Floor Statements

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on this day in righteous indignation and vehement opposition to the barbaric policing, detention, and, indeed, even murder of immigrants at the hands of the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and CBP, on the orders of Donald Trump.

With immunity granted not by the law, but by lawlessness, President Trump's untrained, unrestrained, and utterly amoral agents within ICE and CBP are perpetrating a crusade of cruelty with very few parallels in our history.

It has struck our neighbors, taken our loved ones from their homes, and left dozens of decent people on our streets and those illegally detained dead with no crimes committed, but a belief in an American Dream that no longer exists and has become a living nightmare.

To my GOP colleagues, tell me this: In what moral, God-fearing nation would the penalty for seeking a better life be a brutal death? In what modern country would people fleeing injustice and inhumanity find nothing but more injustice and more inhumanity?

The Statue of Liberty begs to give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Those words call out to the world's most vulnerable people so America might be their survival and not their death.

It is time for this terrible experiment in Trumpism to end and, in turn, to secure a new immigration system centered on compassion, not cruelty, not dehumanization, and not death; entrusted to competent officers, not kidnapping, not killer thugs; and bent toward justice, not broken by Donald Trump.

Mr. Speaker, I am Representative D. Yvette Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus for the 119th Session of Congress, proudly representing New York's Ninth Congressional District in central and southwest Brooklyn.

I thank my dear colleague Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan for anchoring this Congressional Black Caucus Special Order hour and really setting the table for a conversation that we are having this evening.

I rise tonight with my colleagues of the Congressional Black Caucus to honor the life and legacy of our dear friend and former colleague, the conscience of this Congress, Congressman John Lewis.

For more than 30 years in the United States House of Representatives and over the course of his life, Congressman John Lewis never stopped fighting for justice, equality, and the right to vote.

Today, the very ideals that Congressman Lewis spent his life fighting to protect are under sustained and unprecedented attack. As we speak, extremist Republicans at the local, State, and national levels are using every tactic in their arsenal to disenfranchise Black and minority communities.

To date, hundreds of bills to restrict voting access have been introduced in States around the country with the aim of closing polling locations, curbing early voting and mail-in ballots, and imposing stricter national voter ID requirements.

Right now Republicans in the Congress are fighting to jam through voter suppression legislation, like the so-called SAVE America Act and the Voter ID Act, ushering in a national ID program.

In the wake of the Callais decision, Black political power and representation has come under direct assault, with Republican-led legislatures and Governors moving to redraw congressional maps across the south ahead of the November election in a brazen effort to dilute Black voting strength and reverse decades of hard-fought civil rights progress secured through the Voting Rights Act.

With these unprecedented assaults on our voting rights and the slow erosion of our constitutional and Democratic norms, each of us has a moral responsibility to speak out and act out as Congressman John Lewis did. Voting

rights are and have always been the CBC's North Star.

For generations, our communities have marched, fought, and even died for the right to vote. Congressman Lewis certainly knew this.

At a time when our democracy is under constant siege by the Trump administration, we must do all that we can to protect those most fundamental and foundational rights.

It is a shame that partisan politics has brought us to a point that we cannot agree that access to the ballot box should be a right afforded to every American. Congressman John Lewis devoted every day of his life to fighting to make our country live up to its highest ideals--to promise that we are all created equal.

From the Edmund Pettus Bridge to the Halls of Congress, the boy from Troy never stopped making good trouble. As he would say: necessary trouble.

It is in that spirit that the CBC and House Democrats will always fight back against the voter suppression that plagues our country and impedes access to the ballot box, particularly in Black communities. It is in light of that spirit that we will not stop until we pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and modernize the protections of the Voting Rights Act to prevent States from erecting new barriers to the ballot box.

Mr. Speaker, I will just say that we miss John Lewis. In this moment, it is up to all of us to pick up the mantle of his legacy and press forward, making good trouble, necessary trouble.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a sense of overwhelming gratitude and admiration for my longtime district director, Ms. Anita Taylor, as she celebrates her retirement.

