Throughout her time in Congress, Rep. Omar has fiercely advocated for progressive ideas, including affordable housing, healthcare reform, criminal justice reform, and universal free school lunch for children. She remains a bold and constant critic of outdated, elitist, and unjust policies and laws, particularly those targeting immigrants, refugees, and people of color.
Rep. Omar’s commitment to justice and equity is evident in her support for increasing educational and economic opportunities for all people. She has been a champion for the rights of women and marginalized communities. She has spoken out against Islamophobia and other forms of bigotry while being a target of it herself.
Full of grace, Rep. Omar is a true trailblazer and leader whose energetic spirit persists in facing every obstacle the status quo throws at her to achieve success and positively impact this world for Black women and everyone else. Rep. Omar gladly shoulders the same burden of fending for justice that the ancestors bore, with the same magnetism and fire she was born within her bones. Her courage, resilience, and determination inspire Black women and others everywhere, and her work continues to shape the future of our politics and society.

Honoring Assata Olugbala Shakur
The United States government cornered her, framed her, caged her, made her a fugitive, then

our grandfathers.

Trump’s Racist Police Occupation of Black Cities: The People Must Fight Back
The occupation of Washington, DC by militarized troops at the behest of a racist, fascist Trump regime is the full-on declaration of war on Black people in America. While some “Black faces in high places” are complicit, becoming proxies for the colonizer, it is ultimately the power of the people that will defeat the oppressor. In DC, this is the long-held work of the #FreeDC movement and Black Washingtonians who have always resisted, never submitting to their own oppression.
