One year ago this month, Ayanna was sworn into the 117th Congress for her
second term in the U.S. House of Representatives!
Over the past year, Ayanna has continued to work day in and day out to
address the hurt and harm in our communities and lay the groundwork for an
equitable pandemic response that leaves no worker, no family, and no
community behind — and your support is so powerful in fueling this
critical work.
Now that Ayanna is halfway through her second term, we thought it would be
the perfect time to share our collective accomplishments from 2021, and
what you’re supporting when you contribute to our campaign.

your first
$3 contribution right now.
Here are some highlights of what Ayanna and our movement accomplished in
2021:
* Introduced and co-led 54 pieces of bold legislation to address our
nation’s greatest challenges — including bills to combat the crisis of
childhood trauma, abolish the federal death penalty, codify abortion
rights for all, address homelessness, protect tenants in public
housing, cancel student debt, reduce the racial wealth gap, and more!
* Passed the American Rescue Plan, which delivered billions in flexible
state funds for Massachusetts and direct aid to our communities —
including funding for community health centers, support for those
experiencing homelessness, and emergency relief for homeowners and
renters.
* Delivered a historic expansion of the Child Tax Credit, which has
lifted millions of children out of poverty across the country,
including 11,000 children in the MA-07.
* Succeeded in extending the student loan repayment pause through May 1,
2022, which will help millions of families make ends meet in the midst
of an ongoing pandemic and pandemic-induced economic crisis.
* Passed the Build Back Better Act out of the House — which would invest
trillions of dollars in affordable housing, community violence
prevention, and child, home, and community-based care, extend the
Child Tax Credit, enact paid family and medical leave, drastically
lower the costs of prescription drugs, combat climate change, provide
critical protections for our immigrant neighbors, and so much more.
* Delivered tens of millions of dollars in federal funding for
transportation and community projects.
* Passed the Women’s Health Protection Act out of the House, a major
step towards codifying reproductive freedom.
* Led our first-ever deep canvassing efforts, engaging voters across the
MA-07 to talk about student debt cancellation. We hosted 16
deep-canvassing trainings and phone banks, and spoke with more than
100 people across the district to advance our grassroots movement to
cancel student debt.
* Made meaningful progress in our fight to abolish the federal death
penalty. This summer, the Department of Justice announced a moratorium
on federal executions, and President Biden gave Ayanna his word that
no one would be executed by the federal government under his watch.
Ayanna is advocating and legislating to make bold progress on issues of
consequence for all of our communities — work that wouldn’t be possible
without your support, partnership, and activism.
This year, we’re going to continue to strengthen our progressive movement
and keep up the fight for a brighter future for folx in the Massachusetts
7th and beyond, and we need you with us.
