With your partnership, we can make progress on our visionary agenda in the coming year, including:

• COVID relief that puts money directly in the pockets of all our neighbors. People need ongoing, direct relief in order to survive this crisis—including undocumented residents of this country. Back in May, I introduced the ABC Act to give people monthly payments through issuing debit cards (which can come pre-loaded and get updated each month) rather than checks, in order to include the 25% of people who are unbanked and underbanked. Since then, we’ve watched as banks and corporations get bailouts, but our families keep getting left behind. We can’t wait any longer.

• Ensuring that water is a human right. I’m going to keep pushing for the right to clean drinking water. This year I introduced and passed the Emergency Water is a Human Right Act in the U.S. House, which would guarantee access to water by prohibiting water shutoffs, mandating water reconnections, and helping low-income households pay their water bills. And I introduced and passed historic amendments that would provide $23 billion to fully replace dangerous lead pipes, protecting our kids from poisonous exposure.

• Abolishing ICE and ending our government’s human rights abuses against immigrants. We’re going to continue calling on the UN for independent investigations into the horrific human rights violations that people have reported within the Department of Homeland Security, ranging from mass forced hysterectomies of immigrant women to torturing Cameroonian asylum seekers to force them to sign their own deportation orders.

• Taking on corporate greed and addressing environmental racism. I represent the most polluted zip code in Michigan, where predominantly Black people were already dealing with high rates of asthma and other respiratory conditions before the pandemic, due to a high concentration of corporations that have polluted our air and water for profit. In partnership with the environmental justice community working group we created in our district, I’m going to keep fighting back against these abuses and holding corporate polluters accountable across the country.

• Reimagining public safety and repairing the harm done by the criminal legal system. I’m proud to support the visionary BREATHE Act from the Movement For Black Lives’ Electoral Justice Project, which would divest our federal taxpayer dollars from brutal and discriminatory policing and invest in a new vision of public safety that centers healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities.

• Addressing our country’s housing crisis. This year, we secured $25 million in funding for housing repairs and revitalization, as well as homeownership and financing assistance to low-income households. We must continue this push next year, while addressing the institutionalized discrimination that’s caused our housing affordability crisis. Before the pandemic, Black homeownership nationwide fell to the lowest rate in nearly 50 years—with the worst losses in Michigan—largely due to the persistence of mortgage lending redlining.

• Restoring and expanding our country’s most important civil rights laws. We’re going to continue to push for the Justice for All Act, historic legislation that pushes back against decades of conservative court rulings to restore the original intent of our civil rights laws. If passed, it would combat intentional and unintentional discrimination against people based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, age, or national origin—and it would clarify the definition of “sex” to include sexual orientation, pregnancy, gender identity, sex stereotypes, or any sex-related traits. Because no matter how you identify, our civil rights laws must protect you.

• Lifting people out of poverty. Our survival should not be tied to our jobs or our ability to work, so I introduced the BOOST Act last year to provide a guaranteed income to low- or no-income Americans, which would instantly lift 45% of people out of poverty.
