Abortion Care as a Human Right

Source-published biography

Ayanna is co-chair of the Abortion Access Task Force and has co-led legislation, now passed twice in the House, to protect and restore access to abortion care nationwide. Abortion care is healthcare and an essential human right. Ayanna has continued to organize, legislate, and push back against the cruel attempts to tear away bodily autonomy and necessary healthcare. She has also successfully expanded access to abortion medications and birth control and worked closely with the Secretary of Health and Human services to use every tool available to protect families and providers who need abortion care. Everyone in this nation should have access to the care they need.

Education for All

Source-published biography

Ayanna believes in competitive wages for our public school teachers and education justice for all our students. That’s why she has worked in partnership with the teachers’ unions to press for safe working conditions, better pay, and the respect our teachers deserve. She has introduced legislation to address head-on the barriers our students – especially Black girls – face when it comes to discrimination and criminalization in our schools.

Fighting for a Just Economy

Candidate position

Ayanna has introduced Federal Job Guarantee legislation that would make good wages, strong benefits, union protections, and safe working conditions a legal right in America. Funded by the federal government and implemented locally, in partnership with communities, federal job guarantee projects would provide public jobs for all adults seeking employment – because the people deserve true economic justice.

Addressing the Impact of Violence and Trauma

Candidate position

As a survivor of sexual violence, Ayanna understands, on a personal level, the lasting challenges associated with trauma. For communities disproportionately impacted by violence – including Black, brown, Latinx, and Indigenous communities, women and girls, the LGBTQIA+ community, and immigrant families – the collective impact of violence-related trauma can lead to severe inequities in health outcomes, educational progress, and economic opportunity. We must be intentional about shining a light on the experiences that lead to trauma and the ongoing challenges it creates, and about pursuing specific policies that address its root causes and create pathways to justice and healing. Ayanna convened the first ever Oversight hearing in Congress about childhood trauma and worked to successfully pass legislation to support trauma survivors – from surviving family members of homicide victims, to those impacted by horrific violent events like the Boston Marathon attack.

Housing as a Human Right

Candidate position

Safe, affordable housing is a fundamental human right, and a critical determinant of health outcomes, economic opportunity, and social mobility. But as rising housing costs dramatically outpace wages and the federal government systematically disinvests from public housing, safe, stable housing remains out of reach for far too many – and disproportionately low-income communities and communities of color, who bear the brunt of decades of inequitable development practices and discriminatory policies like redlining.

Transforming Our Criminal Legal System

Candidate position

For years, policymakers, advocates, and community members have known that our criminal legal system disproportionately punishes Black and brown people – from the failed war on drugs to mass incarceration, to cash bail and the perverse incentive of a for-profit prison industry – yet we have seen too little progress made towards addressing these inequities. To meaningfully address the legacy of these destructive policies, Ayanna knows we must completely reimagine our racist, xenophobic, and fundamentally broken criminal legal system, and construct a new system that is centered on the principles of shared power, freedom, safety, equality, and human dignity. Ayanna has introduced the People’s Justice Guarantee, a bold framework and vision for a more just criminal legal system, to move us closer toward the yet unfulfilled promise of justice for all. Ayanna has advocated for an end to the federal death penalty and secured a commitment from President Biden that no one will be executed by the federal government as long as he is President.

Standing Up Against Hate and Violence

Candidate position

In the face of attacks on their most basic rights and freedoms, Ayanna has stood with our neighbors who have been marginalized and targeted. She proudly advocated for the Equality Act and introduced a long overdue bill, the Credit Reporting Accuracy After a Legal Name Change Act, that would prevent deadnaming our trans neighbors on their credit reports, improving accuracy in reporting, and increasing financial access for our trans neighbors.

Foreign Policy Centered on Empathy and the Pursuit of Peace

Candidate position

In confronting critical, complex challenges in Russia, the Middle East, Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and in nations around the world, we must operate from a frame of equity and justice – that prioritizes coalition-building and supporting those on the ground in regions most impacted, and that considers military action to be an absolute last resort. As the Representative of a district that is 40 percent foreign-born, Ayanna knows that the foreign policy decisions we make don’t only affect people abroad, but their families and communities right here in the Massachusetts 7th.

Tackling Entrenched Healthcare Disparities

Candidate position

Ayanna believes we need Medicare For All to ensure that every person in our country has consistent access to essential care. We need to improve health outcomes for communities that are simultaneously impacted by health disparities and overlooked in our national conversations around healthcare access. We need to continue to invest in community health centers. And we need to keep advocating and legislating for an equitable public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, that includes those suffering from Long COVID.

Imagining the Future of Transportation

Candidate position

Ensuring that all residents have access to safe, reliable, and efficient transit options is critical to protecting communities in the Massachusetts 7th and beyond. Our transportation infrastructure connects residents to opportunities and essential services like jobs, school, child care, the grocery store, the hospital, recreational activities, and more. But this opportunity is not equitably distributed across our communities. We have an opportunity to reimagine what the future of our transportation system can and must look like – one that prioritizes community-led innovation, clean energy, sustainability, and multi-modal transportation projects. As co-chair of the Future of Transportation caucus, Ayanna will continue to advocate for federal transit investments and policies that help us meet this moment, and press for safe public transit for everyone who calls this District home.

Standing Up Against Hate and Violence

Candidate position

Ayanna has consistently stood up against the rise in violent white supremacy across the nation. One of her first hearings as a member of Congress addressed this head on. She has pressed for accountability and action at the federal level to protect our democracy and to save lives. Ayanna knows that our destinies are tied and the violent rhetoric and actions targeting Black Americans, AAPI folks, the Jewish community, and the Muslim community are rooted in deeply hateful rhetoric that seeks to divide us and undermine the diverse coalition of neighbors working to advance progress for all of us. Following the harrowing events of January 6th, 2021, Ayanna immediately took action to address what unfolded that day, as well as the vast network of organized white supremacy, antisemitism, and islamophobia that threatens all of our communities.

Energy, technology, and environment

Candidate position

The climate crisis is here and our environmental justice communities are already, disproportionately, on the frontlines. We must take a comprehensive, justice-centered approach to addressing the challenges posed by climate change – one that recognizes the role entrenched disparities play in creating disproportionate climate risk, outcomes, and resilience. Ayanna knows it’s time for a Green New Deal, developed in partnership with communities most impacted, to fundamentally transform our political and economic systems, prioritize the preservation of our planet, mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, and help our communities adapt, prepare, and build a more resilient future.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
