Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay! Latina women earn just 57 cents on the dollar - that’s the largest wage gap of any major ethnic group, and it’s hardly changed for 30 years. La lucha sigue, y mis hermanas tienen una luchadora en este Congreso. ✊

Today is National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Day. It’s time to break the stigma. Access to testing, treatment, and prevention is essential, especially for at-risk communities. PrEP is safe, effective, and a key component in stopping the spread of HIV, regardless of orientation.️ https://t.co/9oeS1jaUey
If you're a young person looking to get involved with public service, we're looking for interns to serve in our New Mexico state office through the end of the year! https://t.co/un4IYxrPFk https://t.co/6rBIfujeC7
We must do more than thank our veterans for their service. The @VANatCemeteries grant of $500,000 to @SFCC will uplift and enshrine the stories of our Hispanic and Indigenous veterans with the reverence they deserve. Their history deserves to be documented.
Tonight we keep our promise to care for those veterans exposed to burn pits while serving our country. The passage of the #PACTAct means we are fulfilling our sacred obligations to deliver veterans the healthcare they need and deserve.
I was honored to join @Rep_Stansbury, @GovMLG, and @williemadrid53 in 2020 to pass this legislation. Our children are the future, and we must continue to fight for their well-being. No student should go hungry at school. QT @ABQJournal: Free school lunches set to kick in this school year, see story at https://t.co/metze0zlF7 https://t.co/0LHMZbqk25)
Last week, we passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, but Congress must do more. In cities across the country, crowds celebrating July 4th fled in fear after mistaking fireworks for gunshots. Americans should not live in constant fear of gun violence. https://t.co/ke8sZh0BVg
My heart breaks for the Highland Park community, where a July 4th celebration quickly turned into a day of loss. Unfortunately, this is no surprise — gun violence is an epidemic in the United States. My thoughts are with those who lost loved ones in this tragedy. #EndGunViolence
A new closure order went into effect this morning to protect public health and safety. Under the new order, the Pecos Canyon corridor remains closed from the Dalton Picnic Site north to Jacks Creek Campground. The Gallinas Canyon corridor is also off-limits.

The Senate passed the Honoring our PACT Act on a vote of 84-14. This legislation honors our obligation to treat veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service. Patriotism is about more than words - our actions matter. https://t.co/YMTEiCplH6

@EPA found that PFAS, or "forever chemicals," are 17,000 times more toxic than previously thought. These chemicals poison our air, water, and soil - removing them will take years. That's why I'm part of the bipartisan Congressional PFAS Task Force. https://t.co/D67a5FxHSP
@POTUS had the opportunity to hear some of the stories I’ve heard for the last two months – stories of sadness, grief, and sorrow from our communities. I am grateful that he listened when we requested a 100% disaster relief cost share for our gente and approved our request.
Today I met with @POTUS and requested his commitment to passing the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Assistance Act and additional resources for protecting the destroyed watershed. The President repeatedly expressed his support for my legislation. (1/4) https://t.co/kdNHA554Ao

On Friday, I hosted a roundtable discussion about innovation and technology with the U.S. Secretary of @Energy @SecGramholm in New Mexico. Let’s create good-paying jobs in New Mexico, increase American competitiveness, and lower costs for Americans.
May 28 is Menstrual Hygiene Day! Women should not be prevented from getting an education, earning an income, or equally participating in everyday life because they menstruate!
Let's end the stigma around menstruation, raise awareness about accessing menstrual products, increase education about menstruation and period-friendly sanitation facilities, and mobilize the funds for large-scale action.
"While we can never replace the beauty and history consumed by these fires, we must fully compensate individuals for their loss of property, income, grazing, and other costs associated with these fires.” (3/3)
"I will continue to work to push my legislation, the Hermit’s Peak Fire Assistance Act, through Congress and ensure that everyone affected by both the Hermit’s Peak and Calf Canyon Fires is fully compensated." (2/3)
Are you gathering around the grill this weekend? Don’t forget your food thermometer! Research shows that people rely on signs like grill marks to see if their food is done, but the safest way is to use a food thermometer. #MemorialDay https://t.co/fJR5cASw2u
Today members of my staff held office hours in Taos and Las Vegas where they listened to concerns from area residents and connected them to available resources through our office's constituent services team. https://t.co/7alKAwYuUw

Thanks to @POTUS and @HourseDemocrats health care is more affordable and accessible than ever before. We will never relent in our fight to bring down the health costs that weigh on America's families!

I voted for #CROWNAct, which would ban discrimination against Black women and girls based on how their hair naturally grows out of their heads. Make no mistake, discrimination against Black hair is a form of racism. And racism is not welcome in our country.
I will cherish the 15 months I was lucky enough to serve with him on the Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples. My dear ranking member, I will miss you so. I know Alaska will grieve even more. (2/2)
The honorable and wonderful Rep. Don Young was direct, blunt, and amazing in his capacity to care so deeply about the people he represented - especially the Native Alaskans; “Let’s just solve this and get it done”. (1/2)

It took decades for #BlueWaterNavy Vietnam veterans to get the benefits they've earned from @DeptVetAffairs. We won't let this happen again. I support @RepMarkTakano's Honoring our PACT Act to ensure toxic-exposed veterans can access the care they need at VA.