For more than two decades, from my days as a member of the New York City Council to my tenure in the House of Representatives, Anita has stood by my side, devoted to the cause of selflessly serving the people of the Ninth District of New York, the beloved community that we call home.

As my district director, she has never failed to rise on behalf of those who need her aid or just her listening ear and wise counsel. Truly, Anita is a woman so dear to my heart, so essential to my team, and so beloved by the good people of Brooklyn.

While I am overjoyed to see her embrace her next chapter and all the beauty, peace, and rejuvenation it has to offer, I cannot help but feel a sense of melancholy on having to enter into this new chapter in my own career without her by my side. Thankfully, I know she is only a phone call away.

From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of Team Clarke and the people of New York's Ninth Congressional District, I thank Anita. I wish her only the best because the best is all she has ever delivered, and the best is what she deserves.

I congratulate her.

Mr. Speaker, due to scheduled activities and planned obligations within the district, I had to miss votes. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 223, and YEA on Roll Call No. 224.

Mr. Speaker, I am Representative Yvette D. Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, proudly representing New York's Ninth Congressional District in central and southwest Brooklyn.

I thank my colleague, Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, for anchoring this Congressional Black Caucus Special Order hour.

It has been 13 days since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965, opening the door to a coordinated attack on Black political power and fair representation across the South.

Since the Callais decision came down, Republicans across the country have wasted no time in their zealous pursuit of power. They have moved with lighting speed to enact new congressional maps in Florida, Tennessee, and Missouri, and are taking aggressive action in Louisiana, Alabama, and South Carolina.

Let's be clear: This is an outright power grab, downright theft, snatching fair representation from Black voters across the South of the United States. It is about silencing Black voices, dismantling majority Black districts, and rigging the map in their favor as elections are already underway.

For years, we have sounded the alarm as the Voting Rights Act was chipped away piece by piece. Today, the consequences are here, and they are dangerous. Not since Jim Crow have we witnessed such a sweeping and deliberate effort to disenfranchise Black voters, but we are not powerless, and we are not backing down. Every inch of progress in this country has been fought for, won through struggle, through resistance, and through the courage of people this Nation tried to leave behind.

The Voting Rights Act was not handed over freely. It was fought for, organized for, litigated for, and ultimately won through the blood and sacrifices of Black Americans and allies who demanded better from their country. As a nation, we are being called to that same courageous fight today. We owe that to the generations who came before us, the freedom fighters who faced dogs, batons, firehoses, and jail cells so that we could have a voice here in the Halls of Congress.

We owe it to the generations coming after us who deserve a country where their vote is protected, their voice is heard, and their future is not predetermined by those who fear their power.

This fight is for nothing short of the future of American democracy itself, and the CBC will meet this challenge head-on, as we have time and time again, on behalf of the communities we serve.

To anyone who thinks we will be discouraged, to anyone who believes that we will be silenced, to anyone who hopes we will sit this moment out, they are mistaken. A setback is just an opportunity for a comeback, and we have no intention of allowing Republicans to drag us backward. When November comes, we will show up in numbers too big to ignore and too powerful to suppress. That is because our history has taught us that progress is never given, it is won. It is won by ordinary people with extraordinary courage and by communities that refuse to be erased.

That is the legacy we have inherited, and that is the legacy we intend to protect. We are still here. We are still fighting, and together we will win.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Virginia for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Virginia, my esteemed colleague Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan,

for sharing her story and for being so pointed in the ways in which Black women have been disadvantaged with respect to Black maternal health and for anchoring this Congressional Black Caucus Special Order hour.

Good evening. I am Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, and proudly representing New York's Ninth Congressional District in Brooklyn, New York.

I rise tonight with my colleagues of the CBC because the state of Black maternal health in America is not just a public health issue. It is a moral crisis.

In the wealthiest Nation in the world, American women suffer the highest rates of maternal mortality. This crisis falls hardest on Black women. We know the facts. In the United States, Black women are still three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women. The vast majority of complications are preventable with timely, high-quality care.

