Georgia conducts some of the most robust post-election audits in the country, which repeatedly confirm the accuracy of our election results. Georgians in the #FightingFifth and beyond can have confidence in our elections and in your vote.

Georgia’s voting system complies with state and federal law and has undergone rigorous testing and certification. Efforts to cast doubt on Georgia’s elections are nothing but tactics designed to deter voters and preemptively silence them.

Today, as youth violence continues to affect communities across the country, we must carry that legacy forward. My resolution would establish this week as “National Nonviolence Week,” encouraging programs and activities aimed at raising awareness and preventing youth violence.

Nonviolence helped change the course of American history in the #FightingFifth and beyond. As a young activist, Congressman John Lews helped lead a movement grounded in nonviolent action, and later, in Congress, he introduced a resolution supporting National Nonviolence Week.

Breaking down barriers between young people and the ballot is exactly why I introduced the Youth Voting Rights Act — to make sure polling places are available on university campuses in the #FightingFifth and across the country.

Welcome to #SecureTheBallot – my new series about the fight for our right to vote and what it means to protect that right today. We’re starting here in the heart of the #FightingFifth with my friend, mentor, and predecessor, the late, great Congressman John Lewis.

The Annual Senior Ball was a beautiful evening celebrating our #FightingFifth seniors who paved the way! This year’s theme, “Legacy, Honor, and Elegance,” was truly on full display. 💙 I will always fight to ensure our community’s seniors have the resources they need to thrive!

From packing 1 million meals to feed our neighbors and celebrating 160 years of service at Central United Methodist Church to welcoming transit leaders and fighting for better maternal healthcare, it was another busy week delivering for the #FightingFifth. Catch up on this week’s #NikemasNotes!

While billionaires get bailed out, families are left struggling to put food on the table. This is the devastating reality of Trump’s policies. (2/2)

Effective today, Trump’s Billionaire Bailout Bill slashes the federal share of SNAP administrative costs in half, leaving states to pick up the tab.   Since this law was enacted in 2025, more than 5 million people, including 1.5 million children, have lost SNAP benefits. (1/2)

America is facing a maternal health crisis — and too many mamas in the #FightingFifth are being left behind. That's why I’m urging CMS to expand maternal telehealth access for Medicaid beneficiaries during and after pregnancy. Our mamas deserve care, no matter their bank account or ZIP code.

I'm a proud APS mama but I'm an even prouder one this week. My Carter-cakes celebrated his first homecoming at Ralph J. Bunch Middle School in the #FightingFifth. Being Mr. Music Tech's mama is the greatest joy of my life and it's a blessing to watch his education journey unfold everyday.

As our Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens reminds us, Atlanta is a group project. MARTA General Manager & CEO Jonathan Hunt tells us MARTA is, too. I look forward to the working with community leaders to expand equity and accessibility in transportation across the #FightingFifth and our region.

Central United Methodist Church is celebrating 160 years — and it’s the church I call home. For generations, this historic Black church has served the #FightingFifth through faith, social justice, and education. I was honored to present a Congressional Proclamation to Dr. Daniel.

Trump’s billionaire bailout bill keeps hurting our communities. The elimination of Grad PLUS loans has left Morehouse School of Medicine students in the #FightingFifth struggling to put food on the table while pursuing their education. Our students deserve better.

I voted to bring articles of impeachment against Donald Trump to the floor. House Republicans tabled them, then tabled Congress. Working families in the #FightingFifth and across the country are still working. Congress should be, too.

1 million meals packed in the heart of the #FightingFifth to help put food on our neighbors’ tables! This is what delivering for your community looks like. I’m so inspired by the way Atlantans come together to lift each other up, turning community care into concrete action and real results.

The Supreme Court’s decision to allow Trump and DHS to use this system to purge voter rolls is a disgrace to our constitutional right to vote.

