More than half of all applications for U.S. visas from African students were denied in 2022, part of a years-long pattern of sky-high refusal rates in a part of the world seen as the next big thing in international admissions https://t.co/CrvvmRoaKS

This week on At Liberty, we’re discussing the new Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which went into effect last month.

No worker should have to sacrifice a health pregnancy for a paycheck — and PWFA works to make that a reality.

We can all feel it: D.C just isn’t getting things done for people.

We need representatives who'll take on special interests, get money out of politics, and make our government work for all of us.

That’s why today, I’m announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate in Michigan! ✊🏾
