Rep. Lucy McBath

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 As a proud member of the Equality Caucus, I'm working alongside my colleagues in Congress to defend the LGBTQI+ community’s rights.

Pride is about more than rainbows or parades—it’s a reminder of both how far we have come and the work we must still take on.

This Gun Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, we remember every life stolen by gun violence and stand with the families forever changed by these tragedies.

I honor my son, Jordan, and every victim by putting forth common-sense solutions that save lives.

May is Older Americans Month. This week, I was privileged to spend time with so many senior residents across our district to hear their concerns and make sure they know my office is here to assist with federal issues.

After a lifetime of hard work, every American deserves the dignity of a secure retirement. Whether it was at a fish fry, a community center, or an art show comprised of senior artists, I want to thank every person who took the time to share feedback with me this week. Know that I am taking your concerns—and your aspirations—back to Washington.

Today, we remember and honor the fallen. The sacrifices they made for our freedom can never be repaid, only remembered with profound gratitude. We hold their memory in our hearts.

Veterans are far more likely to die by firearm su***de than the average American, yet this bill removes safeguards from the background check system with no regard for their safety. I stand with my colleagues against this dangerous change.

Once again in America, a faith community has been devastated by gun violence. My heart is with the victims of the senseless shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, their families, and all those across the country who are grieving what appears to be an anti-Muslim attack.

Weapons of war do not belong in places of worship. We must work harder than ever to confront the hatred and bigotry which led to this tragedy. This violence must stop.

Today, we celebrate 61 years of Head Start and the more than 40 million children and families it has served, including right here in Georgia’s 6th District. Strong communities start with strong foundations, and Head Start makes that possible.
