Rep. Lucy McBath

I am honored to receive the 2026 @congressfdn Best of Bipartisan Collaboration Award. Thank you to our staff and colleagues whose partnership and commitment to effective governance made this recognition possible. #DemocracyAwards

I recently celebrated Georgia Pre-K Week by joining two reading events at Sheltering Arms Longview Center and Chattahoochee YMCA Head Start Academy. Thank you to the educators and caregivers investing in our youngest learners every day. Georgia’s future starts with them!

In the last year, TSA officers have been forced to work 88 days without on-time payment. Now, leadership has taken away their chairs. It's not just about the chairs—it's about respect for every person on the job. I'm proud to lead House Dems in urging TSA to reverse its decision.

Domestic violence affects millions of people across our country, leaving lasting impacts on survivors, families, and communities. This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I’m joining survivors and advocates in calling for action and change. Together, we can build safer communities.

As a two-time breast cancer survivor, Breast Cancer Awareness Month will always be close to my heart. I’ll continue fighting for more affordable, accessible health care and lifesaving breakthroughs. To every fighter and survivor: you are not alone. I stand with you.

My heart is with Vienna, Georgia. When violence comes to a small town, everyone knows someone who was lost, someone who was hurt, someone who is grieving. I am thinking of every family, friend, and first responder today. These tragedies cannot continue.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Join me during this time to honor the generations whose hard work, culture, and resilience have built America’s story.

Wishing a happy and sweet new year and a meaningful Rosh Hashanah to the Jewish community in Georgia’s 6th District and around the world. May the year ahead be filled with peace, joy, and new beginnings.

On the 25th anniversary of September 11, we pause to remember the lives lost and honor the heroes who risked everything to save others. We will never forget their courage, their sacrifice, or the resilience that carried our nation forward.

This Labor Day, we honor the workers who keep our nation moving and make our communities stronger. Today is a reminder to continue fighting for fair wages, safe workplaces, and the dignity every worker deserves.

Congratulations to Congresswoman Analilia Mejia (NJ-11) and Congressman Everton Blair (GA-13) on being sworn in to the Congressional Black Caucus. Georgia and New Jersey are so lucky to have you. Your leadership will strengthen the work of the CBC and the communities you serve.

Dolly Parton embodied the spirit of our country and the best in all of us. Her immense philanthropic work, especially for children’s health and education, will continue to shape generations. From the Imagination Library to her quiet acts of giving, her legacy will endure. She will be sorely missed.

As students across Georgia’s 6th District head back to school, I’m wishing everyone a safe and successful year ahead. Thank you to our dedicated parents, teachers, and school staff who make learning possible every single day. Here’s to a strong start and a wonderful school year!

I am proud to have joined my colleagues across the aisle in introducing the READ Act. This bill strengthens evidence-based Science of Reading instruction to tackle America’s literacy crisis and help every child succeed. Together, we’re improving literacy nationwide.

I am grieving alongside another community terrorized by gun violence. My heart is with the people of Twin Falls, Idaho and I am praying for those who are now dealing with the devastation of losing a loved one. I will continue to fight for a safer America.

Today, we honor the life of our dear friend and civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis. From leading the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to serving in the House, he never stopped fighting for justice. May we keep making good trouble and advancing the work he devoted his life to.

Everyone deserves access to quality health care. We cannot address our nation’s care shortage without understanding the social determinants of health that impact outcomes. We must stay committed to expanding access for everyone and not restricting it.

Today, we celebrate 250 years of America’s independence. We honor the courage and hope that has always defined our nation, and we pay tribute to all who are fighting, serving, and sacrificing to keep that promise alive. Wishing you and your family a safe and joyful Independence Day. 🇺🇸

The Supreme Court struck down a state law requiring permission to carry guns in private spaces like stores, restaurants, and hotels. This sets a dangerous standard that threatens public safety. The American people deserve better.

Today in Education & Workforce Committee, I urged my colleagues to support my amendment to H.R. 5505 so no student is punished for actions they didn’t commit. Accountability belongs with those responsible. Families deserve justice, and we shouldn’t undermine a bipartisan bill that saves lives.

I remain committed to advancing legislation that protects our children and prevents the next tragedy before it occurs. We owe it to every family touched by gun violence, and to every family we can still protect, to meet this moment with courage and conviction.

Today we honor Juneteenth and all who fought for our freedom. Their struggle reminds us that progress is earned, not given. The work isn’t done. We must keep pushing for true justice and equity for all. Watch the full floor video here: youtu.be/xXO3teS6cd0

This Black Music Month, we honor the artists whose creativity and influence continue to shape our culture. Their music carries our history, uplifts our communities, and inspires future generations.

Our office has been honored with the 2026 "Best of Bipartisan Collaboration" Award from @congressfdn.bsky.social. Finding common-sense solutions to serve the people of Georgia has always been one of my top priorities. Thank you to the Congressional Management Foundation for this recognition!

Families shouldn’t be forced into impossible choices because of underfunded classrooms. We must support our schools and ensure every student, including those with disabilities so they can thrive.

Hate-fueled violence is rising, from the attacks in Buffalo, San Diego, and Jacksonville to tragedies that have touched my own family. That’s why the Southern Poverty Law Center’s work remains vital, and why confronting extremism is still essential. Every community deserves safety.
