Rep. Lucy McBath

Equal Pay Day is a reminder of how far we have to go and why we won’t stop fighting. That’s why I join my @DemWomenCaucus colleagues in championing the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure all women are paid fairly for all the work they do.

March 26 is Equal Pay Day, the point in 2026 when women finally catch up to what men earned in 2025. For the second straight year, the pay gap has widened. Women working full-time earn just 81 cents for every dollar men earn and even less for many women of color.

In the 2026 Winter Olympics, @eamslider24 captured gold and cemented her status as a Team USA legend. I was honored to help welcome her home to Douglasville today in celebration of her accomplishments on and off the track. Our community is so proud of you, Elana!

I am proud to lead my colleagues in launching the Congressional Combating Human Trafficking Caucus, a bipartisan effort to strengthen Congress’s commitment to preventing human trafficking, protecting victims, and holding traffickers accountable. Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights that demands sustained action at every level of government. mcbath.house.gov/press-releases…

I joined my CAPAC colleagues in introducing a resolution honoring the memories of those we lost and recommitting this Congress to our responsibility to champion solutions that will prevent violence and save lives. mcbath.house.gov/press-releases…

Five years after the Atlanta spa shootings, our city still carries the grief of the eight lives stolen in an act of anti-Asian hate. That tragedy shook our community and left lasting pain for the loved ones and neighbors who continue to mourn.

This Women’s History Month, I'm celebrating the exemplary leadership and strength of women everywhere. I am constantly reminded of the power we all hold. How are you celebrating this month?

From the @AJC: McBath presses Noem on treatment of Georgia amputee in ICE detention ajc.com/video/news/202…

While claiming to go after "the worst of the worst," Secretary Noem is detaining Rodney Taylor, a Georgia barber who arrived legally in the U.S. at two years old on a medical visa to address his disabilities. He is now facing abhorrent conditions in ICE custody. @RepLucyMcBath called out Noem for her ignorance about the horrifying conditions in her detention centers. She is joined today by Rodney’s wife and daughters.

The House took an important step forward in the fight against human trafficking by passing my bipartisan bill. Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights that demands accountability at every level of government. Victims must be protected and perpetrators brought to justice. mcbath.house.gov/press-releases…

As the world witnesses events unfolding in Iran, my heart is with the men and women who swore an oath to serve our country. The power to declare war rests with Congress. The President must be held to account and explain why his Administration took the actions it did.

As #BlackHistoryMonth comes to a close, we reflect on the trailblazing Americans who continue to break barriers and lead with purpose. Their service and courage inspire future generations and remind us that progress is built through commitment and action.

This Black History Month, we celebrate Pastor Cook and 149 years of Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Smyrna. We honor a legacy of faith and community and we remain committed to uplifting the rich Black history rooted here.

Republican policies have caused health care costs to SKYROCKET. And Republicans refuse to do anything to bring costs down.

Everyday, I’m honored to represent Georgians and a state shaped by trailblazers. I’m grateful to have worked alongside my dear friend Congressman John Lewis. His legacy reminds us to get into good trouble in the fight for justice.

Judge Caldwell was the first woman and the first Black woman to serve in this role beginning in 1984 until her retirement this January. Over her 41 years of service, Judge Caldwell was known as an advocate for fairness and equality. Thank you for your service to our community!

As I continue my series amplifying local Black History in Georgia’s Sixth District, I’m honored to uplift Judge Barbara Caldwell, former Douglas County Magistrate Judge.

Today we mourn the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson, a servant leader whose movement and voice called our nation to its highest ideals. He taught an unwavering belief in the dignity of every child of God. I’m grateful to have known him and am thinking of the Jackson family.

Congratulations Elana!

Jordan’s legacy is my compass, and I will never stop fighting until every community is made safe and every voice is heard. Happy Birthday, Jordan! I carry you in my heart and in this fight.

Today should be my Jordan’s 31st birthday. A day we would have spent together. His birthday reminds us of the future he should have had and the urgent work still before us. Every day, too many families across America experience the same unimaginable loss. Jordan's memory fuels my purpose.
