Rashida Tlaib

The FBI clearly has a troubled history of failing Black and brown Americans, and it is time that we all work together to change it.

I just hope we are actually having the will and the courage to enforce it.

I don't think we need new laws or statutes. What we do need is a will and political courage to take this crisis in our country very seriously.

The dates may have changed, but the tactics and the racist hate remain the same.

There is no explanation for this other than racist desire to terrorize Black communities across our country.

Proposals for a Water Resources Development Act of 2022: Members' Day Hearing

It is really hard, as someone that lives in frontline communities, that, you know, for many of my residents, we really don't feel seen or heard when much of these discussions are held.

We are basically paying people to make money off of destroying our land.

I think my question is to someone that can answer, and this really is a sincere question about how much do we subsidize. Is it $2 billion that we subsidize for private companies to destroy, cut down our trees on our lands?

Most of the jobs, especially in my community, from corporate polluters, they are temporary, and they will be of little use if another oil spill is allowed to destroy the source of our water and source of our life.

I think it is safe to say, at a minimum, we need to implement real tribal co-management.

It is disgusting that there is even a debate about whether dirty oil should flow through the waters that give us life in the Great Lakes region.

I am humbled by what we have learned from our Native Americans and traditional ecology-centered knowledge.

I totally hear you. But I think much of what is happening... is because of some of these broken systems and not thinking forward.

If our planet warms 2 degrees Celsius, the damage will be irreparable.

For me, this is not inflation, it is extortion.

The same methods of policing and surveillance and using race, ethnicity, and national origin as a proxy continues today.

A lot of policies, as a Black American, as a Muslim American, tells me that I do not belong.

Unfortunately, when the critical allocations were delayed, it is our small town residents who suffer the most.

I also think there should have been a limit to how many extensions states could request to provide small cities with their rightful allocations.

I was concerned to see, you know, especially my NEUs' allocations would be first sent to the states.

The Federal Government can set an example by passing policies like EJ For All to, one, invest by giving us the tools to be able to do this work

$175 million tax break for Marathon refinery buys Detroiters only 15 jobs.

I think it shows the racial impacts are very hard to predict and that we have to take every opportunity that we can to address those issues.

More of my Black neighbors die from COVID because of pre-existing conditions, even though they make up less than 14 percent of the total population in the state of Michigan.
