Your apologies feel empty and insincere and sort of PR responses, because McKinsey was profiting off of the hurt and harm for years with zero remorse.

Thank you to the committee staff who drafted the report detailing the deceptive, callous, and immoral role that McKinsey has played in furthering the opioid epidemic.

As the people's lawyer, General Healey has been a national leader in efforts to confront the opioid public health crisis.

These book bans are really no more than a malicious political campaign of erasure, erasure of civil rights history...

Across the country, scholars are calling out, rightfully so, how banning books on race and LGBTQ issues from our schools are impeding their education and their own personal development and growth.

Would you at least be willing to go on record and say that you would review this surcharge policy?

I think the detrimental impacts of these fees and its governments' abilities to effectively combat the pandemic is not really up for debate.

Being poor in America is expensive. Millions of families and workers are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet due to unlivable wages, a lack of affordable health care, the absence of paid leave, and many other policies…

Congress must stop enabling a predatory health insurance system, one that repeatedly fails our most vulnerable communities.

Healthcare is a human right, and we need Medicare for All.

Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.

The fight to make Medicare for All a reality is intrinsically a fight to center people with disabilities once and for all.

We cannot separate the rampant appraisal bias against Black homeowners from our nation's history of segregation and redlining.

Homes in Black neighborhoods are valued 23 percent less, on average, than those in comparable White neighborhoods.

The systemic evaluation of Black communities and homes adds up to around $156 billion in lost equity.

When we say, 'Black Lives Matter,' that must also mean that Black communities matter, Black businesses, Black homes, and Black wealth matters.

I think it is so important that we bring Congresswoman Adams' bill to the floor and support this IGNITE bill for HBCUs who have been under resourced but have been outsized in their contributions for generations.

The bomb threats facing HBCUs really must be properly contextualized by America's long history of anti-Blackness and white supremacist violence against our community.

The impact that these threats have on our HBCU communities, it is devastating.

Those responsible for these crimes deserve swift justice.

These threats are entirely and wholly unacceptable. No one should have to live life in fear.

These price hikes are rooted in corporate greed, plain and simple, and low-income families will continue to pay the highest price.

That sounds like corporate price gouging.

Investments with the American Rescue Plan were used--directed toward community health centers who were critical in combating health disparities, affordable housing, free transit, bonus payments to low income essential workers

As we approach the two-year mark since the onset of the pandemic, we have to be candid about its disproportionate impact on the lives of Black, brown, indigenous, immigrant, and low income communities.
