Thanks to @POTUS’s #AmericanRescuePlan passed by @housedemocrats, tens of thousands of @1199SEIU health care workers in NYS will receive nearly $100 million in bonuses. Our healthcare heroes kept our city afloat during the peak of COVID. This investment is crucial & long overdue. https://t.co/a44FiZ244M
57 years ago today, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. Voting rights protect all other rights; however, racial discrimination in voting is still prevalent. I will continue to fight to #RestoreTheVRA so that the promise of democracy is made real for all. #VRA57
