Congressional Black Caucus (CBC)

The Conscience of the Congress since 1971 ✊🏿. Advocating for issues important to Black Americans.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision was a direct attack on Black political power and fair representation in America.

Republicans are scrambling to rig congressional maps in their favor because they know the only way they can hold onto power is by cheating.

We’re not backing down—we’re fighting back.

[James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn]

It’s clear Trump is bored with the real job of being President.

Things presidents are supposed to do—like bringing down costs—he calls “a big yawn.”

Instead, he’s obsessed with the “SAVE America Act” because he thinks he needs it to SAVE himself from accountability.

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

Trump and Republicans want to deport 350,000 Haitians while Haiti is literally on the State Department’s “do not travel” list because it’s too dangerous. That’s not policy — it’s hypocrisy and cruelty. I'll keep fighting to keep our Haitian neighbors safe.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

Today, the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s unconstitutional attack on birthright citizenship.

For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has guaranteed that everyone born in the United States is an American citizen. Today’s decision reaffirms that constitutional promise and rejects efforts to rewrite it.

This victory matters—but the fight to protect our rights, our Constitution, and equal justice under the law is far from over.

As #Pride Month comes to a close, we celebrate the courage, resilience, and joy of LGBTQ+ people—especially Black queer people, whose leadership, creativity, and advocacy have helped move our communities and our country forward. 

While we honor the progress we've made, we remain committed to a future where everyone can live authentically, safely, and with dignity, without fear for themselves, their families, or their ability to live freely.

Happy Pride this month, and every month.

[Congressional Equality Caucus @EqualityCaucus]

Today, tomorrow, always:

Pride is a protest.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

Today’s decision affirms a fundamental constitutional principle that has defined our nation for generations: every child born in the United States is a citizen of the United States.

[Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly]

Chicago does not need empty threats from Donald Trump. Our city needs real action.

Restore funding for violence intervention programs. Reopen the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Stop making it easier for illegal guns to reach our communities.

Lives depend on it.

[Rep. Terri A. Sewell @RepTerriSewell]

The Supreme Court made the right decision today by blocking Trump's illegal attempt to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. I continue to stand with her as she fights this bogus case.

The Federal Reserve must be able to make decisions based on what's best for the American people—not the whims of any one president. This ruling is a victory for the independence of the Federal Reserve, the rule of law, and every American who wants a stable economy and lower costs.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

Every eligible American should be able to vote without unnecessary trouble!

Mailed ballots or in person ballots should all count!

A vote should be a vote!

[Rep. Terri A. Sewell @RepTerriSewell]

Great news! The Supreme Court just rejected one of Trump's many attempts to suppress the vote. This is a big win for voting rights and the ability of voters to make their voices heard.

We will continue fighting back against Trump's voter suppression agenda!

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

This is important.

The Supreme Court has ruled that states CAN count mail ballots that are sent by Election Day but arrive late.

Small but significant victory in our battle against this administration’s all out war against your right to vote.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

Our democracy is strongest when every voice is heard.

Today, in a 5–4 decision, the Supreme Court rejected Republicans' latest attempt to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of eligible voters. No voter should lose their voice because of postal delays beyond their control.

This is a clear victory for our democracy, but Republicans are hellbent on tilting elections in their favor because they can't win on their failed policies.

The fight for free and fair elections continues.

[ABC News @ABC]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has upheld state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail-in ballots even if they were postmarked by Election Day. https://t.co/4VoBijDc7V

Statement in response to recent comments regarding House Democratic leadership by Sen. Elissa Slotkin:

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

Today’s Supreme Court ruling on Temporary Protected Status puts hundreds of thousands of Haitians at risk of deportation.

The Senate must act now to pass legislation protecting Haitian TPS holders from the Trump Administration’s cruel and callous decision to terminate TPS. Lives are on the line.

[Progressive Caucus @USProgressives]

We will use every tool available to "defend voting rights and ensure all communities have a voice." @RepYvetteClarke

[Progressive Caucus @USProgressives]

We're demanding reforms to restore voting rights, end the filibuster, and reform the Supreme Court.

This week the Progressive Caucus joined the @TheBlackCaucus, @HispanicCaucus, and @CAPAC with new demands.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

WATCH: House Democrats hold a hearing on defending the right to vote in the aftermath of the Callais decision and standing against Republican threats to free and fair elections.

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

BREAKING: Trump’s co-conspirators in the Supreme Court just ended Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians.

We’re at the Supreme Court because we’re not sitting idly by. Tune in now:

[Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan @RepMcClellan]

Four years ago, the Supreme Court ripped away the constitutional right to an abortion by overturning Roe v. Wade. Today, 1 in 3 women now live in states with abortion bans or extreme restrictions.

As a state senator, I passed the Reproductive Health Protection Act to make Virginia a safe haven for abortion access in the South. Now, as Chair of the @ReproCaucus Abortion Rights and Access Task Force, I’m fighting to ensure that no matter where you live, the decision of when, whether and how to become a parent is yours — and that you can access the reproductive health care you need, when you need it, without interference from politicians.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

Black women face the highest maternal mortality rates in the U.S.

Four years after the Supreme Court overturned half a century of constitutional protection for abortion access, barriers to reproductive care continue to deepen a maternal health crisis that disproportionately impacts Black women.

Today, 44% of women of reproductive age—and more than half of Black women of reproductive age—live in states with abortion bans or severe restrictions.

Reproductive health care is health care. Everyone deserves the freedom to make their own medical decisions without political interference.

[Reproductive Freedom Caucus @ReproCaucus]

Four years.

Every day since #Dobbs has only reminded us of the urgency & the stakes of our fight.

Today, we honor those harmed and lost because politicians stood between them & their health care. And we vow to keep fighting for a more just tomorrow.

Reproductive Freedom Now.
