It is ensuring that we do more than just recover to a pre-COVID unjust status or normal.

Thank you, Madam Chair, for convening this important and timely hearing.

for our most marginalized communities, the right to abortion guaranteed by Roe v. Wade has really only been a right in name only.

I was proud to see the House take swift action to pass the Women's Health Protection Act last week.
