“Our nation continues to be in the midst of a public health and economic crisis, with countless families in Massachusetts and all across the country at risk of eviction,” “With the pandemic worsening daily, we have a moral and collective responsibility to use every tool available to provide relief and support to our communities. While I was encouraged to see President-Elect Biden call for Congress to extend the eviction moratorium as part of his rescue plan, he must also take executive action to extend and strengthen the eviction moratorium for the duration of the pandemic. Doing so would help prevent a nationwide eviction tsunami that would disproportionately harm our most vulnerable neighbors. We must act with the urgency this crisis demands”

"And we don’t”. A vivid reminder of the stakes came in early 2017, when Vice President Mike Pence tweeted an image showing politicians around a conference table negotiating health care changes, including a repeal of mandatory maternity care. Every politician at the table was a white man. Representation matters, Democratic women candidates argued the next year, and voters took heed. The 2018 midterms ushered in the most diverse Congress in history and boosted women’s representation to 23.7 percent. Four years after Trump’s election, women hold 127 seats in Congress, up from 105. Massachusetts now has four women in its 11-member congressional delegation, including newcomers Lori Trahan and Pressley. Ayanna Pressley spoke as, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (D-MN)(L), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) (2R), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) held a press conference, to address remarks made by President Trump on July 15, 2019 at the Capitol. BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images. This election cycle, a record 298 female US House candidates made it to the ballot, including a record 115 women of color, according to CAWP. The number of Black women running for the House rose from 27 in 2016 to 61 in 2020, a record high, according to CAWP. The flip side is backlash. Despite their growing numbers, women in politics continue to be targets of derision and harassment. Pressley, one of the four celebrated women of color in their first term in Congress who called themselves “The Squad,” faced verbal attacks from the president and online vitriol. “Unfortunately it’s been part of our experience as women, and that didn’t stop because we have a comma and a title after our name,"

"It has only intensified and become more unrelenting”. She remains focused on why she’s at the table — to amplify the perspective of constituents whose voices have been marginalized in the past. “This isn’t a sorority. This is not a slumber party," “This matters because we’re building power”

“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, public transit has been a lifeline for communities across the nation, providing transportation to the essential workers who are fighting to keep us safe and healthy. The pandemic has only highlighted what many of us have known for years, public transit is a public good, and its continued disinvestment risks its collapse. I am proud to join Representatives Garcia and Pressley in introducing this legislation to help ensure our public transit systems have the necessary funding to keep running,”
