Congresswoman Lateefah Simon
@replsimon
Last summer, the VA abruptly stopped 2 projects that would’ve expanded access to healthcare & services for veterans in the Bay Area. I immediately joined @pelosi.house.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and @padilla.senate.gov to demand answers from the Administration. After months of fighting, we got a WIN.

Building communities where our babies, elders, families are safe is a top priority. That starts with resources, which is why I am so proud to present over $1 million in federal Community Project Funding to the City of Oakland's Department of Violence Prevention for Operation Ceasefire-Lifeline.
I joined @seiu.org to protest Republicans' latest reconciliation bill which includes $350 billion more for Trump's immigration enforcement machine. Democrats have been successful in withholding funding for ICE, so Republicans are trying to abuse the reconciliation process to push ICE $ through.
Two incredible women, Mayor Lee and Councilwoman Ramachandran from CA-12 joined me to wish you a happy Women's History Month and to honor the women who came before us.
Care work is the quiet engine of this country. As co-chair of @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Caregiving Task Force, I am proud to join my colleagues to introduce a Congressional Resolution designating April as "Care Workers Recognition Month" to commit ourselves to caring for those who care for us.
It was wonderful to join Dr. Pineda & the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley to celebrate their 54th anniversary and be with so many leaders, activists, and mentors. The CIL's work and partnership has been invaluable for me as I continue the long fight for disability justice in Congress.
Today, on the House Floor, I honored Oakland's own Olympic figure skating champion and GOLD MEDALIST, Alysa Liu. You carry the heart and spirit of Oakland everywhere you go - we are so proud of you. Congratulations, Alysa on your incredible accomplishments - and for doing it on your terms.
It is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Adan, our CA-12 App Challenge winner from Oakland! He gave me a demo of his winning app called "StayReady" and told me a bit about the process of building an app. Adan, I cannot wait to see all that you do, you have a bright future ahead of you!
I am proud to represent a beautiful tapestry of communities from all different backgrounds. Our cities were built and are sustained every single day by immigrants, yet the Trump Admin is trying to restrict access to Small Biz Administration resources with bigotry fueled citizenship requirements.
This week, I introduced the Crime Survivor Support and Stability Act. This legislation was developed in partnership with my colleague @repemiliasykes.bsky.social and incredible community partners like @only1tinisch.bsky.social with Californians for Safety and Justice.
Happy Small Business Week, Oakland! More than 85% of all businesses are small businesses in the Town. Small businesses are not the exception - they *are* our economy. I was honored to join Mayor Lee & the City of Oakland's Economic and Workforce Development Department to celebrate small businesses.
