If this took place just one year ago - even 9 months ago - under the Trump administration there would be massive protests, lawsuits, calls for accountability etc. How quickly we became complacent. #haitianimmigrants #blackimmigrants #blacklivesmatter usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Let us all learn from @Simone_Biles.
“Work martyrdom happens when there is immense pressure ―either internal or external ―to keep pushing past physical and mental limits for the sake of your organization because of the belief that you alone can do it.

BREAKING: We did it y’all! For the first time in decades, the House Appropriations Committee has passed a budget without the Hyde Amendment. For BIPOC working to make ends meet, this is history in the making. #BeBoldEndHyde

Tonight we took a big step forward in making major investments in critical infrastructure for the American people — from climate to childcare and immigration. Proud to work with @SenSchumer, @SenSanders & the rest of my colleagues on the Budget committee.

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. Thank you @RepGraceMeng for your leadership pushing this amendment & @RepJudyChu for your partnership on this bill.

The Muslim Ban may be gone, but plenty of families who qualified for visas are still separated by it, through no fault of their own. But not for long! Thanks to @RepGraceMeng, the #KeepingOurPromisesAct @RepRitchie & I introduced to honor these visas was added to FY22 DHS approps

Thank you @Grace4NY for your leadership on restoring diversity visas for people who were robbed of their dream due to Trump's discriminatory bans.
Grace Meng@Grace4NY
Just passed my amendment in committee to allow thousands of expired visas to be made available to those who were denied or refused admission bc of previous Muslim ban. It’s time for US to uphold promise we made and right the wrongs created by discriminatory ban.
