12/13/2022 Tweet - "Today, @POTUS signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law -- landmark legislation to ensure same-sex and interracial couples are always recognized under federal law. Every family deserves the freedom to love without fear and to be treated with dignity and respect."
12/08/2022 Majority Whip Clyburn Statement Following Passage of the Respect for Marriage Act
11/29/2022 Tweet - "Justice Thomas has already outlined a plan that includes ending marriage equality. Today, the Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act and will now send the bill to the House to ensure protections for same-sex and interracial marriages remain the law of the land."
07/19/2022 Tweet - "In a concurrent opinion ripping away women's right to choose, Justice Thomas outlined next steps--including ending marriage equality. Today, @HouseDemocrats will pass the Respect for Marriage Act to enshrine marriage equality in federal law & stop state efforts to curb this right."
03/02/2022 Tweet - "Parents can't go back to work unless they can secure reliable, affordable care for their children. We must expand the availability of affordable and high-quality child care so we can build an economy that works for everyone. #COVIDChildCareChallenge"
01/27/2022 Tweet - "No one ought to have to choose between keeping their family warm & putting food on the table. The $80.2 million in #AmericanRescuePlan funds headed to SC for the Low Income Energy Home Assistance Program will make a huge difference in the lives of working families in our state."
11/09/2021 Tweet - "Thanks to Democrats' expansion of the Child Tax Credit, working families in SC received a $246.7 million tax cut last month. That's money for food, housing, child care, and more. Eligible families ought to visit http://GetCTC.org by November 15 to claim theirs."
10/16/2021 Tweet - "The American Rescue Plan's expanded #ChildTaxCredit is pulling millions of children out of poverty. Without further action, though, it will end after 2021. Let's work to make it permanent."
09/08/2021 Tweet - "According to a new study by the Urban Institute, extending the American Rescue Plan's tax cuts for families with children could cut childhood poverty by 40%. Making this critical lifeline permanent would change lives."
09/06/2021 Tweet - "The American Rescue Plan dramatically reduced child poverty through the expanded Child Tax Credit. As we work to build back better, we must ensure that this progress is made permanent."
07/24/2021 Tweet - "Accessible, safe, and affordable child care is a critical part of infrastructure. Without proper child care, parents can't go back to work and children run the risk of missing valuable learning opportunities. Our COVID-19 recovery must include a plan to #SolveChildCare."
07/02/2021 Tweet - "The #AmericanRescuePlan is working. The virus is being contained, and Americans are going back to work. But we're just getting started--we're working to pass President Biden's American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan to build back better. #HelpIsHere"
06/25/2021 Congressman Clyburn Announces More Than $17 Million In Funding For South Carolina Head Start Programs
06/24/2021 Tweet - "As a teacher, I saw students fall into trouble because they lacked opportunities. That's why I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing commonsense legislation to codify President Biden's proposals to invest in our young people and make our communities safer."
06/11/2021 Tweet - "Child and elder care are a critical part of our nation's infrastructure. Investing in our #CareEconomy will allow parents and caregivers to return to work knowing their loved ones are well cared for."
06/09/2021 Tweet - "Investing in our #CareEconomy is key to getting our nation back on track. Taking care of children & aging loved ones can make it more difficult to join the workforce. The American Rescue Plan is doing its job. Now we have to build on it & pass the American Jobs & Families Plans."
05/25/2021 Tweet - "Cutting off pandemic unemployment benefits early will hurt rural communities, and won't help people get back to work. People want to work, but they need job offers with fair pay, transportation to get there, and childcare to be available."
05/09/2021 Tweet - "These job numbers, it's very clear to me, that the president's plan means that there are a lot of people who are not going back to work because they cannot find care for their children. That's why he has in his program a way for us to take care of children and senior citizens."
05/09/2021 Tweet - "There's this notion that people don't want to work. I have not met any of those people who don't want to work. I have met a lot of people who are staying out of work because they cannot find childcare for their children. That is a critical part of this nation's infrastructure."
04/29/2021 Majority Whip Clyburn Praises President Biden's Inclusive Agenda And First 100 Days In Office
10/05/2020 Tweet - "Children in states that haven't expanded Medicaid under the ACA are more than twice as likely to be uninsured. As we recognize #ChildHealthDay, children's health depends on expanding Medicaid and protecting the ACA from GOP attack in Congress, the White House, and SCOTUS."
08/19/2020 Tweet - "This @WaysMeansCmte report confirms that government-sanctioned discrimination in the SC foster care system on the basis of religion and sexual orientation is harmful and wrong for children and families. @HHSGov should rescind this ill-conceived waiver."
07/29/2020 Tweet - "Child care is ESSENTIAL. That's why we just passed the Child Care Is Essential Act, so we can keep child care providers from closing permanently."
03/15/2020 Tweet - "Millions of workers will get paid sick leave under #FamiliesFirst. What they need are protections now, not grandstanding. This emergency legislation is an important step in preventing the spread of this virus, and protecting American families."
03/14/2020 Tweet - "From the beginning of this health crisis, @HouseDemocrats have been committed to providing support for American families hit the hardest by COVID-19. This bill & the recently enacted supplemental approps are just the first steps that Congress will take to mitigate this pandemic."
