That is why in April I reintroduced my legislation calling for the Expanding META Act, which would fund research and activities related to zero emission technologies from ports and vessels.

I am working on new legislation that would leverage the Economic Development Administration's expertise and existing grants to support disadvantaged communities in identifying and planning out infrastructure projects.

I recently introduced the Environmental Justice Mapping and Date Collection Act with Senator Duckworth and Representative Cori Bush from Missouri.

We must solve this problem for future generations.

The GOP used to stand for Grand Old Party, now it’s -- GOP stands for the gas and oil party.

The planet is running a fever. There are no emergency rooms for planets.

The Democratic Party won in 2020 on this issue -- the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. And it was driven by millions of young people all across our country who rose up, went out to the polls, they worked hard, and they have a big IOU…

Well, it sounds like to me that they have a package which is climate denial masquerading as bipartisanship. We can’t have an infrastructure bill in 2021 that doesn’t have climate at its center.

The planet cannot survive another successful Republican obstructionist strategy. We have to have climate at the center of any infrastructure package in order to have my vote. No climate, no deal.

I think it should be high on the American policy agenda to put a plan in place in order to give protections to Uyghur-Americans.

We have to have a counter

I have long championed the RFA's Uyghur service, despite the Chinese Government's efforts to silence reporters.

The Chinese Government's genocide is enabled by its massive and invasive surveillance system deployed throughout Xinjiang.

Thank you for your leadership. Thank you for your courage.

The Chinese Government has inflamed anti-Uyghur sentiment and Islamophobia throughout China through its portrayal of Uyghurs, in its state-controlled media.

America's strength is derived from the example it sets by championing human rights and representational government.

It is the result one would expect. When people have no access to independent media, they have no alternative except what information the state provides them.

The genocide in Xinjiang is a stain on the global conscience.

Preventing further atrocities and seeking justice and accountability must be a top foreign policy agenda for this Administration.

Your courage and your husband's courage, your family's courage, has really shown a spotlight on the corruption in Belarus, and we are not going to go away.

This is our task, to do everything possible to rescue those people.

There is no Federal standard for PFAS contamination in food and drink, which is, at this late date, is still unbelievable that we don't set that standard.

Towns across Massachusetts are working hard and finding innovative solutions to pay for PFAS remediation and protect their residents.

That is obviously, looking back retrospectively, that the Department of Defense thought that this was all kind of just a sacrifice in the areas around these defense facilities, that the communities would have to pay in perpetuity for…

Because PFAS are used in firefighting foams, they pose a particular danger to our firefighters, our military members, their families, and surrounding communities.
