Today, I am joining @higherheights and a dynamic panel of women to discuss the status of Black women in American politics. Make sure to tune in to watch the live steam at 11:15 am ET: https://t.co/GPGv4YOi0F.
For months, Minority-Serving Institutions have been forced to discuss where to make cuts in their budgets due to the stalling of the #FUTUREAct. Congress needs to work together to reach an agreement #ForTheFUTURE https://t.co/MCQAGPhetj
While traveling the country with @HouseAdmDems to examine the state of voting rights, I saw first-hand how voters are being denied access to the ballot box through: ❌voter ID laws ❌poll closures ❌early voting cut backs ❌voter purges It’s time to #RestoreTheVote #ForThePeople
Today is #WorldSoilDay! In urban and rural areas alike, healthy soils help to clean water, recycle nutrients, store carbon, and produce the food we eat.

HBCUs and other MSIs play a critical role in unlocking higher education opportunities for millions of students of color and low-income degree-seekers. I was proud to have @RepAdams read my remarks in support of these historic institutions on the House floor last night. https://t.co/fk8QhHv5Hp

I’m proud to announce the Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority was awarded a grant by @HUDgov today for a housing voucher program for people with disabilities. The grant funding will help 80 individuals and their families in the Akron area find affordable, accessible housing. https://t.co/UjpUwIKoyk

Native American women face violence at 10x the national rate. It’s been over 200 days since the House reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act with key provisions protecting Native Am. Women. On #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, it is time for @senatemajldr to put #VAWA to a vote.
At the hearing, the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights claimed employees file discrimination complaints to punish their managers. These comments could discourage employees from reporting future instances of discrimination and harassment. For my statement https://t.co/IXIzRiAJd4
The @OHdeptofhealth reports, on average, around 5 people commit suicide every day in Ohio. To address this urgent public health issue, we must #EndTheStigma and increase access to mental health services for people in crisis. https://t.co/F8B6iZWv25
Today, I hosted a briefing with Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT on the importance of diversity in our nation’s schools. It is past time to increase opportunity and eliminate racial isolation in schools around the country. https://t.co/4h40wqY00w
With 94% of apprentices retaining employment after completion and earning an average salary of $70,000, Registered Apprenticeships provide Americans with a clear pathway to the middle class. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek https://t.co/izm0KyucE7
Today we thank Dartanian Warr and all Air Force veterans from OH-11 and across the country for their service and sacrifice. https://t.co/s3vLSi9ZU9
SNAP is an effective anti-hunger, poverty-relieving program. As I said in an October oversight hearing, it is unconscionable that the Administration is continuing to push these three proposals to kick roughly 4 million people off of life-saving food assistance. #HandsOffSNAP https://t.co/cTcH3BkBZS
In 2018, the Administration pushed for inclusion of provisions to cut SNAP benefits in the Farm Bill. The House and Senate ultimately came up with a bipartisan compromise bill that rejected the proposed devastating cuts to the food assistance program. https://t.co/8O8tQHn132
Today, my staff hosted a bipartisan, bicameral roundtable discussion with representatives of the military service academies to determine how to increase the diversity of service academy applications in OH-11 and across the state of Ohio. https://t.co/o1Bk8k5qWM
As we head to the polls today, let us remember @HouseDemocrats passed the #ForThePeople Act to enact automatic voter registration and make Election Day a holiday. @Senatemajldr has refused to hold a vote on this bill in the Senate since March. #McConnellGraveyard #ElectionDay
RT @TheBlackCaucus: Today, we lay Congressman John Conyers Jr. to rest. Watch it live on our Facebook page: https://t.co/axKQPXsRez #RIPJohnConyersJr
Read my op-ed on the Administration's proposal to restrict SNAP eligibility, which would cut critical food assistance for 3.1 million Americans and cause nearly 1 million children to lose automatic access to free school meals. https://t.co/8RZN6QoSsF
Seniors and families across America continue to struggle with the high cost of the prescription drugs they need to stay healthy. No American should live in fear of the cost for their health care. It’s time to #LowerDrugCosts #ForThePeople. https://t.co/i833QRs9PD
The @uscensusbureau is kicking off their 2020 recruitment campaign today. They are hiring thousands of census takers, recruiting assistants, office and supervisory staff. Visit https://t.co/4GFi2Pcwgc for more information. https://t.co/hKy9AMnTjn
In addition to holding the President accountable, @HouseDemocrats are continuing to fight #ForThePeople by: ✅Lowering prescription drug prices ✅Addressing gun violence ✅Raising the minimum wage ✅Protecting food assistance programs ✅Lowering the cost of college

