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.
Thank you for being a part of our squad!
— The A-Team
