I want to lend my voice and my support to the millions of American workers joining together and unionizing to fight for higher wages and better working conditions.

Those most vulnerable, historically underserved experience abuse at disproportionate rates.

I introduced a bill called the SHADE Act, which would have put $50 million over a 5-year--for a 5-or-so-year period.

I think that is so vitally important.

So, Mr. Chairman, I think this is wonderful. And I represent the capital of the State of New Jersey, the very historic city of Trenton.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Secretary, you know how excited I am about the Portal Bridge...

I want to talk to you a little bit about this whole issue of reconnecting neighborhoods.

I am glad that it is President Biden in the White House right now and I am very glad that you are the Secretary of Transportation.

I know that this is a problem, and I know that it disproportionately impacts Black and Brown communities on so many levels and the economically depressed.

We are very much interested in being a partner here.

The most significant impact we can make on children is their education.

It is now for us to put into practice the information that we know and to act on it.

I thank Chair Grijalva for bringing my bipartisan, bicameral bill to the floor. And I thank my Republican colleagues for supporting the same. H.R. 6201, the National Liberty Memorial Preservation Act, would extend authorization of the…

I thank the chairman and I thank everyone that my colleague, Barbara Lee, acknowledged earlier. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the MORE Act and on behalf of the countless families that have been disrupted and destroyed by our…

What can you actually tangibly do to help desegregate?

It is imperative that we open up this important conversation to the public, and privacy and civil liberties stakeholders in particular.

I am always interested in equity of opportunity, providing the opportunities for our children to be globally educationally competitive irrespective of where they live.

This decision is delaying the availability of that medicine, even though the FDA had already taken it through its procedures.

I am particularly concerned how all of those issues impact black women and the black community and black children.

I really believe that they are an answer to a lot of our issues in our particularly underserved communities.

We need to balance both [risks and benefits].

We must consider fundamental principles like privacy and due process.

So we know that we had all these problems in the schools anyway--the bullying, the racism, the homophobic behavior even at a very young age.