Today, I am chairing a House Administration Elections Subcommittee hearing to continue gathering evidence of attempts to block access to the ballot box in America. Tune in via livestream at: https://t.co/fSiHLK28qE
Nearly 1 million students would lose access to school meals under the Administration’s cuts to SNAP – twice the number originally indicated by @USDA. We must stop the Administration’s unconscionable attacks on hungry children. #HandsOffSNAP QT @EdLaborCmte: NEWS: The Trump Administration finally released its internal analysis showing how many kids would lose access to fr… https://t.co/cG66xZYCKs)
In its most recent voter purge, the SoS removed more than 182,000 voters from Ohio’s voter rolls. Visit https://t.co/y5I3aLdDD2 TODAY to check your and your family’s voter registration status. If you or someone you know was removed, register to vote by the October 7 deadline.
This report is a clear example of the success of federal safety net programs, with SNAP keeping three million people out of poverty in 2018. We must resist the Administration’s attempts to gut programs that support families and eliminate poverty. https://t.co/RV7I1hs0Ui
#DACA has helped over 800K legally work, go to college, and build successful lives here in the US. As I fight to #ProtectTheDream in Congress, I encourage DACA recipients in my community and across the US keep their status up to date. Renew yours today: https://t.co/JmH5VW2PEZ
@USDA hasn’t adequately explained why it is moving ERS & NIFA to Kansas City, and now is reneging on its commitments to employees who do not relocate. This decision unfairly penalizes staff and further undermines the important research these agencies conduct. QT @thehill: JUST IN: USDA cuts payments promised to researchers as agency uproots to Kansas City https://t.co/l1yAcjj6gN https://t.co/nWNFHw1all)

Thank you to residents of OH-11 and NE Ohio, our elected officials, MOCs and Members of the Ohio Delegation for attending today’s hearing. These field hearings are the first step toward ensuring every American receives the unfettered & unabridged right to vote. #GiveUstheBallot https://t.co/uMta3JY9Zj
In OH-11, we are fortunate to have multiple libraries that meet the needs of our residents, local workforce, and area businesses. Take time during #NLW2019 to visit your local library and learn about the resources they provide. Libraries = Strong Communities. https://t.co/hl6z4ejcu9
Sending my condolences to the family and friends of former U.S. Senator Birch Bayh. A forward thinking public servant, Senator Bayh was a staunch advocate for equal rights for women as evidenced by Title IX. His legacy has left a lasting impact on our country. He will be missed.

It is past time to break down barriers to gender and economic equality with an inclusive national #paidleave plan. It’s time to make workplaces more equal for everyone. #FAMILYAct https://t.co/4DlQ8TqnQS
...There is not a direct financial cost for Texas' "free" Election ID Certification, but voters must travel long distances, miss work, and pay for out-of-state birth certificates in order to obtain the EIC card.
Moments ago, @RepAlGreen and witnesses Matthew McCarthy, ACLU of Texas Legal Consultant and Chad Dunn, Esq. enlighten the panel on how "the system fails us" with the existence of modern day poll taxes...
@RonaldGuillory9 Watch the Listening Session to hear witness testimony detailing how Americans, disproportionately people of color, are turned away with proper ID, given miss information by poll workers, and have their polling places changed without notice.
Reopening the means our federal workers can pay their bills, feed their families and know their work and worth are appreciated as they deliver much needed services. Let’s keep it that way.
This is not just about the right of immigrants to cross our borders or comprehensive immigration reform. This is about America’s humanity and our history of compassion for others. https://t.co/ote14vNMGY
@cmclymer @sethmoulton @TimRyan I would put my record of support for the LGBTQ community against anyone else’s and challenge anyone to refute it. What I opposed was including the Equality Act in the current Civil Rights Act. To read my full statement, click the link. https://t.co/iDG8SFy4HJ
