The U.S.-Japan alliance has reached unprecedented heights as we work to promote stability in the Indo-Pacific Region.

It was an honor to hear from Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida today.

Thank you Black Mamas Matter Alliance for hosting another wonderful discussion on Black maternal health and all we can do to support Black Mamas!

#BlackMaternalHealthWeek #BMHW24

We must ensure that patients have access to comprehensive reproductive health care services — including access to abortion, contraception & fertility treatments.
I filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to mandate that our health care systems continue to abide by EMTALA.

In Congress, I will continue to advocate for Black Mamas and families through policies that close gaps in access to maternal health care.

We must dismantle the barriers that Black mamas face prior to, during, and beyond pregnancy. #BMHW24

My district is home to the Henrico Doula program, a joint effort of the Richmond & Henrico Health Districts and Birth in Color RVA to offer free doula care to Black pregnant women in Henrico. #BlackWomenLead

Nurses, midwives and doulas work tirelessly to support our healthcare system.

They provide care to Black women and birthing to ensure more positive outcomes. #BMHW24

I am a proud cosponsor of the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act!

This vital bill reaffirms that #BlackMamasMatter and includes provisions to address the major drivers of the maternal mortality crisis. #BMHW24

This Congress, I introduced the Child Care Assistance for Maternal Health Act to improve access to short-term child care during the critical pregnancy, childbirth & postpartum periods.

I am also a cosponsor of the Women’s Health Protection Act & the Right to Contraception Act.

Since Roe fell, we have seen worse health outcomes for Black mamas nationwide. In Congress, I’m fighting to advance and promote legislation that advances #ReproJustice .

I won’t stop until we enshrine Roe into federal law. #BMHW24

After Trump-appointed judges overturned Roe v Wade, it’s more important than ever to center #ReproJustice our conversations around Black maternal health.

Black mamas’ lives depend on access to comprehensive reproductive health care services. #EndMaternalMortality

I'm a Black mama who almost died during childbirth when my daughter was born 9 weeks early. She spent the next 6 weeks in the NICU.

Long-standing racial disparities contribute to the staggeringly high maternal mortality rates Black mamas face. We deserve #BirthEquity .

Greetings all! Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan here.

I’m a proud mama and the first Black woman to represent Virginia in Congress. While in the Virginia General Assembly, I fought to support Black Mamas and advance #ReproJustice .

Now in Congress, I’m continuing those efforts.

Stay tuned for today’s #BlackMaternalHealthWeek TweetChat hosted by Black Mamas Matter Alliance!

As a member of Black Maternal Health Caucus, I look forward to this conversation and will continue working to protect Black women. #BMHW24

It was an honor to meet Mr. Dontae Davis, who was nominated as the Air Force 363rd Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Wing Civilian Category III of the Year! 

Congratulations Dontae!

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration established the first-ever national drinking water standards to protect communities from exposure to PFAS.

Limiting these “forever chemicals” will save lives and prevent thousands of illnesses, including cancers. apnews.com/article/foreve…

House Republicans failed to pass a rule vote for the SEVENTH time this Congress – four of which have occurred under Speaker Johnson.

These are the most failed rule votes in half a Century... The Chaos Caucus strikes again!

Today, House Armed Services held a hearing on U.S. military readiness and national security challenges in Europe.

My questions focused on Russian aggression in Ukraine and beyond and our newest NATO allies.

Too many Americans have experienced cyberflashing and other forms of online sexual harassment.

My CONSENT Act would make these practices illegal. Learn more about my bill at @19thNews. instagram.com/p/C5WTjQKOvbP/
