I voted for the Iran War Powers Resolution.

For over 90 days, the Trump administration has waged war on Iran without a defined exit strategy or congressional authorization, dragging our country further into Trump’s self-declared war of choice and a deepening financial crisis.

Requiring proof of intent to discriminate in states with documented histories of racial voter suppression is not legal interpretation. It is judicial activism and willful blindness.

Congressional oversight exists to serve the public good, not to strong arm universities and police students' political opinions.

This Farm Bill hurts farmers and consumers and it fails to address the current problems facing our farms.

[Rep. Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. @RepAdams]

This Farm Bill is just about Punishing Poor People. Call your member of Congress and let them know it's a BAD BILL.

Food assistance is getting cut for those who need it. Costs of fertilizer, equipment, fuel, and labor are rising, tariffs are swinging up and down, crop prices are weak, and farms are going under.

The Congressional Mamas’ Caucus partnered with Mothering Justice and the Ariah Foundation to create the In Her Honor portrait series to recognize the women of color that have died due to maternal health complications. Their names and stories demand action.

[Rep. Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. @RepAdams]

The portrait of April Valentine outside my office honors a young mother who lost her life to an untreated blood clot during pregnancy.

The CDC has recognized that 80% of maternal deaths are preventable, and Black women are disproportionately affected.

[Rep. Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. @RepAdams]

Today, I introduced a resolution to recognize April 11 to April 17 as Black Maternal Health Week with Congresswoman Lauren Underwood and Senator Cory Booker.
