Rep.-elect Cori Bush, the first Black Lives Matter activist to serve in Congress, has landed a high-profile job on the powerful House Judiciary Committee.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi made it official on Friday when unveiling the incoming freshman class committee nominations.
Bush, frequently referred to as a new member of “The Squad,” featuring New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has been at the forefront of racial justice protests. She said she’ll use her new assignment to “affirm the dignity and humanity of Black and brown communities.”
“I ran for office on the promise of justice,” Bush, D-Mo., said in a statement. “Justice for Black lives. Justice for Michael Brown Jr. and Breonna Taylor. Justice for every community held back by racist systems and oppression. Today, I am proud to have been named to a committee with the power to bring about justice for all.”
