Clyburn, Scott, Blunt Rochester, Carey Reintroduce Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act - Congressman James E. Clyburn
Position: The release announces the reintroduction of legislation to reauthorize the National Park Service's African American Civil Rights Network program for ten years, to commemorate and interpret African American civil rights history and support heritage tourism.
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Congressman James E. Clyburn (SC-06), U.S. Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) and Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE), and Congressman Mike Carey (OH-15) reintroduced the Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act. The proposed legislation aims to authorize the National Park Service to coordinate and facilitate Federal and non-Federal activities to commemorate, honor, and interpret the history of the African American civil rights movements, the significance of civil rights activities as crucial elements in the evolution of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and recognize the relevance of the African American civil rights movements in fostering the spirit of social justice and national reconciliation.
The Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act would reauthorize the program for ten years following the enactment of the Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act.
“The importance of this legislation is embodied in that one word — network,” said Congressman James E. Clyburn. “Today, South Carolina’s top economic engines are transportation and tourism. And the fastest growing aspect of tourism is Heritage tourism. This legislation is pivotal because it involves a network of 29 states that designate sites for visitation that will grow the economy most especially in rural communities. These sites encapsulate the challenges and triumphs of African Americans’ ongoing journey towards a more perfect Union. We must reauthorize this effort so we can continue telling America’s full history.”
“The African American Civil Rights Network not only helps preserve our nation’s history but also strengthens our local economies through cultural tourism,” said Senator Tim Scott (R-SC). “As home to the largest share of AACRN sites in the country, South Carolina proves the immense value of reauthorizing this program. We must make sure future generations can walk these historic grounds, learn from our past, and continue striving for a future where the promise of the American Dream is within reach for all.”
“The African American Civil Rights Network Act of 2017 cemented the historic Civil Rights Movement’s legacy in communities across the country. Now, as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, this is a moment to further reflect on how the movement shaped our nation,” said Senator Blunt Rochester. “I’m proud to lead the bipartisan African American Civil Rights Network Reauthorization Act alongside Senator Scott, Congressman Clyburn, and Congressman Carey to continue preserving our nation’s history and honor the Americans who led an era of change.”
“As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great country, we must focus on preserving our history for future generations of Americans,” said Rep. Carey. “Preserving the stories and sites of the civil rights movement in Ohio and across the country will ensure that future generations have a better understanding of our nation’s rich history and the ongoing pursuit of equality for all Americans, all while increasing tourism and economic activity in our communities. I would like to thank Congressman Clyburn for his leadership on this important legislation and am proud to join him in this effort.”
“Trust for Public Land applauds Congressman Jim Clyburn, Congressman Mike Carey, Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester, and Senator Tim Scott for their outstanding leadership and diligent efforts to connect Americans to our shared history, as evidenced today through the introduction of the Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act,” said Dr. Jocelyn Imani, Director of Black History and Culture at Trust for Public Land. “This legislation will enable the continuation of this vital National Park Service program, linking together the people, places, and moments from the African American Civil Rights movement and preserving and sharing this monumental chapter of our nation’s history. As we reflect on the enduring pursuit of those self-evident truths first penned in our Declaration of Independence 250 years ago, we urge Congress to advance and pass this important legislation.”
“The National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Action Fund and its partners are proud to stand in solidarity with organizations across the African American Civil Rights Network (AACRN) in affirming that sustained support for this National Park Service program is critical to preserving a powerful and uniquely American legacy for future generations. The AACRN is a vital network of preservation partners committed to telling the full story of America’s civil rights journey,” said Brent Leggs, executive director of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund and strategic advisor to the CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “We applaud the bipartisan leadership of Representatives Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and Mike Carey (R-OH) and Senators Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) and Tim Scott (R-SC) in sponsoring this critical legislation, and we urge Congress to reauthorize the AACRN program to enable continued advancement of its mission.”

