It is our responsibility here as policymakers to ensure that transformative wins of this bill are fully being carried out

The First Step Act was a major stride forward in criminal justice reform designed to address the systemic issues in our Federal prison system

That was deliberate. I have always been the top target by the Republican Party here in Georgia.

They have taken out of my existing district most of the diverse and Democratic voting blocks and have shuffled in very conservative and Trump and red voting blocks.

District 6 is the district in Georgia that needed to change the least. So, what they actually have done, they have taken a Biden-plus-11 district and they swung it 26 points to Trump.

As Martin Luther King, Jr., has said in the past, and I repeat this--so eloquently he spoke this--we are in 'the fierce urgency of now.'

This Congress has a responsibility to and must pass voting rights legislation.

Voter suppression is just not a racial issue. It is an issue of democracy, and efforts to suppress the will of the people are, in turn, attempts to suppress the promise of democracy that was intended for our nation.

The secretive and the confidential nature of arbitration... allows companies to prioritize protecting their own image instead of seeking justice and really seeking truth.

No one should ever have to experience violence or harassment when they're just simply trying to put food on their family's table or doing the work that they love.

This attack also poses a grave new risk that any of our constitutional rights could become the focus of a strange system of vigilante justice.

We cannot allow the work to be undone.

Generations of women have fought for their place in society.

Can you assure me that you will take action to make sure that we are not missing any opportunities to save American lives?

The risk here is that people in distress can commit violent acts when they have easy access to a firearm.

Extremist protection orders, also known as red flag orders, allow courts to temporarily remove firearms from those who pose imminent danger to themselves or risk of harming others.

I am very pleased that President has committed to preventing gun violence and that he has tasked you with the role of being supportive in gun violence prevention in America.

I am so proud to have voted in support of the American Rescue Plan, which provides States like mine, Georgia, critical funding to help reopen schools safely and help students make up for the lost time in a classroom.

I am really deeply troubled by the abuses that we have heard about today, particularly those that which the bankruptcy process has been used to avoid accountability for allowing sexual abuse to persist and for endangering people's lives.

As Americans, we, the people, give our government a great deal of power to protect our national security.

I've seen too many families in my own home State of Georgia which I represent. They're suffering at the hands of domestic and family violence.

It's now time more than ever I believe to really work on securing the funding for protecting these survivors and their children.

I wish that we didn't have another party that was so detached from the truth, but we have one.

Gun violence prevention laws work.

I don't know when we will finally get to the solutions which are so clear-cut, so easy, and so supported by a broad, a broad swath of American voters and communities all over the country.
