I'm proud to celebrate #Juneteenth with @MrDannyGlover. This year's holiday takes on special significance because of today's House hearing on H.R. 40 to study the impacts of slavery. We must come to terms with slavery's horrors and how they affect every aspect of our lives today.

As we transition from Black History Month to Women's History Month I want to celebrate with my colleagues and sisters in the Congressional Black Caucus as we read Maya Angelou's incredibly moving poem "Still I Rise."

Many New York City museums have days when people can visit free, or pay an admission fee they choose. And some museums, like our own, never charge admission. @6sqft provides a helpful list: bit.ly/2IgFpqz #freemuseums

Today we passed the first gun legislation I’ve had a chance to vote on since I arrived in Congress. We are finally voting on common sense gun reform that Americans have been calling for for years. #HR8

We RISE UP so each of us can decide if and when to become a parent. #RiseUp4Roe #TrumpShutdown

These postcards are on their way to NY State JLUSA Members so they can add their voices as we call on @NYGovCuomo to stop the egregious new package rules that let for-profit companies take advantage of families with a loved one in prison. #FREEnewyork
