    Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024

    75/100

    What they said

    May 21, 2026

    The resolution calls for Congress to establish a national child poverty reduction target and make permanent investments in children comparable to the 2021 expanded Child Tax Credit, along with strengthened support for programs providing healthcare, housing, education, and food assistance to children in poverty.

    What they did

    Feb 1, 2024

    Voted Nay on Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024

    AI analysis

    The statement calls for permanent investments in children comparable to the 2021 expanded Child Tax Credit, along with strengthened support for healthcare, housing, education, and food assistance. The bill increases the refundable Child Tax Credit amounts for 2023–2025 and modifies earned income tax credit rules, which directly aligns with the statement's support for expanded child tax credits. However, the bill's increases are temporary (expiring after 2025) rather than permanent, and the bill does not address the statement's calls for strengthened healthcare, housing, education, or food assistance programs. The rep's NO vote on a bill that partially advances the stated goal but lacks permanence and breadth suggests either objection to the temporary nature, the omission of other child-support programs, or bundled provisions in Titles II and III (business tax provisions) that the rep opposed.

Reps. Tlaib, Watson Coleman introduce Monitor Microplastics Now Act

Position: The release supports directing the EPA to monitor microplastics and nanoplastics in drinking water and to add them to the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule, arguing that the agency's exclusion of these contaminants is unjustified given their reported health risks.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) introduced the Monitor Microplastics Now Act to direct the Environmental Protection Agency to monitor harmful microplastics and nanoplastics in drinking water. Microplastics are linked to a wide range of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, impaired kidney and liver function, and Alzheimer's disease. In July, the EPA published the draft of the sixth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule, which lists 30 chemicals to monitor under the Safe Drinking Water Act, but it excludes microplastics and nanoplastics. The EPA has refused to justify the exclusion of microplastics, despite being lawfully required to do so after a petition from seven governors from Michigan, New Jersey, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Wisconsin, and Connecticut. The bill directs the EPA to correct the list and include these harmful contaminants. “Our public health is suffering because the EPA refuses to listen to science,” said Rep. Tlaib. “Our government should be transparent about microplastics’ harms and levels of exposure, but instead the EPA is putting corporate profits before our health and safety. The Monitor Microplastics Now Act listens to the nearly 80% of Americans who want immediate action to address the dangers of microplastics.” "Microplastics are poisoning our water, our earth, and our bodies,” said Rep. Watson Coleman. “The failure to monitor, manage, and regulate microplastics may have consequences for generations. I'm grateful to work with Rep. Tlaib to introduce the Monitor Microplastics Now Act to finally put us on the road to ensuring our children and grandchildren have the healthy and safe environment they deserve.” "We are all breathing and swallowing small pieces of plastic known as microplastics or nanoplastics. They have been found in our lungs, kidneys, bloodstream, testicles, the human placenta, and breast milk,” said Judith Enck, former EPA Regional Administrator and President of Beyond Plastics. “Scientists have determined that some microplastics cross the blood brain barrier and contribute to Alzheimer's disease. To make things worse, chemicals are in the plastics. The time has come to stop conducting this unauthorized human experiment and adopt new policies that reduce the exposure to microplastics.” “The unchecked rise of microplastics pollution is one of the gravest environmental and public health problems facing this country today. Yet, despite the urging of states, environmental and public health organizations, and thousands of people across the country, the EPA is refusing to even monitor for microplastics in drinking water,” said Mary Grant, Water Policy Director of Food and Water Watch. “We desperately need serious federal action to save lives from the endless flood of plastic invading our water, air and environment. We thank Reps. Tlaib and Watson Coleman for their leadership to introduce the Monitor Microplastics Now Act, a pivotal step in beginning to ensure that people are protected from microplastics.” “Microplastics are contaminating our nation’s drinking water and have been found throughout the human body,” said Rachel Bustamante, Policy Manager at Plastic Pollution Coalition. “We applaud Representatives Tlaib and Watson Coleman for introducing the Monitor Microplastics Now Act to help uncover the extent of this pollution. Our lawmakers already know enough to act and must follow this legislation with meaningful measures to reduce plastic pollution and safeguard our drinking water.” The Monitor Microplastics Now Act is also cosponsored by U.S. Reps. Maxine Waters (CA-43), Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), André Carson (IN-07), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC-at large), Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08), and Janelle Bynum (OR-05).

