Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 7hWe stand with you @repilhan.bsky.social. 423756
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 9hHey #MA7: Join members of my staff and Central Boston Elder Services for community office hours October 29th at 10am in Roxbury. Come learn about federal and local resources available and how we can support you. 0259
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 12/10/2026Grateful for another incredible week in the Massachusetts 7th engaging with constituents & supporting our communities! Swipe to see some of what I was up to this week ➡️ 0467
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 11/10/2026What a joy to drop by our City Year cohort this week! I’m so grateful for everything City Year does to equip our young people with the knowledge and skills to succeed & dream. The work y’all do makes the #MA7 a better place–and I’m here to support you, too. 24811
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 11/10/2026Proud to support our local businesses and visit community anchors across the #MA7 like Nuba Cafe! Always glad to visit and check in on how small businesses are doing and how I can provide support. 0545
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 10/10/2026A hill I’ll die on: Those closest to the pain deserve to be closest to the power. 18814
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 10/10/2026Regarding @USPS' closure of the Allston branch: Any Boston resident can submit a public comment by emailing AllstonPostOffice@Boston.gov and including your name & address. 15127
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 08/10/2026I'm proud to represent vibrant, diverse Latino communities who have shaped & defined Massachusetts. And I'm committed to governing cooperatively and fighting for them in Washington. I convened #MA7 Latino leaders to listen to & bring their stories with me to the 120th Congress. 0518
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 08/10/2026This Banned Books Week, learn about my Books Save Lives Act. Our bill counteracts the rise in books bans nationwide and helps ensure an inclusive learning environment for ALL students. Congress must pass it without delay. 26225
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 08/10/2026Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system and deserve fair contracts that reflect that standard of care. We're calling on @MassGenBrigham to remain at the bargaining table with @MassNurses to reach a good faith agreement that addresses the needs of nurses, patients, and our constituents. 18421
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 07/10/2026Our Black entrepreneurs are pillars of our communities. And it was a joy to see their work up close at BECMA's Mass Black Expo this year. I'll keep fighting for policies like my SPARK Act to invest in minority entrepreneurship and close the racial wealth gap. 0437
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 06/10/2026Abortion restrictions are harmful policy and deeply unpopular, and Republicans know it. As Co-Chair of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I'll always fight to protect and expand abortion access like the human right that it is. 28225
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 06/10/2026The USPS is a lifeline for #MA7 residents for everything from daily meds, Social Security checks, mail-in ballots, & staying connected to loved ones. That's why we're not letting them go back on their word and rip away this resource by permanently closing the Allston branch. 28830
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 05/10/2026Congratulations to my dedicated district aide Mateo for being named one of the 2026 ALX100 by We Are ALX! Every day, I'm grateful for Mateo's advocacy & leadership on behalf of everyone who calls the #MA7 home. This recognition is so well-deserved. #HispanicHeritageMonth 0595
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 05/10/2026I refuse to live in a world where sexual assault is a normalized part of being a woman or girl. This should NEVER be acceptable and we must always demand accountability—for Jane Doe survivors everywhere. 016138
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 03/10/2026The Cornell case is heartbreaking and unacceptable. R*pe culture in America is real. And we need a systemic overhaul of our norms and legal system—from the government to the personal level—to end it once and for all. 215251
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 02/10/2026The state of our economy is failing Black workers, families, & futures—and this is a damning reminder of that. We need federal action to address this crisis. Sec. Scott Bessent must release the report on the impact of Black unemployment. And the Fed must do its job to maximize employment for all. 429799
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 02/10/2026Having alopecia, I know the impact of severe hair loss. For some, wigs bring physical & emotional support. Proud to lead the Wigs for Warriors Act with @repvindman.bsky.social to ensure coverage for wigs for servicemembers & their families enduring alopecia, chemo & other hair loss conditions. 25716
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 01/10/2026🚨Trump & Republicans' shameful cuts to food assistance are taking effect TODAY. That means states now have less resources to feed families facing food insecurity. In MA, over 188,000 SNAP beneficiaries have already been impacted. I'll keep fighting to expand SNAP & end hunger once and for all. 213660
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 30/09/2026We'll never have justice for Nolan Wells, for in a just world he'd still be alive. But there must be accountability. We'll never stop saying his name & demanding the answers his family deserves. And we'll never stop fighting for a world where Black men can grow old and thrive. 317246
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 30/09/2026Grateful for the firefighters & first responders who worked around the clock to contain the fire through the historic Edison Building in Nubian Square. I'm sending my heartfelt support to the small businesses & workers who have been displaced from this tragedy. 1659
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 29/09/2026I will never stop fighting for healing and accountability for every survivor. You are not alone. I am so sorry for what you have endured. You should be heard, valued, and met with support. 14518
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 28/09/2026Trump & Secretary Duffy have no right to steal federal transit funding from Roxbury, which we fought hard to secure. This project is an investment in our people that will improve the daily lives of commuters. The law is on our side and DOT must reverse course. 39924
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 27/09/2026Medical needs. Lost income. Mental health support. Housing. By no fault of their own, survivors of sexual violence can incur debilitating financial costs. Our Survivors’ Rights Restitution Act would help deliver the restitution survivors deserve. 211845
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 26/09/2026It's so good to join the National Alopecia Areata Foundation for their annual Walk for Alopecia. Nearly 7M people are living with alopecia, an auto-immune disease which every person carries differently. To my alopecia tribe: know this Congresswoman sees you & loves you. 09517