Last week, Terri-Nichelle came to D.C. to share the challenges that come with owning a small business. So, I had to come see her in her element to witness the joy, inspiration, and impact she’s creating through the Brown Toy Box. Thank you, Terri-Nichelle, for all you do for the #FightingFifth.

Congratulations to Ambassador Andrew Young on receiving the CBCF Board Chair Award! In 60+ years of service, Young has been a leader in Civil Rights, represented Georgia’s 5th District in Congress, served as Atlanta's Mayor, and served as Ambassador to the UN. Grateful to walk a path he paved.

While 760,000 Americans are being forced to give up their healthcare to "save costs," the Trump Administration continues spending billions on war. It’s clear what their priorities are, and it’s clear they’re not with you. Working families in the #FightingFifth and beyond deserve better.

If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, make your voices heard, y’all.  Show up for issues that matter to you, because the best way to combat any type of voter suppression is more people voting.

In 1965, Coca-Cola CEO J. Paul Austin threatened to relocate the company if Atlanta's white business leaders continued to boycott the dinner honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Nobel Peace Prize. Proud to represent the headquarters of a company unafraid to speak up that lifts up our community.

One more school to add to the #FightingFifth: Hillman College! 🎓💜 Thrilled to attend the premiere of A Different World and celebrate a show that brought Black culture, friendship, and community into living rooms across America. Hillman may be fictional, but its impact is real.

Colorectal cancer affects thousands of families every year, including my own. I lost my mama way too early to colon cancer. I’m urging Secretary Kennedy and HHS to classify follow-up colonoscopies as “screenings” so they’re covered by insurance. Families shouldn't choose between care and cost.

From fighting to keep family homes in the family and making homeownership more accessible at #ALC55 to standing up for families and working to end slavery once and for all, it was another busy week delivering for the #FightingFifth. Catch up on it all in this week’s #NikemasNotes!

Congresswoman Nikema Williams @repnikema.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
When a family passes down a home, it should be the beginning of generational wealth. But heirs’ property can put family homes and land at risk of being lost, especially for Black families. I joined NAREB to discuss the HEIRS Act and my federal heirs property survey, now law.

Secretary Bessent is trying to sell you an economic story that just doesn’t add up, y’all. We don’t need the numbers to tell us that families in the #FightingFifth and across the country are struggling to afford basic necessities. Wages are slowing while costs are rising. This is not working.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out at my Open House during #ALC55! I enjoyed welcoming each and every one of you to D.C., and I look forward to working further with y’all in the #FightingFifth and beyond.🍑 🧡

When our small businesses struggle, our communities struggle. Since Republicans ended ACA subsidies, #FightingFifth constituent Terri-Nichelle Bradley is facing a $1,000+ health care premium, going uninsured, and struggling to afford coverage for her employees. Small businesses deserve better.

This is OUR Civil Rights Movement. I joined my Divine Nine colleagues to talk about the long history of Black civic participation, from voting rights in the #FightingFifth to protecting free and fair elections today. Show up. Speak up. Speak out. History is still being written.

Homeownership is about opportunity, building generational wealth, and having something to pass down. That’s why I hosted “Keys to the Cookout: Unlocking Homeownership in Black Communities” at #ALC55. We’re working to make safe, affordable, desirable homes accessible to families in the #FightingFifth

That’s not freedom.   That’s why I’m fighting to #EndTheException and finally abolish slavery in America in every form. (2/2)
072
Congresswoman Nikema Williams @repnikema.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
The 13th Amendment abolished slavery. Except it didn’t.   The “exception clause” allows slavery as punishment for a crime. This is a loophole that has been used and abused for over 160 years, contributing to the criminalization, incarceration, and exploitation of Black people in this country. (1/2)

Join my panel to talk about how we can put more keys in the hands of families ready to build, own, and pass down wealth for generations to come. I’ll be joined by an incredible group of leaders in housing, finance, and community investment to discuss what’s working, and what comes next.🏡🔑
