In 2022, the Constitution still allows slavery as punishment for a crime. I'm leading a constitutional amendment to change that, but this movement is bigger than Congress.

Next month, voters in Alabama, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee and Vermont can end slavery in their states.

The future is bright and the future is Black. Look around y'all, our Georgia future's in good hands - thanks to the Black City Councilmen of Georgia and Councilman Lance Robertson for hosting this weekend's Introductory Black Power mixer and giving us all a reminder.

It couldn't be more clear that student debt relief is literally life-changing for millions of Americans. Eight million borrowers applied for relief in just the first weekend the application was open. This is a big deal y'all!

This week is National School Lunch Week. Since it was created by President Kennedy in 1962, it's been a reminder that EVERY child deserves a healthy meal at school. I co-sponsor the Universal Schools Meal Programs Act to make good on that promise 🍎

Happy birthday Madam Vice President! It's an honor and a joy to work for the people with a true role model, history-maker, and fearless leader. Wishing you all the best on your special day, Vice President Kamala Harris!

We remember Warren Powell, Zeb Long, and the victims of the Atlanta Race Massacre.

Thanks to Equal Justice Initiative, Fulton Remembrance, and our shared community, four historical markers now stand as sobering reminders of the racial terror that tore families apart.