People’s Environmental Justice Caucus opposes Senate permitting reform bill

Position: The release opposes the Senate permitting reform bill (the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026), arguing it expedites data center and fracked gas pipeline construction, weakens judicial review and environmental and historic-preservation protections, and inadequately protects ratepayers and public health.

WASHINGTON – The People’s Environmental Justice Caucus, founded by U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), Summer L. Lee (PA-12), and Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07), released the following statement in opposition to the U.S. Senate’s permitting reform bill: “The People’s Environmental Justice Caucus stands with the nearly 200 community, labor, and environmental justice groups across the country urging Congress to reject the so-called ‘permitting reform’ deal that speeds up data center and fracked gas pipeline construction, limits communities’ ability to defend themselves from corporate polluters in court, threatens Tribal Nations’ sacred sites and cultural resources, and fails to deliver meaningful affordability or health protections our constituents desperately need. “The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 is a gift to Big Oil and Big Tech. This deal makes it easier to build the fossil energy infrastructure necessary to fuel the data center boom that is overwhelmingly opposed in neighborhoods from coast to coast. In the face of rising bipartisan disgust with data centers and pipelines, this deal eviscerates the limited tools communities already have to challenge developments that threaten their health and environment and effectively locks in dirty energy and destructive tech projects for generations. We should be strengthening judicial review, the Clean Water Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act, not undermining them to provide a rubber stamp to polluting projects. “To make matters worse, this power grab doesn’t even meaningfully protect ratepayers from the soaring energy costs and toxic pollution that data center developments bring to their neighborhoods. Our residents are struggling to cope with overlapping climate, pollution, and affordability crises and need real action from Congress. This bad deal trades lifetimes of pollution and harm for pennies in relief. We urge Congress to reject this power grab and choose our communities over Big Oil and Big Tech.” The People’s Environmental Justice Caucus, launched in March, exists to give frontline environmental justice communities a voice in Congress. The Caucus co-chairs are preparing to reintroduce the landmark Grijalva-McEachin Environmental Justice for All Act to reassert the public’s right to defend their health and environment, and will be kicking off a public participation process to solicit feedback on how to further strengthen these protections.

Rep. Tlaib introduces bill to restore temporary protected status for Yemen

Position: Supports introducing legislation to restore Temporary Protected Status for Yemen after the administration terminated it, citing ongoing civil war, humanitarian crisis, and State Department travel warnings. Opposes the administration's bombing of Yemen and proposed arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) introduced a bill to restore temporary protected status for Yemen, which the Trump administration officially terminated in July, following a legal battle. Conditions in countries designated for TPS are too dangerous for people to return safely. Those who qualify for TPS are allowed to remain in the U.S. temporarily. Yemen is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises amid an ongoing civil war and foreign siege and military intervention, including the Trump administration’s bombing of the country last year. The Department of State has placed Yemen under a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory, citing violence, kidnapping, landmines and unexploded ordinances, as well as the re-emergence of diseases like cholera, polio, and measles. Michigan, especially Rep. Tlaib’s district, is home to large Yemeni communities. “The Trump administration is threatening our Yemeni neighbors, and I will not stand for it. DHS unjustly terminated temporary protected status for Yemen without care for the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe and escalating armed conflict facing the country,” said Rep. Tlaib. “The Trump administration was bombing civilians in Yemen as recently as last year and is currently trying to give the Saudi monarchy billions of dollars in bombs and jets to continue the devastation. The State Department explicitly warns against any travel to Yemen, and yet, this president wants to send our neighbors back as part of his racist mass deportation agenda. I am proud to represent one of the most Yemeni districts in the country. These are our family members, coworkers, friends, and neighbors. They belong here, and I will not turn my back on them.” In April, Rep. Tlaib led 23 Members of Congress in urging the Trump administration to halt its planned termination of TPS for Yemen. Conditions in the country have only deteriorated since then. The Yemen TPS Act is cosponsored by 14 Members of Congress: U.S. Reps. André Carson (IN-07), Jim Costa (CA-21), Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04), Jonathan L. Jackson (IL-01), Henry C. "Hank" Johnson, Jr. (GA-04), Timothy Kennedy (NY-26), Gwen Moore (WI-04), Seth Moulton (MA-06), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC-at large), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Jan Schakowsky (IL-09), Lateefah Simon (CA-12), Shri Thanedar (MI-13), and Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12).

