As policymakers, it is up to us to plant seeds that will inspire future generations to understand and imagine what is possible.
While my time in the Senate is over, my work to plant those seeds will continue on.

I met with my Youth Advisory Council for the final time last night to remind them that during some of the darkest periods of our own history, it has consistently been young people who brought out the light.
I will continue to believe and trust in the young people of America.

Thank you, @SenTinaSmith!

The Senate is filled with former Members of Congress, Governors, Lt. Governors… all fine and honorable professions. But there aren’t many who came here as organizers like @SenLaphonza did. Laphonza, it’s been an honor to serve with you. I'm excited to see what you do next.

We’re proud to support the NIH IMPROVE Act. Thank you @Senlaphonza and @SenKatieBritt for your leadership and to @apw_mdmph and @TCFdotorg for amplifying and raising awareness about this critical bill.

The U.S. has the highest rate of maternal mortality among high-income nations. This isn’t acceptable, which is why @SenKatieBritt and I introduced the bipartisan NIH IMPROVE Act, which will continue to fund research on the maternal care and mortality crisis. Thank you to the @MarchofDimes and @TCFdotorg for endorsing this bill and for all the work they do on behalf of American mothers.

Thrilled the Senate passed my legislation with @SenLaphonza to honor Shirley Chisholm with a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal & permanent statue on Capitol Hill.
Shirley Chisholm was an icon and a trailblazer, and I’m proud we’re taking steps to honor her.

Today marks the anniversary of the start of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a watershed moment in the fight for justice.
In our quest for justice for all, let us not forget the extraordinary power when ordinary people come together.
