This is the next big test for progressives

Leading with moral clarity is not a political risk. Last month, Summer Lee decisively won her primary against a billionaire, AIPAC-backed opponent. This was the first chance the powerful Israel lobby saw to make an example out of progressives who had been calling for a ceasefire. Right wing …

Reaffirming our call for a ceasefire

Every day that we do not de-escalate the region, more lives are put at risk. Last week I shared with you about the sense of community I witnessed at peaceful protests on college campuses in Massachusetts — and how misinformation and outside agitators are undermining this movement for peace. …

My thoughts on the student protests across the country:

I am deeply concerned about misinformation that aims to undermine this movement. I’ve been able to visit and speak with student organizers who are leading peaceful protests on college campuses in Massachusetts. What I’ve seen and heard about is a sense of community — with interfaith prayer, m…

Our re-election campaign is about fighting for policies that are must-haves

What we’re fighting for: Have you seen this article? When Massachusetts 7th elected me to Congress, I was a newcomer. Pundits called me an outsider in my own party after defeating a 10-term incumbent, becoming the first Black woman to represent Massachusetts in Congress. Six years late…

I hope to see you tonight Summer Lee’s primary election is tomorrow, and we need all hands on deck to turn out as many voters as possible. This election will be close: Summer’s opponent is being funded by a Republican billionaire who wants to unseat her. The stakes are high, so we need the f…

Help restore and protect abortion rights in Arizona