Too many families are left grieving. Too many warnings have gone unheard. Behind every statistic is a name, a story, and a family forever changed. These stories demand more than sympathy. They demand action.

These disparities are the outcome of deep inequities in access to healthcare, structural racism, and a system that too often fails Black women at every stage of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery.

These deaths are preventable. Yet, instead of preventing them and improving maternal health, Republicans are stripping coverage that mothers rely on, worsening an already deadly crisis. Efforts to dismantle healthcare, undermine reproductive health services, and strip away critical protections will continue to disproportionately harm Black women around our Nation.

Now is the time when we should be building on progress, not continuing the pattern of neglect and disregard for our health and our lives. We must continue to invest in community-based care; diversify the maternal health workforce; address implicit bias in our healthcare system; and ensure that every woman, no matter her ZIP Code, has access to quality, affordable care.

The Congressional Black Caucus will continue to fight for policies that center equity, protect access, and save lives.

Black maternal health is about more than healthcare. It is about justice. It is about dignity. It is about whether this country is willing to value Black women the way that we deserve to be valued.

We will not stop until Black mothers are safe, supported, and able to thrive before, during, and after giving birth.

Mr. Speaker, let me add my voice to that of those who have thanked both Representative Gillen and, of course, Representative Pressley for their leadership and their stewardship in bringing us to this day.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on this day as just one out of many voices proclaiming that we will not stand idly by as 5,400 Haitian TPS holders in New York City and approximately 345,000 others across America who we have come to call our neighbors, friends, and loved ones are forced back to the same gang violence, exploitation, chaos, and instability that they once narrowly escaped with their lives.

As I stand here, I do so in diametric opposition to this administration, which knows full well of our Haitian neighbors' plight yet does not seek to alleviate their pain. Instead, they hope only to become an active participant in it.

That is because in the twisted, dystopian, political sphere that has been created by the Trump administration and its leadership, these are not innocent families and children struggling for freedom and yearning for any semblance of safety, but instead are nothing more than numbers to fuel their ever-cruel, forever-hungry deportation machine.

Since the moment they arrived in America, Haitian TPS holders have dedicated themselves to contributing to this Nation. They have built businesses, built families, and built up their communities. Through their undeniable strength of character and resilient spirit, they have become an inseparable part of our city and country's social fabric. If anyone would like an example of what it truly means to be a good and decent American, let's look towards Haitian Americans and the families up the street.

My colleagues and I have repeatedly urged the administration to extend protections for our most vulnerable neighbors at this most perilous time. Thus far, our call has gone unanswered.

If Donald Trump intends to continue this injustice by covering his ears and pretending we are silent, let this bipartisan discharge petition serve as a blaring beacon that even he cannot ignore.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to make the moral decision to pass this necessary humanitarian legislation, protect our Haitian neighbors from certain devastation, and vote ``yes'' on this resolution.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from South Carolina for his leadership and for yielding time to me.

I also thank Congressman Cleo Fields, who was an anchor of this evening's Congressional Black Caucus Special Order hour.

I am Representative Yvette D. Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, proudly representing New York's Ninth Congressional District.

I rise tonight with my colleagues of the Congressional Black Caucus to honor the enduring legacy of the late Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.

Today, we reaffirm our deep gratitude for his extraordinary contributions to American democracy and global human rights. For more than one-half century, Reverend Jackson stood on the front lines of the movement for justice, equality, and human dignity.

From marching alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., during the civil rights movement to building institutions that empowered millions, his life's work helped move our Nation closer to its founding ideals.

Through the founding of Operation PUSH and later the Rainbow Coalition, he built one of the most influential social justice movements in modern American history.

In 1984, Reverend Jackson broke barriers, running for the Democratic Presidential nomination and becoming the first African American to run and win in statewide primaries and caucuses, garnering over 3 million votes.

Through his historic Presidential campaigns and decades of organizing, Reverend Jackson helped break open doors for Black political power in this Nation, expanding the electorate, building multiracial coalitions, and paving the way for a new generation of Black elected leaders.

