the Dream and Promise Act to #ProtectTheDream for DACA and TPS recipients. Its past time for the Senate to hold a vote on #HR6.
It should always be a crime to choke people to death. #GeorgeFloyd #EricGarner #BlackLivesMatter

How many times do communities find themselves searching for answers? What would make anyone hold their knee on the neck of another human being for more than eight minutes? Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? When will we see “justice for all?”
Food banks play a critical role in helping hungry families. But the truth is, SNAP gives more people access to the food they need. Boosting SNAP will avoid preventable mass hunger. It’s that simple. https://t.co/CWQO7HOQXp

Last week, I introduced legislation to support Farm to Foodbank projects that help to fight hunger and eliminate food waste. Proud to see my bill included in the #HEROESAct.

Nobody should have to decide between their safety and their right to vote. My new bill with @WhipClyburn & @KamalaHarris, the VoteSafe Act, expands vote-by-mail and early voting to ensure voting is safe and accessible.
CDFIs play a critical role in expanding economic opportunity to underserved communities, yet have been largely left out of the small business relief to date. Proud to lead 27 of my colleagues in calling for funding to be set aside for CDFIs in the next #COVID19 response bill. https://t.co/poF0JE7BKQ
College students have been pushed out of their housing, leaving many homeless or forced into unstable living. @BetsyDeVosED should be spending her time ensuring students have the support they need to succeed in school, not rolling back the protections for survivors.
