[1]Ayanna Pressley
Ayanna was just recognized on The Nation’s 2019 Progressive Honor Roll,
alongside other dynamic leaders and organizations like District Attorney
Rachael Rollins and the Sunrise Movement!
Check out what The Nation had to say about Ayanna and our movement:
Elected in 2018, Pressley hit the ground running with innovative and
courageous demands for think-big changes. The Massachusetts Democrat has
worked closely with [Representative Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez and
Representative Barbara Lee to overturn the 43-year-old Hyde Amendment,
which bars using federal funds for abortions. “Hyde’s days are
numbered,” Pressley says. “Tick-tock, y’all.”
She responded to Attorney General Bill Barr’s plan to resume federal
capital punishment by introducing a sweeping abolition measure. Last
March she proposed an amendment to lower the federal election voting age
to 16. The amendment received 126 votes to add it to the For the People
Act—not enough to pass, but Pressley isn’t backing off.
“From gun violence to climate change, our young people are organizing,
mobilizing, and calling us to action,” she says. “They are at the
forefront of social and legislative movements and have earned inclusion
in our democracy.”
This honor — and the fights Ayanna takes on in Washington — wouldn’t be
possible without you; thank you for being an integral part of our movement
for justice and equity. Together we are going to continue to organize and
make real change for communities across our country.
