Forcing people to breathe toxic air and drink polluted water isn’t justice—that’s why Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and I introduced the Declaration of Environmental Rights for Incarcerated People. We must protect those behind bars while we fight to end mass incarceration. bostonglobe.com/2024/04/24/met…

I applaud President Biden for taking steps I've long advocated and announcing a new rule to protect travelers from junk fees and ensure automatic refunds for canceled travel. No one should have to beg airlines for their money back and surprise fees shouldn't blow their budgets sky high.

Everyone deserves a safe and healthy environment no matter their race or wealth. I applaud U.S. EPA's new Environmental Justice Clearinghouse, a one-stop shop for resources to assist anyone promoting environmental health in marginalized communities overburdened by pollution.

The CCP we should be talking about isn’t in China. It’s Big Tech's CCP policy: Crushing Children's Privacy. That's why I that's why I'm speaking in defense of free speech & children's privacy and against a TikTok ban. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We worked hard to pass the IRA and secure essential funding to fight the climate crisis right here at home in the Commonwealth. I'm proud that Massachusetts is receiving $156 Million for Solar for All to power the clean energy revolution in the birthplace of the revolution.

After 40 years of prioritizing extractive industries, I am glad that Bureau of Land Management - National has provided much-needed balance to its mission—ensuring that conservation, access to nature, cultural resources protection, wildlife, & climate change mitigation don’t get railroaded by extraction.

Being unhoused is not a crime. The solution to homelessness is safe, stable, affordable housing—not criminal punishment. Congress should pass legislation to provide more housing and resources including my Housing ACCESS Act.

Young Americans know that the climate crisis is the existential threat of our time.

They deserve leaders who believe them.

We’re not going to let them down.

LGBTQ+ students are under attack across the country. The Title IX rule will ensure that they, alongside pregnant students, student-parents, and survivors are protected from discrimination in our schools. I welcome this important step.
