When I talk to my local SBDCs, they tell me that translations are important but not as important as gaining the trust and confidence of the communities that are hard to reach.

When I came to Congress, I worked hard to bring two SBDCs to my district in the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California.

I am especially glad to see that in-language services is prioritized in the Community Navigator program.

People really need to know about the Community Navigator Program but we know that SBDCs, they were not allowed to advertise their services.

I am particularly interested in the way the Tax Code discourages business owners from agreeing to ESOP conversions, and most importantly, how we can fix this.

I think that it is very important for us to understand the intersection of racial justice policies, and gender justice policies, and reproductive justice policies.

We must also pass Congresswoman Barbara Lee's EACH Act, which would put an end to the harmful funding restrictions of the Hyde Amendment.

It is simply nobody's business what choices we as pregnant people make about our own bodies.

It is beyond hypocritical for my Republican colleagues, who profess to carry a philosophy of limited government, to support laws that insert the government into the most private of women's healthcare decisions.

This is a coordinated nationwide strategy to eliminate abortion access and provide an opportunity to overturn or undermine Roe.

Access to abortion is a freedom that is essential for Americans' ability to control their own bodies and to decide their own futures.

Everyone deserves equal access to comprehensive and safe reproductive healthcare, no matter where they live, free from political interference.

The Texas law is egregious and downright chilling. It deputizes vigilantes to harass anyone helping someone obtain an abortion.

I call on the Senate to meet the moment and immediately pass this critical bill.

We must enact democracy reforms that will protect voting rights for all so that the government more accurately reflects the American people.

I rise in strong opposition to this amendment.

I would like to thank Chairwoman Velazquez for her hard work on today's legislation to fulfill our Committee's instructions to build back better for America's small businesses.

I rise in strong opposition to this amendment. The Small Business Administration is skilled at administering resources and grant programs to our nation's small businesses, but they are not tax policy experts.

This need makes it clear why the Democratic majority and President Biden are acting boldly to pass this Build Back Better bill.

I rise in strong opposition to this amendment. Not only is this amendment bad policy, but it would undermine the very mission of the Small Business Administration.

I do believe that it`s possible.

We also know that there are two Republicans that are pro-choice.

I have been pursuing this in a single-minded way for years now.

I`m so grateful to Speaker Pelosi, and I`m grateful that president Biden is indeed supporting the right for a statutory kind of improvement to the Roe v. Wade debate.

I pushed hard to correct, and even most recently, sent a letter to the Biden administration asking them to look into racial disparities in PPP.
