We’re already a quarter of the way into the year, folks! The 2024 election is heating up, so we want to celebrate all that Yvette has accomplished since 2022:
Protecting our civil rights in the digital realm
Rep. Clarke created the Anti-Digital Redlining Act, which led to the FCC adopting rules to prevent digital discrimination of access to broadband services based on income level, race, ethnicity, color, religion, or national origin
Combatting mis-, dis-, and mal-information
She introduced the DEEPFAKES Accountability Act (HR 5586), creating a private right of action for victims to sue deepfake creators and more safeguards against this kind of dangerous digitally altered content
A voice in Congress for Black migrants
Along with working on extensive legislation, Rep. Clarke has led several letters urging the administration to prioritize much-needed relief for immigrant communities, particularly those from African and Caribbean diasporas
Equity in healthcare
Much of Rep Clarke’s work has been addressing the disparities facing underserved communities and populations; she introduced legislation such as H.R. 1072, the Health Center Community Transformation Hub Act, which would authorize specialized grants to community health centers (CHCs) for the purpose of implementing community transformation hubs
Yvette Clarke is the ONLY Black woman representing New York in Washington. She has a known track record of bringing together moderates and progressives to pass progressive legislation to help communities of color, low-income families, immigrants, and more.
