Together w/ Chair @RepMaxineWaters & @repcleaver we are fighting for housing affordability to be addressed in the @POTUS infrastructure package. #HousingIsInfrastructure
There’s no policy that would do more to confront the root causes of the housing affordability crisis than expanding Section 8 vouchers. It represents the implementation of housing as a human right.Story via @NYDailyNews #HousingIsInfrastructure https://t.co/rT8JBpms0n https://t.co/N2VekWsnDE
.@RepDelBene is absolutely right. We must make the #ChildTaxCredit permanent so that families can be lifted out of the poverty & recover from the economic crisis caused by the #COVID19 pandemic. Together w/ @rosadelauro we will continue to fight for a permanent #ChildTaxCredit.

The Keeping Our Promise Act, which ensures diversity visa winners are able to receive their visas, was included as an amendment in the @DHSgov spending bill.

The winner of the 2021 election cycle is the @NYCCouncil! The next 5 Borough Presidents are all members of the Council family. Congratulations to @Vanessalgibson, @CMReynoso34, @MarkLevineNYC, @DRichardsQNS, and @StevenMatteo. I had the honor of serving with them all.
The #INVESTAct also includes funding that will directly impact the South Bronx #NY15: $21.5 million for projects that will improve transit routes. These 3 projects will benefit all #Bronx residents & commuters who travel through our district. https://t.co/Sp2dqPtGEL
The House just passed the #INVESTAct which paves the way for much needed investment in our country’s roads & bridges. It includes my amendment that lays the groundwork for capping the Cross Bronx Expressway w/ parks in order to reduce pollution & truck traffic. https://t.co/V3Z7FDBrdB
Finally, the #INVESTAct includes my amendment to require a review of how electric vehicle charging stations improve health outcomes. The #INVESTAct is truly a transformational funding bill for our nation’s infrastructure. https://t.co/yM5205N6AS

Happy #Juneteenth. It took 156 years to emancipation the long overdue recognition it deserves. Let’s take this day to recommit ourselves to the continued fight for freedom, equality, and racial justice in our country and around the world. https://t.co/aR6XEyMBxp
156 years ago on June 19th, the announcement of the end of slavery reached Galveston, TX. Today, we celebrate it by making #Juneteenth a federal holiday. Proud to have joined @SpeakerPelosi @TheBlackCaucus & @HouseDemocrats In the official enrollment ceremony. QT @washingtonpost: Analysis: Embracing Juneteenth is entirely consistent with the pushback against critical race theory in schools https://t.co/vKKGQdreIe)
The Republicans in the House voted down my legislation, HR 1443, which would protect LGBTQ-owned businesses from credit discrimination. A slap in the face to the LGBTQ community right in the heart of Pride Month.
.@FSCDems today passed my legislation out of the Financial Services Committee that will help #LGBTQ businesses w/ equal access to credit & capital. These businesses contribute more than $1.7 trillion to our economy & should be protected from discrimination. https://t.co/NxDHasefXr

Together w/ @SenBooker & @TheBlackCaucus colleagues we are urging @POTUS to make the expanded Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit, & Child & Dependent Care Tax Credit permanent in the #AmericanFamiliesPlan Plan. We must take bold actions to cut poverty across the country. https://t.co/c69D1UW170