Many of us serving in Congress today walk paths that Reverend Jackson helped clear. He challenged America to live up to its highest ideals, pushed leaders to act with courage, and reminded the Nation that democracy works best when it works for everyone.

The Congressional Black Caucus honors his extraordinary contributions to this Nation and to humanity. His life stands as a testament to faith in action, courage in the face of adversity, and an unshakeable belief in the power of people coming together to build a more just society.

At a time when the powers that be seek to take our community backward, Reverend Jackson's leadership, moral clarity, and dedication to justice will be greatly missed.

Mr. Speaker, I had a familial obligation to tend to. Had I been present, I would have voted: NAY on Roll Call No. 105; NAY on Roll Call No. 106; NAY on Roll Call No. 107; and NAY on Roll Call No. 108.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Virginia for anchoring this evening's Congressional Black Caucus Special Order hour and for her diligence and commitment to sending the message of the CBC throughout this Nation.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today as chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Black Women & Girls to recognize Women's History Month and the countless contributions women have made to our Nation and to the world.

These 31 days offer a vital opportunity to honor women of every background for their achievements, which have too often been overlooked, celebrating the progress and rights secured by those who have paved the way.

Even as we celebrate, we must confront a difficult truth: many of the same barriers that our mothers and grandmothers fought to dismantle unfortunately persist today. Disparities in access to capital, education, opportunity, and power remain far too wide.

We cannot ignore the growing efforts to roll back hard-won rights. We cannot yield to forces that would usher in a future where the next generation of women has fewer freedoms than those who came before them.

This is not an exaggeration or hyperbole. Policies that undermine diversity, equity, and inclusion already having real consequences, including the displacement of over 300,000 Black women from the workforce on the basis of DEI dog whistles.

Let's be clear. These are not statistics. These are our mothers, daughters, entrepreneurs, and essential workers whose contributions are being shoved aside and whitewashed.

We know when Black women thrive, our communities thrive, our Nation thrives.

Women's History Month must also be a call to action and a moment to speak plainly about the threats to women's voting rights, bodily autonomy, and economic opportunities to support their families.

Mr. Speaker, we are not going back. We owe it to those who came before us and those who will follow to stand firm in defense of that progress.

Mr. Speaker, in the centennial year of Black History Month, I rise today as just one voice in the continuous and collective effort to celebrate the incomparable Congresswoman Shirley Anita Chisholm to the degree that she deserves.

For her legacy of justice and equality in Brooklyn, New York, and America, for the possibilities her very being opened to millions of Black women and girls, for never failing to live her American Dream out loud, I am proud to introduce my resolution that would result in a tribute worthy of her character and accomplishments: the permanent placement of her statue in the United States Capitol.

In this time of unprecedented attacks on the true story of our country, honoring Shirley Chisholm with a statue in the Halls of Congress would signal to the American people that this body is still committed to recognizing the defining figures of our history. We must show future generations that the progress of today did not appear by accident.

It took unrelenting passion, integrity, and dedication. It took leaders like Congresswoman Chisholm, who from her first day to the last remained unbought and unbossed.

I believe we have a moral mandate and a real opportunity here not just to examine racial inequalities that permeate every sector and segment of our society but the responsibility to reflect on how we got here, right here in these Halls.

Looking toward the faces in this room with me now, I can say with certainty that Shirley Chisholm's legacy is reflected in myself and the many colleagues of today.

Good evening, I am Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, proudly representing New York's Ninth Congressional District located in Brooklyn, New York.

I thank my colleagues--Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, a real champion for the people of Ohio, and Congressman Jim Clyburn, leadership extraordinaire--for co-anchoring this Congressional Black Caucus Special Order hour.

Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight with my colleagues of the Congressional Black Caucus to again commemorate the centennial of Black History Month and to reflect on the innumerable contributions to our country that Black Americans have made throughout our Nation's history.

