The Supreme Court’s latest decision is a step backward for voting rights and fair representation. Every American deserves an equal voice at the ballot box. I stand with civil rights leaders calling for action to protect voters and uphold our democracy. Read: https://t.co/baq6K0Kctr

Today, I proudly celebrate the 50th anniversary of Prison Fellowship, Second Chance Month, and the introduction of the Second Chance Month Resolution. Second chances help individuals rebuild their lives, strengthen families, and make communities safer.

Today, we honor Dr. King not with words, but with service. As we face renewed attacks on our democracy, we remember that progress is never inevitable. Let’s organize and recommit to the "Beloved Community" he envisioned.

This week, I fought to hold HHS accountable for illegally halting $10 b for child care & services in IL, MN, CA, CO, & NY and child care funds across the US. The GOP rejected my effort to penalize HHS’s illegal actions. Thank you AG Raoul for suing to stop the cruel GOP efforts.

[Rep. Danny K. Davis @RepDannyDavis]

Thousands of children and families are being harmed out of political revenge. It’s unpresidential and un-American, yet HHS has illegally stopped $1 b of our funds.

HHS must immediately release the $1 b in child care and social services funding that our state is rightfully owed.

ACA Extension: Today’s victory proves a simple truth: when Democrats stay unified, listen to the people, & remain focused on results, we win. A people united will never be defeated. Democrats are on a roll! We are fighting for ordinary, everyday Americans.

[Rep. Danny K. Davis @RepDannyDavis]

Congressman Danny Davis: I have no respect for authoritarian rule, anywhere.
President Trump does not get to decide war, choose foreign leaders, or bypass Congress.
That’s not democracy. That’s executive overreach.

Wishing all my constituents a peaceful holiday season. It remains a distinct honor to serve as your Representative in Congress. May the spirit of community stay with you and your families throughout the coming year.

The U.S. Department of Justice's opinion declaring Minority Serving Institution programs unconstitutional denies both the constitutionality and the necessity of targeted efforts designed to expand educational access for historically marginalized communities.

I’m joining my Democratic colleagues to demand House Republicans vote NOW to extend ACA tax credits. GOP inaction means health insurance premiums will skyrocket on Jan 1. We need a clean extension today to keep healthcare affordable. 📉🏥 #Healthcare #ACA

I am deeply honored to have received a Hill Champion award from the National Minority AIDS Council. We must continue to sustain and grow federal funding for HIV prevention, treatment, research, and community engagement.

Antisemitic violence at Bondi Beach and the tragedy at Brown University are attacks on our democratic values. Hate has no place in our democracy. Congressman Danny K. Davis remains committed to protecting civil rights and keeping our communities safe.

[Rep. Danny K. Davis @RepDannyDavis]

Seventy years ago, the Montgomery Bus Boycott ignited a new chapter in the Civil Rights Movement. Today, we salute the courage of those activists and recommit ourselves to the ongoing fight for justice and equality.

[Rep. Danny K. Davis @RepDannyDavis]
