ALT "The Trump Administration's harmful executive orders rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are an affront to all of us. Diversity is our strength and everyone who calls this country home deserves to thrive.   “These programs and the dedicated employees who administer them are deeply necessary to ensure government works for everyone in America, which is why I worked closely with the Biden-Harris Administration and then-Ranking Member Raskin to center equity and justice in every administrative policy decision across federal agencies.

ALT “It is a fact that systemic oppression codified in our laws and budgets has harmed women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, those with disabilities and other underserved communities in this country.   “Rather than advance cruel and callous policies that undermine progress, I invite Republicans to change course and work with us in advancing legislation that actually helps people from all walks of life."
