The Trump administration is weaponizing the federal government to target states and institutions that extend opportunity to communities of all backgrounds.
Despite baseless claims, DEI is legal and widens pathways to ensure all people have a chance to succeed in our nation.

Companies that walk away from DEI may avoid short-term pressure—but the long-term consequences are real. When you turn your back on communities, people notice. Values aren’t just a statement—they’re a commitment. fortune.com/2025/07/14/sta…

This #BigUglyBill will leave families sicker, hungrier, and poorer—all to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. That’s not policy. That’s cruelty. We’re organizing, voting, and fighting to undo the damage. Join us. aft.org/they-betrayed-…
This bill is a cruel effort to limit opportunity for millions of Americans by concentrating power among a select few — leaving our most vulnerable without health care, food assistance, and more.
We stand against these attempts to roll back progress and limit our futures.

#DefendingOurDreams
As Trump purges diversity efforts, weaponizing equity to sustain white supremacy, I'm proud to lead legislation reaffirming that diversity, equity, inclusion, & accessibility make our nation great.
Diversity is one of our greatest strengths. Our communities are not to be erased.
Over the past few months, we asked dozens of students what diversity, equity and inclusion meant to them. Here are some responses.
