The Indiana Senate really said "nah, we're good" when Trump tried to pressure them into a redistricting power grab. These senators remembered who they actually work for and chose democracy over party pressure.Sometimes doing the right thing means standing up to your own party.

Our Executive Director at the CBCPAC Annual Holiday Party, connecting with leaders who share our commitment to protecting and advancing the rights of Black Americans. We're STILL committed to building power and creating change. ✊🏾

Veterans, you’ve written America’s story with your courage and dedication. Your service isn’t just history, it’s the heartbeat of our democracy. We honor you today.

Democrat Abigail Spanberger flips Virginia governorship, making history as the state’s first woman governor​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​!

Republicans are trying to slash food stamps for millions of hungry kids while giving tax breaks to billionaires. Entire generation suffers from GOP greed over programs that fight hunger.

Millions face lost paychecks, healthcare, SNAP benefits and essential services. Senate Republicans act like it's business as usual. House Republicans? Week 6 of unscheduled vacation. This is leadership?

Republicans, WYA? It’s giving scared. It’s giving lack of governance. Imagine being in charge of the House and Senate…and running scared. 🤔 See y’all in the booth. 🗳️

From every challenge, we emerge stronger and more determined. The legacy we’re building is one of perseverance, excellence, and unapologetic advocacy for our future.

People who rely on the same tired stereotypes about Black individuals do so because they lack the intelligence to recognize Black humanity. Their inability to see beyond harmful tropes reflects their own intellectual limitations and failure to understand basic human dignity.

We MUST continue to strengthen our communities from within. Voting is our way to unite and demand better for our people and our tomorrow. Today is about that power. GET REGISTERED TO VOTE! Already registered? CHECK IT AGAIN! #NationalVoterRegistrationDay

Regardless of the chaos in Congress and the White House, we MUST organize and build power where we live. Our ballots are tools to stand together for our families and secure the future we’re working toward. Today is about that power. GET REGISTERED TO VOTE! Already registered? CHECK IT AGAIN!

62 years ago: Four angels lost to hate at 16th Street Baptist Church - Denise McNair (11), Cynthia Wesley (14), Addie Mae Collins (14), Carole Robertson (14). Survivor Sarah Collins Rudolph, Addie Mae's sister, lost her eye but found her voice. Their light ignited change. Say their names.

Today we remember September 11, 2001, and honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost. We reflect on the courage of first responders and the resilience that emerged from tragedy. Never forget.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

They’re still trying to shut us up. They’re still making sure the hunter’s story is the only one people hear. We have the power to fight back and not only protect our communities but preserve THE TRUTH. AND WE WILL.

Labor Day reminds us that progress is built by the hands and minds of hardworking people. Here’s to everyone who shows up, works hard, and makes a difference every single day.

Please do not fall for Trump’s gimmicks, theater or intimidation.

20 years since Katrina devastated the Gulf and our communities are still recovering. Same systemic failures keep neglecting us when disasters hit. We deserve real protection and support, not empty promises. Honoring those we lost and our unbreakable resilience.

Today we honor Emmett Till, 14, whose life was stolen in 1955. His mother’s courage showing the world what hate had done ignited the Civil Rights Movement. His legacy lives in every protest, vote, every time we refuse “that’s just how it is.” Rest in power. #EmmettTill​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The March on Washington was the beginning of a blueprint we still use today. From the Lincoln Memorial to your voting booth, the power to create change is in our hands. Democracy isn't a spectator sport. It requires us to show up, speak out, and vote in every election.

Our hearts are with the victims of today’s horrific tragedy in Minnesota. We stand with the community and call for an end to gun violence. We must do more to protect innocent lives. #PrayForMinneapolis #GunReformNow

Parents shouldn’t have to choose between keeping the lights on and getting their kids what they need for school. Trump’s tariffs are making back-to-school shopping even more expensive for our families. We deserve leaders who actually lower costs, not politicians who make our lives harder.

The Supreme Court has made it easier for politicians to manipulate districts in their favor by ruling that partisan gerrymandering is legal. But here’s the truth: we should be choosing our representatives, not having politicians draw lines to choose us as their voters.

"Packing" and "cracking"—that's how Republicans describe their strategy to split up Black communities and stuff them into as few districts as possible. It's textbook racial gerrymandering.

25 safe Republican seats vs. 13 Democratic seats (all but one majority-minority). This isn't coincidence—it's deliberate racial manipulation of district lines to preserve white political power. #SystemicRacism

Texas Democrats are ready to fight back with every legal tool available. Black communities will not be erased from the political process. Our votes matter, our voices count. #ProtectBlackVoters

Texas Democrats earn 90%+ of the Black vote, but gerrymandering ensures only 13 Democratic seats out of 38 total. Republicans are systematically diluting Black political power through illegal redistricting. ILLEGAL REDISTRICTING.

