Despite overwhelming public support, the Trump FCC voted to end Net Neutrality. I’m calling for a vote in the People’s House to Save The Internet. Yesterday, the Senate voted to Save The Internet. I’m proud to support similar Net Neutrality legislation here in the House. The fight for a free and open internet continues. The FCC took away a free and open Internet. Yesterday, the Senate are voted to Save The Internet. I’m supporting the same legislation here in the House that will bring Net Neutrality back.

Congressman Danny K. Davis today expressed his outrage at the latest attempt by the Trump administration to use hyper-partisan, anti-science, and misogynistic ideology and rhetoric to slash reproductive health care, and health care in general for women especially low income women. These extreme, inhumane views are inconsistent with the constitutional rights of women and modern health care science. Davis fully endorsed the statement issued by the Congressional Pro Choice Caucus today:

The killing of 50+ and wounding of 1700+ Palestinians protesting the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem today is human rights catastrophe. President Trump’s reversal of long standing policy to settle this question according to U.N. resolution which the U.S. voted for is an abandonment of our commitments to be an honest and fair broker of diplomatic efforts to achieve security, peace and justice for all parties.

At least 4,075 Blacks and some white sympathizers were lynched up until the 1981 death of Michael Donald, the last recorded lynching in the U.S. Davis stated: "During 1919 in Arkansas there were race riots near Elaine, Ark because Black farmers were attempting to organize to get better prices for their crops. More than 200 were killed during this period of unrest and upheaval where bands of whites would just ride in on some Black people ... This business of lynching is seriously etched in the history, evolution and development of this country.
