George Floyd’s killing has opened more eyes to the racism that still exists in America. To begin to heal, we all need to understand the complexity of our history. My Black History is American History Act incentivizes the learning of Black history in our nation's schools.

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

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

The interim relief package passed by Congress last week set aside PPP funding for community-based lenders, credit unions, and small banks. This is a good start, but we must do more to support minority-owned businesses at this uncertain time.

Black, Hispanic, and women-owned businesses are being hit hard by this crisis and need access to relief. https://t.co/7s40Uz0Q99

Attention Ohio Small Businesses The @SBAgov will resume accepting Paycheck Protection Program applications from participating lenders on today at 10:30am.

Happy #ArborDay! Our National Forests are essential to storing carbon emissions, sustaining our ecosystems and providing us with clean air and water.

BREAKING: The House just passed an interim coronavirus relief bill to increase funding for small businesses, hospitals, and testing. While this will help small businesses keep people on payroll and protect health care workers, far too many people are left out of this package.

Millions of Americans who have lost their jobs or wages are struggling to make rent. No one should be evicted or have their utilities cutoff during this crisis. https://t.co/AG4WyUBUGj

Millions of workers are filing for unemployment. Families are lining up for hours at food banks. However, the President is delaying delivery of stimulus checks so his signature can be printed on each one. This is unconscionable.

Hand-washing is critical to preventing the spread of coronavirus. The pandemic is showing why access to water is a right, not a luxury. I joined with @RepJohnKatjo & 35 of my colleagues in urging leadership to address water affordability in any future #COVID19 relief packages. https://t.co/aO2dBmol4W

#OTD 55 years ago the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was enacted into law, affirming the right of every child to a quality education. Today, schools turning to online learning during the #COVID9 pandemic is a reminder that we still must ensure no student is left behind.

Early data shows Black Americans are significantly more likely to become sick and die from coronavirus. This crisis is creating inequality while exacerbating longstanding injustices in access to health care, housing, healthy food, & economic opportunity. https://t.co/u8WvLhvHjS

The #SCOTUS decision to block Wisconsin from extending absentee voting will disenfranchise voters in the state. We cannot allow coronavirus to fuel voter suppression. Now is the time to fund vote-by-mail and other measures to protect the right to vote in November.