Rep. Tlaib introduces bill to remove and prohibit Flock cameras, mass surveillance technologies

Position: Rep. Tlaib introduced the Get the Flock Out of Our Communities Act, which would prohibit federal funds from being used to purchase or operate automated mass surveillance systems such as automatic license plate readers and facial recognition technology, and require state and local governments to divest from such systems to remain eligible for certain federal law enforcement grants.

INKSTER, MICH. – U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) introduced the Get the Flock Out of Our Communities Act today with community leaders in front of a Flock camera in Inkster, Michigan, whose city officials just signed a long-term contract with the mass surveillance company. The bill would prohibit the use of federal funds to purchase or operate any automated mass surveillance systems, including automatic license plate readers like Flock. It would also require state and local governments to divest from such systems to remain eligible for certain federal law enforcement grants. It is the only bill in Congress designed to completely prohibit the use of automated mass surveillance technology, including biometric surveillance systems and facial recognition technology. “The mass surveillance crisis is not a dystopian fantasy—it is already here. Our children and neighbors cannot go to the park, drive down the street, go to work, or exercise their Constitutional rights without their privacy being breached,” said Rep. Tlaib. “Flock’s technology isn’t making us safer. Instead it has been used to stalk people, mis-identify and arrest innocent people, surveil protestors, and wrongfully record our neighbors. My bill would prevent our government on all levels from selling us out to Big Tech companies that trample our civil rights for profit.” Over 200 cities and counties, including Westland and Lincoln Park in Michigan, have cancelled their Flock contracts due to resident outrage. According to Data for Progress, a majority of voters — 52% — view Flock unfavorably, a sentiment that continues to grow as Flock and its abuses become more widespread. "People everywhere are starting to recognize that conflating surveillance with safety makes communities less safe,” said Tawana Petty, digital and data justice organizer from Detroit. “The persistent abuse of Flock cameras and other surveillance systems by law enforcement agencies across the United States, and the lack of transparency by the companies that market them has caused an awakening among residents and city government agencies who are ridding themselves of the technologies. The Get the Flock Out of Our Communities Act is responsive to the national call to protect all neighbors from being stalked and harmed by reckless actors and opportunistic corporations." “Flock cameras are overall dangerous to a free society,” said Geri Biggs, Dearborn resident and community advocate. “There have already been cases cited where individuals have been illegally stalked, including young women, by individuals in positions of power with nefarious intentions.Allowing this information to be shared with companies poses a threat to the civil rights of us all, and at the very least can be intimidating to the most vulnerable in our communities.” “Flock cameras are a significant invasion of people’s privacy and need to be seriously controlled, or eliminated,” said Larry Biggs, Dearborn resident and community advocate. “As soon as information is gathered by Flock, it can be shared with other law enforcement agencies, including ICE and CBP, with no control. All other invasions of people’s privacy must get a search warrant or have probable cause. Flock cameras have no such requirements.” "Flock and other vendors of AI-surveillance technology pose an existential risk to our democracy,” said Elijah Nemr, member of Metro Detroit Democratic Socialists of America. “With capabilities ranging from video and audio capture, to the processing and permanent storage of our most sensitive data, every person who values their independence and privacy must oppose this technology in all of its forms. DSA has successfully organized to end Flock in Westland, and we will continue organizing with our neighbors to get Flock out of our communities!” “The spread of mass surveillance systems is an existential threat to political and personal freedom,” said Jibran Ludwig, Legislative Strategist at Fight for the Future. “We have seen the current administration weaponize these tools to terrorize immigrant communities and protestors, while simultaneously forcing every single person into dragnet surveillance that puts us all in danger. But the threat goes far beyond our current political moment: the history of mass surveillance is an endless litany of abuse at every level. This bill is an urgent effort to uproot the mass surveillance systems which have been built up from the local level and down from the federal." “Indivisible is proud to endorse the Get the Flock Out of Our Communities Act. These automated mass surveillance systems don’t just violate our fundamental rights to privacy and civil liberties – they fuel Big Tech’s broader efforts to harvest as much of our personal information as possible so they can bleed our bank accounts dry and monopolize markets,” said Andrew O’Neill, National Advocacy Director of Indivisible. “We’ve also witnessed Republicans increasingly weaponize warrantless mass surveillance as a fascist tool for political gain and to help their donors profit off massive amounts of our stolen data. This isn’t new, and it has nothing to do with safety or justice: the first surveillance laws in the U.S. passed in 1712 targeted Black, mixed-race, and Indigenous people, weaponizing public safety to enforce white supremacy. Ever since, surveillance systems and increasingly sophisticated technologies have been intentionally and disproportionately deployed in predominantly Black and low-income communities. It’s more urgent than ever that Congress protect our communities from these attacks.” The Get the Flock Out of Our Communities Act comprehensively removes automated mass surveillance systems and similar technologies by: The Get the Flock Out of Our Communities Act is cosponsored by 6 members of Congress: U.S. Reps. Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), Summer Lee (PA-12), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03), Nydia Velázquez (NY-07), and Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12).

