CDFIs are also helping communities protect themselves against climate disasters.

Thanks in part to the aid passed by Congress to combat the pandemic, our Nation is experiencing one of the quickest job market recoveries ever seen.

The unequal burden that COVID-19 and climate change has placed on communities of color is not coincidental.

I see my work as grounded in serving others and my community--and that's what CDFIs and MDIs are doing: they are serving others and the community.

I think that is wrong-headed.

The evidence is there. These costs are being borne most acutely by everyday Georgians and small businesses.

If we are to have an economy that works for all Americans, the Federal Reserve Board needs to look more like all Americans.

Georgians are feeling the rise and the crunch of rising costs on their everyday lives.

It's raining change, in Georgia!

Let`s be really clear. Our democracy is imperiled. And time is running out.

The Senate needs to make voting rights the very next issue we take up. We must do voting rights, and we must deal with this issue now.

If that 60-vote rule can change for other things and the dome of the Capitol doesn’t come crashing down because of it, why can’t we change that 60 vote rule to pass voting rights too?

We think it`s so important that we changed the rule in order to get there in order to save the economy. Well, the warning lights on our democracy are blinking right now. And we seem unwilling to respond with the same urgency to protect the…

We make a terrible error of judgment if we became as if these are ordinary times. These are no ordinary times. And if we don`t do something to protect our democracy, here`s my fear, Rachel. I fear that we may well have crossed a Rubicon…

We must put the fire out. That means we’ve got to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and we must build a fire station to handle future fires.

The judgment of history is upon us. Future generations will ask, when the democracy was in a 911 state of emergency, what did you do to put the fire out?

If we are serious about protecting the right to vote that’s under assault right now, here’s the truth. It will fall to Democrats to do it.

It is misplaced to change the Senate rules only for the benefit of the economy when the warning lights on our democracy are flashing at the same time.

Democrats have tried again and again to engage our Republican friends in a discussion on this issue, one that lies at the foundation of our democracy, and time and time again because of a lack of good faith engagement, the rules of the…

As this January 6th investigation turns to the bigger picture, right? Not just the immediate violent acts in the capitol that day, but the plot that the capitol attack was part of.

As we cast that vote to begin addressing the debt ceiling this same chamber is allowing the ceiling of our democracy to crash in around us. I happen to believe that our democracy is at least as important as the economy.

We think it’s so important that we changed the rule in order to get there in order to save the economy. Well, the warning lights on our democracy are blinking right now. And we seem unwilling to respond with the same urgency to protect the…

Some of my Democratic colleagues are saying, but what about -- what about bipartisanship? Isn’t that important? I say, of course it is. But here’s the thing we must remember. Slavery was bipartisan. Jim Crow segregation was bipartisan. The…

Whether it is parents shopping for groceries and holiday presents or businesses trying to deliver for their customers, we have all felt the effects of the current supply chain disruptions.

And after that roundtable and many conversations with the White House supply chain disruptions task force and the Georgia Ports Authority, we were able to secure $8 million to help alleviate congestion at the Port of Savannah.