Black History Month offers our community a time to celebrate our hidden figures and impactful heroes, including our Black veterans and servicemembers.

Today, we honor the generations of Black veterans whose courage, advocacy, sacrifice, and patriotism have moved our country and world forward.

Since our Nation's founding, our military has relied on Black Americans to answer the call to serve. Quite frankly, it occurred prior to our founding. From the Revolutionary War and Crispus Attucks to Harriet Tubman, spy, scout, nurse, and cook for the Union Army during the Civil War. From the Tuskegee Airmen, the valiant and courageous Red Tails, to the brilliant and extraordinary Six Triple Eight, Black women and men have always been on the front lines, standing for the values that make our Nation great.

With such a storied legacy of service to our Nation, it is unfortunate that racially discriminatory practices have for too long obstructed Black veterans from equally accessing veterans benefits, like housing, education, and healthcare.

From the denial of the GI Bill benefits, effectively shutting nearly 1.2 million Black veterans out of its promise, decades of discrimination have produced profound and lasting economic consequences for Black servicemembers and their families.

Today, Black veterans account for nearly a third of our Nation's unhoused veteran population, and Black veterans are nearly two times as likely to live in poverty.

These years of discriminatory practices against our Nation's Black veterans have only been compounded by this administration's recent actions within the Department of Defense. From eliminating equitable practices that benefit our diverse military leadership to creating a hostile environment that Black veterans have warned will deter a diverse population of prospective servicemembers, to removing evidence of the historical impacts of Black servicewomen and -men, this administration is committed to further marginalizing our Nation's heroes.

It is important that we never forget the unique history and contributions of our Nation's Black veterans.

As the conscience of the Congress, the Congressional Black Caucus refuses to allow the sacrifices of these patriotic Americans, Black Americans, to go unnoticed or to be erased.

We will never be able to fully repay our veterans, given the sacrifices they have made for our country, but as Congress, it is our responsibility to make sure we do all we can to ensure that they have what they need when they return home.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues of the Congressional Black Caucus for their commitment to supporting our

Nation's veterans and for recognizing the role that Black veterans play in American history and to this very day within our U.S. military.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New York, Mr. Adriano Espaillat, for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on this day in opposition to ICE, CBP, and any others that are added to this Federal militia that is supposed to be part of the administration of immigration in the United States of America. I also rise in remembrance of all those innocent lives its agents and enforcers have stolen.

For 1 painful year under the Trump administration, this rogue agency has engaged in an unrestrained crusade of cruelty against our migrant neighbors and the places they call home, all powered by the $85 billion and counting hand-delivered to them by Republicans in Congress and their overlord in the White House, all conducted with immunity granted not by law but by lawlessness.

ICE agents are in our streets, where they are out every day kidnapping, trafficking, torturing, and, indeed, even murdering immigrant Americans and American citizens in the cold and hidden recesses of their detention centers, where atrocities beyond our wildest nightmares are occurring without cessation.

I am speaking of atrocities like the death of Jean Wilson Brutus at the Delaney Hall Detention Center, who passed away from a medical event while under the careless and unconcerned watch of ICE.

The title of ICE's press release following the tragedy?

``Criminal illegal alien passes away at University Hospital following medical emergency at Delaney Hall Detention Facility.''

How callous. How sick.

In one sentence, these twisted individuals reveal the systemic rot and culture of inhumanity that is inherent in ICE operations.

It is heartbreaking to know that Mr. Brutus' death was not an isolated tragedy. There have been 45 deaths and counting under Donald Trump's tyranny.

In what moral nation would the penalty for seeking a better life for yourself or your neighbors be a terrible death?

In what decent society would the government deploy propaganda to convince the masses that its victims deserved their fate?

Catching an ICE agent in a bad mood should not warrant capital punishment. Being undocumented should not be a death sentence.

Hear me when I say that ICE is a rogue entity incapable of doing its duty and incapable of re-earning the public trust that it has betrayed. It is an existential danger to public safety, American decency, and the American Dream.