Reps. Tlaib, Correa reintroduce resolution honoring Alex Odeh

Position: The release announces the reintroduction of a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Alex Odeh and reaffirms the importance of pursuing justice for his 1985 killing.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) and Lou Correa (CA-46) today reintroduced a resolution remembering and honoring the life and legacy of Alex Odeh. The resolution acknowledges Alex's impact on his community and the country, and reaffirms the importance of pursuing justice against those responsible for his death. “Alex Odeh was a teacher, a poet, and a man of peace, and he was murdered in our community simply for speaking up for civil and human rights,” said Correa. “He was a voice for peace and dignity in Orange County. Remembering him is the least we can do, and pursuing justice for his family is our obligation.” Rep. Correa represents the district where Alex and his family lived and where the attack took place. “Alex Odeh dedicated his life to achieving true equality and equity for all. For daring to push for a better tomorrow, Alex was assassinated by members of the Jewish Defense League, and his killers have yet to be brought to justice,” said Tlaib. "This horrific act of anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian violence was, and is not, new. But this violence will never silence us. Those who continue to fear-monger and incite hate against us will not win. Arab and Palestinian Americans are still here, loud and proud, carrying on Alex’s legacy.” Alex was born in Jifna, Palestine, and lived in Orange County, California, for most of his adult life, including Santa Ana. He was a peace activist who worked to promote civil liberties for Arab-Americans in the United States. Alex Odeh was the Southern California Regional Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). On October 11, 1985, Alex was killed when a pipe bomb exploded as he entered the ADC regional office in Santa Ana, California. Although the primary suspects have long been known, no one has been brought to justice. The investigation remains open. SOUTHFIELD, MICH. – U.S. Rep.

Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) and Al Green (TX-09), joined by 21 Members of Congress, demanded the release of Ya’akub Ira Vijandre, who was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement a year ago as of yesterday. In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and ICE Acting Director David Venturella, the Members pressed for answers regarding Ya’akub’s unconstitutional arrest and prolonged detention after a federal judge allowed his habeas challenge to proceed. Ya’akub, a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient, has lived in the U.S. since he was 14 years old. He spent a decade working for American Airlines as a senior safety specialist and was recognized for supporting grieving families after a helicopter crashed into a plane in Washington, D.C. Despite having no criminal record and not being charged with any crime, he was targeted and arrested at gun point for speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and for “liking” a social media post with Quranic verses–both of which are protected by the First Amendment. “The administration’s stated basis for [Ya’akub’s] detention has been inconsistent and appears to rely substantially on his speech and social media activity,” the Members wrote. “DHS has sought to justify his detention by citing his social media commentary regarding the prosecutions of the Holy Land Foundation Five, his criticism of the treatment of Guantanamo detainees, his advocacy for Palestine, and his engagement with religious Islamic content, including ‘liking’ Instagram posts containing Quranic verses. We are deeply concerned that constitutionally protected political and religious expression is being used as a basis for his continued detention or deportation.” The letter renews concerns and questions from a letter Rep. Green sent in June. Rep. Tlaib also spoke on the House floor urging for Ya’akub’s release in August. “We are also concerned by reports, previously flagged in Congressman Green’s June letter, that the FBI approached Mr. Vijandre in November 2023 seeking his cooperation as a confidential informant and that he declined,” the Members continued in their letter. “His DACA status, renewed as recently as May 2024 through May 2026, was subsequently revoked. The proximity and sequence of these events—an FBI approach he declined, followed by a DACA termination and detention grounded largely in the government’s characterization of his religious and political speech—continue to raise serious questions about possible retaliation that Congress has not yet received satisfactory answers to.” The letter, led by Reps. Tlaib and Green, was signed by 21 other Members of Congress: Greg Casar (TX–35), Judy Chu (CA-28), Maxwell Frost (FL-10), Jesús "Chuy" García (IL-04), Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07), Jonathan Jackson (IL-01), Henry C. “Hank” Johnson, Jr. (GA-04), Ro Khanna (CA-17), Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08), Summer Lee (PA-12), Analilia Mejia (NJ-11), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Mark Pocan (WI-02), Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), Delia Ramirez (IL-03), Emily Randall (WA-06), Lateefah Simon (CA-12), Nydia Velázquez (NY-07), Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12). The letter was also endorsed by 38 organizations: American Friends Service Committee, Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, Arab American Caucus of the California Democratic Party, Arlington for Palestine, Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Atlanta, CAIR Action, Center for Constitutional Rights, Codepink, Community Alliance for Peace and Justice, Demand Progress, Havertown-Community Action Network, IMEU Policy Project, Indiana Center for Middle East Peace, Institute for Policy Studies New Internationalism Project, Maine Coalition for Palestine, Majdal: Arab Community Center of San Diego, MARUF CT, Massachusetts Peace Action, Methodist Federation for Social Action, Muslim Advocates, National Political Prisoner Coalition, NE Oakland Indivisible, NH Peace Action, Palestine Legal, Peace Action Montgomery, Peace Justice Sustainability NOW!, Philly Neighborhood Networks, Pittsburgh Palestine Solidarity Committee, Project TAHA, Restore The Fourth – Action, ReThinking Foreign Policy, River Valley for Palestine, The Justice Coalition, United Methodists for Kairos Response, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action, Virginia for Palestine, Whistleblower & Source Protection Program at ExposeFacts, Worcester Multifaith for Palestine.

