@RepMayes @RepGinaCurry @RepCephas Conservatives are also attacking funding for Black Women owned businesses. This threatens the work our members and subcommittee on Black Businesses have done in PA to strengthen initiaves for historically disadvantaged businesses. bet.com/article/qzg2vm…

Conservatives are attacking Black Maternal Health Programs. Ths is why the work of our subcommittee on Women and Girls of Color and the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus led by @RepMayes @RepGinaCurry and @RepCephas is so important. blackenterprise.com/conservative-o…