Mr. Speaker, if there is a single revelation to emerge from this abyss of wickedness, let it be that our immigration apparatus needs bold and systemic change, and may that change be a system centered in compassion, not cruelty; entrusted to competent officers, not kidnapping traffickers and killer thugs, and bent toward justice, not broken by ICE.

Mr. Speaker, I am Representative Yvette D. Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, proudly representing New York's Ninth Congressional District.

I thank my colleague, Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, for anchoring this Congressional Black Caucus Special Order hour.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today with my colleagues of the Congressional Black Caucus to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Black History Month and to reflect on the innumerable contributions to our country that Black Americans have made throughout our Nation's history.

During Black History Month, we celebrate the generations of Black Americans whose courage, advocacy, sacrifice, and patriotism have moved our Nation and the world forward.

From the American Revolutionary War to Reconstruction, the Great Migration, the success of Black Wall Street, the jazz age and the Harlem Renaissance, and the civil rights movement and beyond, there is no time in history that Black people have not contributed to the vitality and success of our country.

As chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, I am proud that as our caucus has grown from 13 visionary members in 1971 to a historic 62 members in 2026, we have continued fighting to dismantle barriers, create opportunities, and protect the rights of our communities.

Throughout our Nation's history, the CBC has been called to confront countless threats to our communities. Time and again, we have answered that call and stood in the breach on behalf of our communities and the values that make our Nation strong.

Today, under the shadow of the Trump administration, we are being called to yet another unprecedented and consequential time in the history of our country that we must address head-on.

The past year of President Trump's path of destruction has targeted our communities relentlessly. From purging the Federal Government of Black leaders and Black workers to removing the presence of Black stories and accomplishments from education and historical landmarks across the country, to launching volatile and violent campaigns against Black immigrants, the message from the administration to Black Americans has never been more clearer.

At any moment, the Supreme Court could strike down section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, putting our most basic and fundamental rights on the chopping block.

These threats have put Black America, once again, in a perilous position, but we are not powerless and will fight back. On the shoulders of our Founders, we will continue to push back against efforts to impede our progress, erase our history, and cut off access to opportunities in our communities.

We understand that the anti-DEI movement means anti-Black. This month and every month, we will continue to make clear that the contributions of Black Americans will not ever be erased, undermined, or undone. We will continue fighting for access to the ballot, fair representation, and our fundamental freedoms, which are under threat each and every day.

Our history, Black history, is American history.

Mr. Speaker, I am Representative Yvette D. Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, proudly representing New York's Ninth Congressional District in central and south Brooklyn.

I thank Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan for anchoring this Congressional Black Caucus Special Order hour.

Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight with my colleagues of the Congressional Black Caucus to commemorate the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King held an unyielding belief that women and men everywhere, regardless of color or creed, are equal. He used the power of words and the example of nonviolent resistance to bring us closer to racial and economic justice.

Dr. King was a man of courage, principles, and faith. We are forever in his debt. Today, his example inspires us all toward our highest ideals as Americans. As we gather to honor the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an American hero and patriot, we are keenly aware of the pivotal moment in history in which we stand and of the forces actively working to undermine his life's work.

At a time when the most vulnerable communities in our Nation are under relentless attack, the Congressional Black Caucus continues to uphold Dr. King's legacy, rooted in justice, fairness, and equity for all.

Today, ironically, also marks the 1-year anniversary of the Trump administration. As we reflect on the damage that this administration has inflicted on communities across this Nation, we call on our colleagues across the aisle to honor the teachings and philosophy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and to work with us to reject the hateful agenda that has taken hold.

Dr. King devoted his life to reminding us that silence in the face of injustice is not an option. As he so powerfully said: ``Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.''

The Congressional Black Caucus refuses to remain silent in the face of the pain this administration inflicts on the American people, from the assaults on voting rights with the looming Louisiana v. Callais decision before the Supreme Court, to deepening economic inequality, to the threats against our Nation's healthcare.

Today, we are recommitting ourselves to the fight of keeping Dr. King's dream and his mission alive.
