Bill Lee

Teachers of color are more likely to teach in schools serving mostly students of color.

How do you make sure--and you are going to make sure the black and brown people are on the infrastructure projects?

And thank you in your testimony for being straight up, pretty blunt and authentic in much of what you talked, wrote about especially in your testimony as it relates to black women.

So it is just so important that we really have as a priority, care, treatment, the needs of our seniors because they deserve the best care in the world.

But we need to provide training to everyone that works with older adults.

We know that veterans experience a higher prevalence of pain and are twice as likely to die from accidental opioid overdose.

The bill allows criminal homicide charges for anyone who aids an abortion.

And so this is the serious moment. And she also naturally had to politicize it, because this is about elections. This is about electing pro-choice, pro-reproductive freedom members of Congress, who are primarily Democrats, to make sure…

Yes, what they`re trying to do, Joy, is criminalize our bodies. And all these bogus arguments are totally irrelevant.

It’s critically important that they step up now and do that, because this is not only affecting black and brown women, it’s not only affecting women who are registered Democrats, this is affecting all women, Republican women also.

This is a matter of racial justice, because women who have money and majority, excuse me, of women who don’t have money are low and who are low income are black and brown women.

We have to organize, organize, organize, and elect candidates who are going to support a woman’s right to privacy.

We have to educate the public about voter participation and civic engagement, because otherwise, we`re going to end up with what word it looks like.

I could not keep quiet. I had to tell the truth about what happened to me. I had to sound the alarm.

Yes, they’re trying to criminalize our bodies. Yes, they’re trying to move toward states’ rights. And we all know what states’ rights means.

Everything is political. We have to organize, we have to mobilize, and we have to make these senators now and Republican women -- the public supports a woman`s right to reproductive freedom.

I think this is an exciting body of research and looking forward to that.

My State is not alone in facing a mental health crisis, especially as a result of this pandemic.

I have been the beneficiary of many of those programs and being able to enjoy them in our community.

I am proud to represent Las Vegas in Southern Nevada, which is the epicenter of our country's creative and cultural economies.

It is the worst drought that this region has seen in 12 centuries, and honestly, too many children in my district don't even--have not lived a life without it.

The Water levels in Lake Meade became so low that one of the intakes responsible for supplying the entire Las Vegas Valley with water is now visible above the lake surface, so this is long past an emergency.

Thank you, Madam Secretary. Yes, this is obviously an important issue in our State, where we have many opportunities for this type of development.

It is imperative to make this transition, and obviously, time is of the essence.

Maybe there is a way where we can prioritize projects that have the funding, are sort of shovel ready, and get them out the door to ease up some of this backlog.
