Happy Georgia Pre-K Week from the #FightingFifth!

I visited The School for Creative Achievers to read "I am Enough" by Grace Byers. Because it is never too early to remind our little ones that they are worthy, capable, and "like the sun, they're here to shine."

Because safe, healthy homes shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Families in the #FightingFifth and across the country deserve better.

The #FightingFifth is home to some of the most influential talent in music, so I loved meeting with the Atlanta Chapter of the Recording Academy.

We had a thoughtful conversation about the emerging role of AI in the music industry and what it means for creators.

Georgia conducts some of the most robust post-election audits in the country, which repeatedly confirm the accuracy of our election results.

Georgians in the #FightingFifth and beyond can have confidence in our elections and in your vote.

Nonviolence helped change the course of American history in the #FightingFifth and beyond.

As a young activist, Congressman John Lews helped lead a movement grounded in nonviolent action, and later, in Congress, he introduced a resolution supporting National Nonviolence Week.

Breaking down barriers between young people and the ballot is exactly why I introduced the Youth Voting Rights Act — to make sure polling places are available on university campuses in the #FightingFifth and across the country.

Welcome to #SecureTheBallot – my new series about the fight for our right to vote and what it means to protect that right today.

We’re starting here in the heart of the #FightingFifth with my friend, mentor, and predecessor, the late, great Congressman John Lewis.

The Annual Senior Ball was a beautiful evening celebrating our #FightingFifth seniors who paved the way! This year’s theme, “Legacy, Honor, and Elegance,” was truly on full display. 💙

I will always fight to ensure our community’s seniors have the resources they need to thrive!

From packing 1 million meals to feed our neighbors and celebrating 160 years of service at Central United Methodist Church to welcoming transit leaders and fighting for better maternal healthcare, it was another busy week delivering for the #FightingFifth.

Catch up on this week’s #NikemasNotes!

America is facing a maternal health crisis — and too many mamas in the #FightingFifth are being left behind.

That's why I’m urging CMS to expand maternal telehealth access for Medicaid beneficiaries during and after pregnancy.

Our mamas deserve care, no matter their bank account or ZIP code.

Happy October! Join Team Nikema for a 'Congress in Your Community' event in the #FightingFifth!

Throughout the month, my office will be in your neighborhood to answer your questions and help you navigate federal agencies.

We are here for YOU. Hope to see y'all there.

I'm a proud APS mama but I'm an even prouder one this week. My Carter-cakes celebrated his first homecoming at Ralph J. Bunch Middle School in the #FightingFifth.

Being Mr. Music Tech's mama is the greatest joy of my life and it's a blessing to watch his education journey unfold everyday.

As our Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens reminds us, Atlanta is a group project. MARTA General Manager & CEO Jonathan Hunt tells us MARTA is, too. I look forward to the working with community leaders to expand equity and accessibility in transportation across the #FightingFifth and our region.

You have one more month to sign up for the Good Trouble Youth Council where high school students in the #FightingFifth can create real policy solutions to issues that matter to them.

Central United Methodist Church is celebrating 160 years — and it’s the church I call home.

For generations, this historic Black church has served the #FightingFifth through faith, social justice, and education.

I was honored to present a Congressional Proclamation to Dr. Daniel.

Trump’s billionaire bailout bill keeps hurting our communities.

The elimination of Grad PLUS loans has left Morehouse School of Medicine students in the #FightingFifth struggling to put food on the table while pursuing their education.

Our students deserve better.

I voted to bring articles of impeachment against Donald Trump to the floor. House Republicans tabled them, then tabled Congress.

Working families in the #FightingFifth and across the country are still working. Congress should be, too.

1 million meals packed in the heart of the #FightingFifth to help put food on our neighbors’ tables!

This is what delivering for your community looks like. I’m so inspired by the way Atlantans come together to lift each other up, turning community care into concrete action and real results.

From standing with small business owners and reflecting on the legacy of Black excellence, to celebrating leaders who paved the way and fighting for better access to healthcare, it was another busy week delivering for the #FightingFifth.

Catch up on it all in this week’s #NikemasNotes!

Last week, Terri-Nichelle came to D.C. to share the challenges that come with owning a small business. So, I had to come see her in her element to witness the joy, inspiration, and impact she’s creating through the Brown Toy Box.

Thank you, Terri-Nichelle, for all you do for the #FightingFifth.