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 25/09/2026The cruelty is undeniable here. Miscarriages can be devastating & they require medical care. Pregnant women shouldn’t be unjustly detained & warehoused in the first place. And now, ICE is refusing to collect data on miscarriages in custody. Horrifying, shameful, & completely unacceptable. 710042
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 25/09/2026Cycling is a climate, transit, and public safety issue. I convened a roundtable with advocates to discuss how we can make our communities safer and more accessible for pedestrians, cyclist, & commuters across the #MA7. 18720
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 25/09/2026Hey Secretary Scott Bessent, you told the American people under oath to “watch this space” after President Xi’s visit. Are baby products going to be exempt from Trump’s reckless tariffs—yes or no? 17222
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 25/09/2026America has a long history of using lynching as a tool to kill, intimidate, & keep Black folks in their place. The hangings of Black folks across the country deserve extra scrutiny. The DOJ & FBI must investigate these suspicious deaths & enforce the Emmett Till Antilynching Act. 713252
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 24/09/2026Deeply alarmed by the ICE raids in New Bedford and the South Coast. Disappearing parents on their way to work or to pick up their kids from school is appalling and does NOTHING to keep communities safe. We must abolish ICE and stop this campaign of cruelty and terror. 1019990
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 23/09/2026For months, I've called for baby products to be exempt from Trump's tariffs. Secretary Scott Bessent has repeatedly told me they're under consideration, and last week told me to "watch this space" after Xi's visit. Well, we're watching. Families deserve more than lip service. 46814
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 23/09/2026For Epstein survivors & all survivors of sexual violence, accountability must include restitution. Our bill not only acknowledges their trauma but also provides a path to justice with meaningful compensation. Congress must act & support survivors in their healing journey. 47619
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 22/09/2026Black folks are being pushed out of the workforce & unemployment rates are at their highest since the pandemic. That's why we need a Federal Job Guarantee now more than ever. My bill will help America reach full employment & help achieve long-term economic security for all. 36022
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 22/09/2026He attacks the freedom of the press, kicks media outlets of the White House, and now he's launching state-run propaganda TV. This is what dictators do and NONE of this is normal. 411140
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 21/09/2026Congress can't stand by while AI and billionaires threaten humankind, gamble with our lives, and exploit Black, brown, and other marginalized communities. We need comprehensive, federal AI regulations NOW that prioritize our rights and safety, including our AI Civil Rights Act. 37419
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 21/09/2026Our greatest wealth as a nation is the health of our people. That’s exactly why I'm so grateful to represent a district with the highest concentration of community health centers. Centers like NEW Health in Charlestown are doing incredible work keeping our residents healthy. 0609
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 20/09/2026Epstein survivors deserve restitution for the failures of our government. Our Survivors’ Rights Restitution Act would establish a fund to provide this vital compensation. Because when the government violates a survivor's rights, there must be remedy, accountability, & healing. 313040
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 19/09/2026Reparations are not only about redress for past harm. They're about dismantling the inequities that continue to shape Black life today. 28624
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 18/09/2026In February, Secretary Scott Bessent said under oath he'd analyze Black unemployment data and report back on its impacts to our economy. 7 months later and we're still waiting. He needs to get serious about addressing this crisis that is devastating both Black families & our economy. 18419
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 18/09/2026Massachusetts: We're seeing an uptick in ICE raids across the Commonwealth. If you're confronted by police or immigration agents, make sure you Know Your Rights. 6186141
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 17/09/2026BREAKING: My bill to help renters passed out of @ushousefsc.bsky.social in a bipartisan vote. Everyone needs access to a quality home they can actually afford. Our bill creates an eviction hotline to ensure renters know their rights as tenants & get help even before an eviction is filed. 69327
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 16/09/2026For too long, the federal government has been complicit & failed to address the economic burden faced by survivors of sexual violence. Our bill would change that by holding the government & abusers accountable and delivering the restitution survivors deserve. 0529
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 16/09/2026Minister Don and Sister Shirley Muhammad created a beautiful legacy of sacrifice & service. They were loved by the Nation of Islam, the City of Boston, & by this community. I joined their loved ones & community leaders in the unveiling of Minister Don & Sister Shirley Muhammad Square. 0518
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 16/09/2026Workers & families are struggling to afford a home, buy food, raise their kids, pay their utility bills, & more. And they deserve a government that’s going to make their life easier—not harder. But that's exactly what's happening under Donald Trump and Secretary Scott Bessent. 411439
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 14/09/2026TY to everyone who joined our town hall in JP this week with @ben4district6.bsky.social. We won't stop holding Trump accountable for the harm he's done to our communities. Together, we'll keep organizing, standing up for our neighbors, & fighting back against this fascist Administration. 0519
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 13/09/2026It was so good to be at Open Streets Boston in Mattapan speaking with residents, connecting with local businesses & hearing about the good work they’re doing for all neighbors who call the MA-07 their home. 0469
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 13/09/2026This is absolutely terrifying and should be a five alarm fire for Congress. We need comprehensive, federal AI regulations NOW that prioritize our rights and safety. And we cannot let AI and multibillion dollar corporations threaten humanity. 129224
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 12/09/2026We fought for years to pass a bill to rename a post office in Boston after Caroline Chang. She was an incredible public servant who dedicated her life to our Chinatown community. 26813
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @pressley.house.gov · 12/09/202625 years ago, an act of terror resulted in unimaginable loss, trauma, & grief. That's why I'm so grateful for the compassionate response of our neighbors & communities, year after year. TY Home Base & Project 351 for hosting us for a day of service for 9/11 families. 25611