Tlaib and Jacobs Introduce Resolution to End Child Poverty

Position: The resolution calls for Congress to establish a national child poverty reduction target and make permanent investments in children comparable to the 2021 expanded Child Tax Credit, along with strengthened support for programs providing healthcare, housing, education, and food assistance to children in poverty.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) and Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (CA-51) introduced the Ending Child Poverty Resolution, which calls on Congress to fully invest in solving the United States’ child poverty crisis. The United States has one of the highest child poverty rates among wealthy nations, double that of countries like the Netherlands or Finland. As of 2024, more than 9.7 million children lived in poverty in the United States, a 154 percent increase since 2021. At the same time, U.S. federal spending on children has been declining for years. In a country as wealthy as the United States, widespread child poverty is a moral and policy failure. This legislation was first introduced in the United States House of Representatives by former Congresswoman Barbara Lee. “Congress has the power to end child poverty and support our nation’s most vulnerable, yet continues to defund and destroy the federal programs that help our children get fed, clothed, housed, and educated,” said Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. “More and more funding is allocated towards weapons and war instead of ensuring our children and families are supported. I’m proud to introduce this resolution with Rep. Jacobs and re-commit Congress to ending the child poverty crisis.” “In the wealthiest nation in the world, no child should lie awake at night wondering how they will get their next meal, or if their family can afford somewhere to live. There is no excuse for our government giving billions of dollars in handouts to the wealthy while eviscerating the social safety net programs that help families and children, said Congresswoman Sara Jacobs. “It is time for Congress to step up and end the child poverty crisis. I’m proud to introduce this resolution with Rep. Tlaib, so we can highlight where people are falling through the gaps, and implement programs to support the families our systems have failed for years.” The resolution outlines the material hardship, food insecurity, health issues, and instability that poverty causes and highlights the U.S. government’s failure to address these issues. To end child poverty, this legislation calls for establishing a national child poverty reduction target to build the political will for change, in addition to investments in children on the scale of the 2021 Child Tax Credit, which nearly cut child poverty in half. In the face of longstanding underinvestment in children, the resolution encourages permanent support for policies and programs that strengthen children’s learning opportunities and access to healthcare, housing, and other necessities. The Ending Child Poverty Resolution is cosponsored by Representatives Pramila Jayapal, LaMonica McIver, Gwen Moore, Kelly Morrison, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Lateefah Simon, and Frederica S. Wilson. This legislation is endorsed by: Caring Across Generations, Chamber of Mothers, Child Welfare League of America, Children’s Advocacy Centers of Michigan, Coalition on Human Needs, First Focus Campaign for Children, Michigan Chamber for Reproductive Justice, Mothering Justice Action Fund, National Healthy Start Association, National Women’s Law Center Action Fund, Our Revolution, Partners for Dignity and Rights, and ZERO TO THREE. “Child poverty is a choice,” said Bruce Lesley, President, at First Focus Campaign for Children. “Lawmakers have in the past chosen to alleviate child poverty — which affects every aspect of a child’s development — for instance, by improving the Child Tax Credit in 2021, a choice that cut the rate of child poverty nearly in half. The Congressional Resolution on Ending Child Poverty put forward by Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Sara Jacobs recognizes that what lawmakers need are not more solutions, but the political will to enact them. We strongly support this resolution and call on all members of Congress to join these champions for children in supporting the nation’s future.” “Mothering Justice proudly endorses the Ending Child Poverty Resolution because mothers, especially Black and Brown mothers, have been sounding the alarm on this crisis for years,” said Danielle Atkinson, Founder and National Executive Director, at Mothering Justice. “When the expanded Child Tax Credit expired in 2022, 4 million children were pushed back into poverty overnight. Our members lived those consequences. This resolution centers the children most often left behind: those in immigrant families, in Puerto Rico, and in their most critical years of development, and it names child poverty for what it is: a racial justice issue, an economic justice issue, and a moral failure that this country has the resources to address.” “The Michigan Chamber for Reproductive Justice applauds Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Sara Jacobs for naming child poverty as the crisis it is. No child should have to grow up without stable housing, nutritious food, clean water, health care, or the resources every family needs to thrive,” said Cassy Jones McBryde, Executive Director, at the Michigan Chamber for Reproductive Justice. “Child poverty is a policy choice, and ending it requires the courage to invest in children with the same urgency we bring to every national priority. We are grateful for Reps. Tlaib and Jacobs’ leadership and are proud to stand with efforts that move families from survival toward stability, dignity, and joy.” The full text of the legislation can be found here.

