Bigotry is not welcomed in this country. My thoughts are with everyone present at the Hindu temple in Aurora. I am grateful no one was harmed.

@DemWomenCaucus.bsky.social and I are appalled by DHS and ICE’s failure to provide care and account for miscarriages & pregnancy-related medical outcomes in detention centers. @Pettersen.house.gov, @RepBeatty.bsky.social, and I led a letter condemning their actions. They must be held accountable.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! I’d like to commemorate and honor the rich cultures and histories of Native American communities. Today is a perfect opportunity to celebrate, educate, and appreciate Indigenous Peoples across the United States.

Every year, more than one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness. This World Mental Health Day, I remain committed to ensuring every American has access to quality mental healthcare. Let’s tear down the stigma: it’s okay not to be okay.

Illinois families are still recovering from the July and August storms. President Trump just turned his back on them. I will not stand for that. My Illinois colleagues and I will hold him accountable for denying much-needed aid to families across the state.

For LGBTQ+ History Month, I'm honoring Rick Garcia, an activist whose efforts helped pass Illinois’s first anti-gay discrimination law. He later co-founded Equality Illinois, an advocacy organization in Chicago. Garcia’s contributions to LGBTQ+ civil rights are still felt today. Rest in peace.

Community health centers and emergency feeding operations stepped up for our communities in the wake of Trump’s attacks on SNAP and Medicaid. My Food Access in Community Health Centers Act helps them do it together, ensuring patients get the care and food access they need.

While Americans are struggling to afford housing, gas, and groceries, Trump plans to host an “exclusive” dinner for the biggest buyers of the meme coin that earned him an estimated $635 million. At the expense of the American people, Trump repeatedly shows he can be bought.

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. This Mental Health Awareness Week, check on yourself and your loved ones. You are not alone. If you or someone you love needs help, call or text 988, or visit the link below.

Happy World Teachers’ Day! Today, we celebrate educators who inspire our youth. We thank you for your dedication, hard work, and passion to make the world a better place. America cannot move forward without you all. Keep inspiring, uplifting, and supporting our children!

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 05/10/2026

The United States would not be what it is today without the contributions and sacrifices of the LGBTQ+ community. This LGBTQ+ History Month, I honor the progress they’ve made towards equal rights and stand with the community as they face attacks threatening to undo that work.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 04/10/2026

Literature has the power to change perspectives, teach lessons, and to share ideas. Nobody should be able to take that away from the public. This Banned Books Week, let’s remember that, in the face of attacks on truth and diversity, all Americans deserve the freedom to read.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 02/10/2026

“We the People,” the theme of NAACP’s Freedom Fund Gala last weekend, is more than a phrase. It’s how Black people got into spaces not meant for us: through organizing, activism, and community. We must keep doing so — not just for our sake, but for our democracy.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 02/10/2026

One of my proudest accomplishments was helping pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which prevents convicted abusers from possessing firearms and closes the “Boyfriend Loophole.” This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I continue to stand with survivors, as I always have.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 01/10/2026

Congress holds the power of the purse. Trump’s pocket rescission that cancels $810 million in federal funding is outright ILLEGAL. House Republicans must address the President’s continued undermining of the separation of powers, and he must be held accountable.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 01/10/2026

This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, let’s continue to raise awareness and honor the fighters, survivors, caregivers, and those we have lost. If you have not already, schedule your mammogram today! Early detection is key to prevention.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 30/09/2026

A year ago, ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building, where they dragged U.S. citizens and immigrants alike out of bed in the middle of the night for political theater. A year later, many are still displaced and hurting. I continue to fight for accountability and justice for all.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 29/09/2026

Grief doesn’t end when the news cycles do; Chicago Survivors stays with families after gun violence. I was honored to join them at their gala with Po Murray of @newtownaction.org, who, like Chicago Survivors, knows the pain of gun violence and turned it into action.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 29/09/2026

A Chicago resident was injured after being mistaken for a fugitive by ICE. After Operation Midway Blitz, Trump’s administration continues to purposefully target cities like Chicago and terrorize our communities with reckless, untrained agents. Congress must hold the administration accountable.

Thank you to @AIDSFoundationChi.bsky.social for having me speak at their 25th Annual Run & Walk last weekend! It was incredible to see a crowd united by the same purpose: fighting to end the AIDS crisis and supporting those currently living with HIV and AIDS.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 25/09/2026

Since the Big Ugly Law took effect, SNAP participation in Illinois has dropped 24%. That's thousands of families struggling to put food on the table so billionaires can get a tax break. This week, I talked with community leaders about what these cuts really mean.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 23/09/2026

Rural healthcare facilities should have the best available training and equipment to serve women and infants in maternity care deserts. The Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act tackles the growing maternal mortality crisis by ensuring patients can access the care they need closer to home.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 21/09/2026

G’mar Chatima Tovah to those in Illinois’ second congressional district who observe Yom Kippur! May you have a blessed fast and a meaningful period of reflection.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 20/09/2026

Who you love does not impact your ability to serve. 15 years ago, the homophobic “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy was finally repealed. Despite this, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth continue to discriminate against transgender service members, and I will fight for their recognition.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 18/09/2026

Trump’s war on Iran & his reckless tariff policies have driven diesel prices sky-high, forcing Illinois farmers to drain their pockets during harvest season. The sooner the war ends & ALL of Congress holds Trump accountable, the faster we can act to support our farmers.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 17/09/2026

“We the People.” The beginning of our Preamble enforces the idea that the power of our government belongs to the American people. This Constitution Day, I remain committed to serving Americans' best interests—not billionaires, corporations, or CEOs.