Clyburn, Van Hollen, Carson, DeLauro, Johnson, Khanna, Nadler Lead 119 Democrats in Condemning the Anti-Muslim “Sharia-Free America Caucus” and Harmful Legislation - Congressman James E. Clyburn
Position: Democratic members condemn the bicameral "Sharia-Free America Caucus" and associated legislation, arguing these proposals discriminate against American Muslims, raise constitutional concerns under the First Amendment and the Establishment Clause, and address no identifiable gap in U.S. law.
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Representative James E. Clyburn (SC-06), Chair of the Democratic Faith Working Group, and U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), with Representatives Andre Carson (IN-07), Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), Jerry Nadler (NY-12), Hank Johnson (GA-07), and Ro Khanna (CA-17) led 119 Democratic Members in a letter condemning the establishment of the bicameral, anti-Muslim, self-styled “Sharia-Free America Caucus,” which would promote legislation that discriminates against the faith tradition of American Muslims. Ugly voices are growing louder and threatening to strip away our First Amendment rights to freely practice our faith and to violate the Constitutional prohibition of government picking one religion over another. We must oppose efforts to spread racist and xenophobic misrepresentations that sow more ignorance and hate.
The premise underlying this caucus and the measures associated with it reflects longstanding Islamophobic narratives and anti-Muslim sentiment rather than any demonstrated policy need.
In their letter, the lawmakers denounced the hateful caucus and urged leadership to speak clearly against initiatives that discriminate and stigmatize against any religious community.
“To be clear, American Muslims serve this nation in every capacity and are entitled to the same constitutional protections as all other Americans. They are guided by both faith and civic responsibility to respect the U.S. Constitution, follow the law, and contribute positively to their communities and to the nation they call home. Congress must not legitimize anti-Muslim proposals that undermine those protections or foster division among the people we represent.”
The lawmakers condemned the following legislation associated with the “Sharia-Free America Caucus”:
The lawmakers continued, “These proposals address no identifiable gap in U.S. law and raise serious constitutional concerns. The U.S. Constitution already makes clear that federal and state law govern civil and criminal matters, and courts have repeatedly invalidated measures that single out a particular religion for disfavored treatment.
“Sharia, like Catholic canon law and Jewish Halakha, is a system of personal religious guidance developed through centuries of religious scholarship. For American Muslims, it primarily governs matters of faith and ethics, such as prayer, charity, honesty, family responsibilities, and service to others, and does not supersede U.S. law. Islamic teachings emphasize that Muslims should honor the laws of the country in which one resides.”

Republican Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development Funding Bill Makes Cost of Living Crisis Worse - Congressman James E. Clyburn
Position: The release opposes the Republican fiscal year 2027 Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development funding bill, arguing that it cuts housing and transportation investments, worsens affordability, and fails to address homelessness and the housing shortage.
Bill Makes It More Difficult for Americans to Buy a Home or Find Secure and Affordable, Safe Rental Housing
WASHINGTON — House Appropriations Committee Republicans today released the draft fiscal year 2027 Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies funding bill, which will be considered in subcommittee tomorrow. While Americans continue to struggle with the high cost of living, the bill makes it more expensive for Americans to keep a roof over their heads, commute to work and school, and have a chance at homeownership.
For 2027, the funding bill provides $92.2 billion, including $434 million to support maritime defense readiness programs at the Department of Transportation. After accounting for housing revenues, $100.9 billion is provided for federal transportation and housing programs, a cut of nearly $8.8 billion, or 8 percent, from 2026.
“The bill before us falls short of the American people’s needs, and once again, fails to meet this country’s growing housing shortage, most especially in the area of homelessness, and our aging populace,” Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee Ranking Member James E. Clyburn (D-SC-06) said. “We have yet to realize the full potential of resources approved by this Committee on a bipartisan basis. The current state of accessibility and affordability in America require us to take stock of our national priorities, and this appropriations bill fails to meet the moment. I implore my colleagues on this panel to work together on a bipartisan basis to find real solutions to the housing and jobs crisis and drive down the cost of living for everyday Americans.”
“House Republicans are doing nothing to address the cost of living crisis. Instead, they want to make it harder for the working class, the middle class, and vulnerable Americans to keep a roof over their heads, own a home, rent a safe place to raise their families, and commute to work and school,” Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) said. “Republicans’ 2027 Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development bill misses the reality that Americans just want relief from skyrocketing prices. It strips away critical investments in housing and community development while cutting Amtrak and other critical transportation resources, putting more commuters on the road, and adding more delays getting to work or school. Republicans’ bill slows the shipment of products American families depend on, further threatening to raise prices at a time when President Trump’s tariffs continue to weaken the economy. This bill would have lasting, harmful consequences on the health and safety of our communities.”

Clyburn Statement on Supreme Court Ruling on Louisiana v. Callais - Congressman James E. Clyburn
Position: Congressman Clyburn opposes the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision, characterizing it as dismantling the Voting Rights Act and threatening to increase partisan redistricting conflicts and reduce Black political representation.
WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman James E. Clyburn (SC-06) released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s ruling on Louisiana v. Callais:
“Today’s Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais is a giant step backward in our “pursuit of a more perfect Union,” as this activist court continues to dismantle the 1965 Voting Rights Act, one decision at a time.
“This decision threatens to send our country deeper into the thicket of never-ending redistricting fights, with repeated aggressive map redraws, protracted legal battles, and relentless partisan tugs-of-war, all of which are destined to result in more regressive Court decisions.
“This Court seems hellbent on redeeming the post-Reconstruction America that neutered the 1875 Civil Rights Act and other legislative and judicial actions that drastically limited Black participation and achievement, and eliminated African American political representation in multiple Southern states.”