Tlaib Introduces Resolution Recognizing 78 Years of Ongoing Palestinian Nakba

Position: The resolution recognizes the 78th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, characterizes Israeli actions as genocide and ethnic cleansing, calls for reinstatement of UNRWA funding, and asserts Palestinian refugees' right of return.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) re-introduced the resolution Recognizing the Ongoing Nakba and Palestinian Refugees’ Rights. May 15, 2026, marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba. The Nakba, which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the mass expulsion and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes and homeland during the creation of the state of Israel (1947-49). The Nakba did not end in 1948, but continues to this day as Israeli forces continue to commit genocide in Gaza and dispossess Palestinians across all of Palestine. “The Nakba never ended. Today, the Israeli apartheid regime is committing genocide in Gaza, violently erasing entire communities across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, and bombing Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. It is a campaign to erase Palestinians from existence,” said Congresswoman Tlaib. “War criminal Netanyahu and his cabinet have repeatedly threatened to ethnically cleanse the entire Palestinian population in Gaza, annex the land, and permanently occupy it. Today, they are extending these same threats towards southern Lebanon. As we mark the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, we honor all of those killed since the ethnic cleansing of Palestine began and all those who have been forced from their homes and violently displaced from their land. This immense trauma, including the loss of their loved ones and connections to the communities they grew up in, needs to be repaired. True peace must be built on justice and the inalienable right of return for Palestinian refugees.” The Israeli government also continues the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians through illegal settlements and segregated communities in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the destruction of Palestinian homes and seizure of agricultural land, the revocation of residency rights, and the denial of the internationally recognized legal right of return of millions of Palestinian refugees. The United States is an accomplice in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, providing endless funding and weapons. Congresswoman Tlaib’s resolution commemorates the 78th anniversary of the Nakba and promotes better education and understanding of this well-documented history. The resolution also calls on Congress to reinstate support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides live-saving humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees. “Thank you to Congresswoman Tlaib for her unwavering commitment to the fight for Palestinian liberation, and for representing the voices of Palestinian Americans so well through the introduction of this resolution,” said IMEU Policy Project Executive Director Margaret DeReus. “The Nakba is not just a historical event, but an ongoing horror for Palestinians—and the U.S. has been complicit for decades. This May marks 78 years of Israel’s continuous efforts to erase Palestinians from their homeland. It is the height of cruelty that while so many Americans struggle to pay for a home here in the U.S., our government sends billions to enable Israel to forcibly remove Palestinians from their homes instead.” This legislation is cosponsored by Representatives André Carson (IN-07), Jesús "Chuy" García (IL-04), Al Green (TX-09), Henry “Hank” Johnson, Jr. (GA-04), Summer Lee (PA-12), Betty McCollum (MN-04), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), Delia Ramirez (IL-03), Lateefah Simon (CA-12), and Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12).
