This morning, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) joined with Joe Madison on SiriusXM to discuss H.R. 55, the Emmett Till Antilynching Act and voting rights. H.R. 55, which passed the House last night with a strong bipartisan vote of 422-3, would designate lynching as a hate crime under federal law. Below are excerpts from his interview and a link to the audio:

Today marks the beginning of Women's History Month, in which we celebrate the tremendous achievements and contributions of women throughout our history. 

Senate Republicans' vote to block consideration of the Women's Health Protection Act today is a shameful rejection of a woman's right to access the full range of reproductive health care.  Women deserve the freedom to make their own decisions about their own health care, and it is a travesty that Republican-led states are considering and enacting legislation to prevent them from doing so. 

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is eminently qualified and an outstanding choice to serve on our nation’s highest court, and I offer my strong support for her historic nomination.