1127

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 16/09/2026

Trump’s EPA is putting our air and our environment at risk to please Big Polluters. Global warming is real; the science proves it, and this irresponsible administration is openly allowing greenhouse gas emissions to further contaminate our planet. This is DANGEROUS.

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana! This Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to honor the generations of Hispanic-Americans who helped shape Illinois’ second congressional district into what it is today. To a fruitful month and an even better future!

Asking for help can be a difficult first step! Did you know that FindSupport.gov has tools to find care to support yourself or someone you love?

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 13/09/2026

Grateful to have spoken at the Black Maternal Health Policies and Strategies Panel about the great work the Bipartisan Maternity Care Caucus has been doing, from the Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act to the WELLS Act. Black maternal care is not a partisan issue; it is a human one.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 12/09/2026

Shanah Tovah! Wishing a happy Rosh Hashanah and a fruitful new year to the Jewish community in Illinois’ second congressional district and worldwide!

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 11/09/2026

Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of our nation’s greatest tragedies. We honor the 2,977 lives lost that day, the thousands more who either became ill or died from the toxins at Ground Zero, and care for those who still carry the weight of their losses. Never forget.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 10/09/2026

There’s nothing braver than taking tremendous pain and turning it into purpose. I am grateful to have been invited to speak at the National Center for Victims of Crime’s 2026 National Training Institute Panel. I remain committed to advocating for survivors’ rights and justice.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 09/09/2026

@RepBarragan.bsky.social, @RepYvetteClarke.bsky.social, @RepEmilyRandall.bsky.social and I, along with 49 colleagues, are again demanding that Secretary Kennedy and CMS Administrator Oz immediately cease the sharing of all Medicaid data with ICE. It is a shame that we have to say this again.

11611

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 09/09/2026

It’s been a year since Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz terrorized our neighborhoods, separated thousands of families, and instilled fear into our communities. However, our spirits are too strong to break. Together, we continue to stand against his efforts and support our neighbors.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 08/09/2026

Happy birthday to the unconquerable and legendary Ruby Bridges! Her story and the legacy that followed remain an inspiration to us all. May her incredible courage remind each of us that no room is off-limits, and we all have the power to break barriers and change history.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 08/09/2026

Charissa Berrini was a joy to everyone who knew her. As a Blue Island native, her passion for uplifting her community, her family, and educating youth was unmatched. She will be deeply missed. May she rest in peace, and I send my deepest condolences to her loved ones.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 07/09/2026

This Labor Day, I’m thinking about the Pullman porters, who, in 1925, organized the first all-black union, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Their fight helped build the labor movement and the Civil Rights Movement. I’ll keep protecting the right for workers to organize.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 07/09/2026

Honored to have been awarded Prep Insight Magazine’s Lifetime Achievement Award alongside my colleague, Rep. Danny Davis! My work does not stop here, however. As long as I am your representative, I will continue to diligently serve you and Illinois’ second district.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 05/09/2026

Last week, I was honored to be part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Access South Cook, a new accessible affordable housing development in the heart of Park Forest. Congrats to Park Forest, IFF, and all who helped to make the Southlands truly a home for everyone!

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 04/09/2026

Our skilled laborers and first responders who are helping our communities recover after the July and August severe storms are a testament to the spirit of the people of Illinois. Thank you for all that you have done; my gratitude is with you.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 03/09/2026

“Woke” is not evil. “Woke” will not ruin this country. This administration’s attacks on DEI policies and programs are an attempt to dismantle hard-earned progress towards civil rights and equal opportunity. I will not let this happen.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 03/09/2026

The road to recovery is hard, but no one should have to walk it alone. This National Recovery Month, I honor those who are on their journey and those who have yet to begin—your strength inspires us all.

It's going to be a hot one today, Illinois! Some tips to stay safe: -Stay hydrated -Stay indoors -Wear loose & light clothing. -Don't leave pets & people in a closed car. -Check on your family, friends & neighbors. For more resources, visit: keepcool.illinois.gov

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 02/09/2026

As we return from recess, my colleagues and I urge Speaker Johnson to bring the Restore Trust in Government Act to the floor immediately. Americans deserve a REAL stock trading ban for Washington politicians, not one that masquerades as a voter suppression bill.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 31/08/2026

Thank you to everyone who attended the Black Women & Girls Wellness Summit on Saturday! We shared stories, resources, and honest conversation about what it takes to care for our health while caring for our society. This is how communities thrive.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 31/08/2026

62 years ago, the Food Stamp Act of 1964 made a promise: no one in this country should go hungry. Now the Trump administration’s efforts to eliminate SNAP are an effort to rob millions of Americans of their food security. I will not stay quiet while this happens.

1136

Congresswoman Robin Kelly @robinkelly.house.gov · 31/08/2026

As August ends, I want to emphasize the importance of supporting your local black-owned businesses. Illinois’s second congressional district is home to many black businesses, all of which are essential aspects of our local economy. Support one today!