For 90 years, Social Security has been a promise kept to working families. Black Americans, who face greater wealth gaps, rely on these benefits more than any other group. We cannot let extremists dismantle this vital safety net. The fight continues! #SocialSecurity90

Texas Republicans have launched a cynical, targeted, mid-decade, rigged-districting scheme designed to Erase Black and Brown voters. This proposed map is an outrageous attack on the voting rights of millions of Texans of color - and it’s FLAT-OUT ILLEGAL.

THE DISTRACTION PLAYBOOK: Trump wants to federalize police in NYC, Baltimore, and Oakland next while these cities are seeing historic crime reductions. Classic authoritarian move: manufacture a crisis, then "solve" it with unprecedented federal overreach.

In a government by, of and for the people, your vote is your power. Modern tactics to deceive and intimidate voters threaten the progress made to end voter suppression in our country. Read about my bill to fight these practices in @virginiamercury.com.

60 years after the Voting Rights Act, voter suppression is still targeting our communities. That’s why I introduced the SWIFT VOTE Act and the POLL Act. These bills cut the lines, expose the delays, and give folks real power to fight back when states play games with our right to vote.

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law through courage and sacrifice. Today, we face new threats. Texas Republicans are redrawing maps to erase 5 Democratic seats before votes are cast. Our ancestors marched so we could vote. Now it’s our turn to protect that right. Every vote matters.

The Voting Rights Act is again under threat. Recent events like the attempted voter suppression in Texas highlights the importance of safeguarding the Voting Rights Act. To continue to put hurdles in the way of people fighting to keep voting strong and fair is maddening. We must protect democracy!

We must demand accountability from those who stripped social services and made necessities unaffordable. Our generation has unprecedented power. We just have to USE it. We have the numbers and moral authority to create change. ✊🏾

Cultivating Power: Official Essence Fest 2025 Recap Our “Cultivating Power” offsite activations and panels at Essence Festival 2025 brought together visionaries, advocates, and change-makers for transformative conversations about Black political power and community mobilization.

"Texas politicians are coming for our voting rights. MLK said justice requires action. That’s on US. Hit up your reps’ phones and emails. Get your crew registered. Vote in everything…local, state, federal. These officials think we won’t show up. Let’s prove them dead wrong. ✊🏾"

Making 2017 tax cuts permanent mainly helps wealthy Americans. Middle-class families will see smaller benefits. The dwindling middle class needs to be protected, not those hoarding wealth.

SNAP work requirements are expanding to ages 55-64 right around midterm elections in 2026. Older Americans will need jobs to keep food assistance. This is no way to treat our elders.

Medicaid pays for 60% of nursing home care. Cuts mean families will be paying more for elderly relatives' care, and women are most likely to leave work to be caretakers. They know exactly who they’re hurting.

The most vulnerable among us–Medicaid recipients, food stamp users, immigrants, rural hospitals, nursing home families–will be left even more vulnerable riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight after midterms. If it feels like it’s on purpose, IT IS.

The 2026 midterm elections will be a referendum on this bill as Americans start feeling the healthcare cuts for the first time. Republicans are betting voters will forget about the Medicaid cuts by 2026. Will they be right?

Proud to support @rollingseaaf.bsky.social and @cbcpac.bsky.social in the fight to elect Black women. The moment we're in demands that resilient, committed, and principled leaders are at the helm to steer us through choppy waters. When #BlackWomenLead, we ALL win.

Republicans stay screaming about law & order…But won’t release the Epstein files. They sit up here posting conspiracy theories all day…But won’t release the Epstein files. They’re quick to call a hearing or launch an investigation on some BS…But (say it with me) won’t release the Epstein files.

They rushed through tax cuts for the rich while gutting programs that help families put food on the table. This isn't fiscal responsibility—it's wealth redistribution upward. #RobinHoodInReverse

This bill represents the biggest reshaping of America's social safety net in decades. The impacts will last for years. Your 2026 and 2028 votes will determine if these changes stay or get reversed. Make them count.

Medicaid pays for 40% of ALL American births. This bill literally takes healthcare from new mothers and babies to fund tax cuts. Is this really the "pro-family" agenda you promised? #ProtectFamilies

Trump's new law: EV tax credits gone immediately, but corporate tax breaks permanent. Food stamps cut, but defense contractors get billions. Guess who really matters to this administration? #Priorities

Breaking: Billionaires celebrate as Trump signs bill cutting their taxes forever while millions lose healthcare and food assistance. The American people got robbed on Independence Day.

Tariffs already make groceries unaffordable—now this administration wants to cut food assistance too? Stop doubling down on policies that hurt working families.

4 million Americans with disabilities depend on SNAP for basic nutrition. This bill abandons our most vulnerable citizens. Is that the America you want? #DisabilityRights
