The Black Economic Council of Massachusetts received a $1 million federal investment in 2023 to expand its support of local minority-owned businesses. bizjournals.com/boston/news/20…

Absolutely horrific and unacceptable.

We cannot look away while atrocities like these are committed.

There must be a thorough, transparent, and independent investigation, and swift accountability.

I am devastated to learn of the transition of my colleague Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr..

He was an effective and compassionate leader who fought relentlessly to improve the lives of folks in the NJ-10.

Holding space for his family, loved ones, staff, and constituents

Thank you Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley for your leadership in the fight to abolish the death penalty across the country!

We're still reflecting on the profound impact of @edtrust's Boot Camp. One standout moment was the unforgettable #CantBeErased event featuring Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley! Thank you immensely for your time, for sharing your powerful journey, and for your unwavering advocacy. #BooksSaveLives

Yesterday, we celebrated Black Economic Council of Massachusetts receiving $1 Million in Federal Community Project Funding to support their BOSS program. It was a pleasure to work with my former boss, Elizabeth Warren , and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley ‘s office to secure this funding.

Now, a diverse coalition of women have come together to wage an intersectional fight for gender equality, taking inspiration from their feminist foremothers. (3/4)

Survivors of sexual violence deserve healing & justice — not shame & blame.

This #DenimDay , I want my survivor tribe to know that you are seen, you are not alone, and I am proud to stand in solidarity with you.

After today's arguments, we confirm three crucial facts:

- EMTALA is law.
- EMTALA protects patients’ rights – in every state – pregnant or not.
- EMTALA includes all stabilizing care, including emergency abortion care, full stop.

Read our full statement:

Today, we mourn the loss of our colleague and friend, Rep. Donald M. Payne, Jr.

Rep. Payne will be remembered by all those who knew him for his kindness and generosity. He leaves behind a legacy that New Jerseyans and our country will not soon forget.

Our bodily autonomy should NEVER be up for debate.

But today #SCOTUS heard a case that threatens folks' right to emergency abortion care when their lives are at risk.

Unconscionable. Abortion care is a human right and we'll never stop fighting to affirm it as such.

.Black Economic Council of Massachusetts's work to address the Black wealth gap is powerfully important. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and I joined BECMA to celebrate $1 million in federal funds we helped secure alongside Ed Markey to support their mission of supporting Black-owned businesses across the Commonwealth.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley thank you so much for sharing your time, your personal story & your advocacy with The Education Trust. It was an honor to have you in our program & we are even more thankful for your Books Save Lives Act, continued efforts to stop book bans & the penalizing of librarians

Shana Bryant Consulting Thank you to Elizabeth Warren and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley for their leadership and continued advocacy for BECMA. Thank you also to State Senator Liz Miranda and everyone who joined us yesterday to celebrate the impact of this funding and recommit to building Black wealth in Massachusetts.

1/5 Yesterday we welcomed SenWarren and RepPressley to the BECMA offices in Nubian Square to celebrate the $1 million in federal funding they secured for our Back Office Support Services (BOSS) program,

The Trump Administration shamefully made our campuses more dangerous & exacerbated the trauma of survivors.

I'm glad Secretary Miguel Cardona heeded our calls to rewrite #TitleIX and strengthen survivors' rights, including for our LGBTQ+ students.

Sending love & peace to our Jewish neighbors gathering with their families in the #MA7 & beyond to celebrate #Passover .

Chag Sameach!

Black families have been systematically denied the opportunity to build wealth.

That's why intentional investments can help close the racial wealth gap.

Proud to have secured $1M with Elizabeth Warren for Black Economic Council of Massachusetts to support  Black-owned businesses & entrepreneurs in the #MA7 .
