*Ensuring a Pathway to Citizenship for DREAMers & TPS Recipients*

*Rep. Nadler joined House Democrats to introduce legislation banning the
practice of indefinitely separating migrant families at the border.*

Last week, the House Judiciary Committee passed the *Dream Act* and
the *Promise
Act, *which provide a permanent solution to Dreamers, recipients of
Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and recipients of Deferred Enforced
Departure (DED). In my view, the Administration’s decision to dismantle
protections for Dreamers, TPS, and DED recipients have thrown families
across our country into turmoil, fear, and uncertainty. These individuals
are an essential part of our community, and they are critical to building
an American future that is strong, united, and economically and socially
vibrant.

>From its earliest days to the present, I believe the Administration has
pushed a cruel, anti-immigrant agenda that has undermined immigrants’
rights, torn families apart, and forced communities to live under a cloud
of fear and uncertainty. Passing legislation that provides permanent
protection, and a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, TPS and DED
recipients, is a top priority for House Democrats, and I am proud to have
led our Committee in the historic step of passing this legislation and
recommending it to the full House for passage.

*Fighting Construction of the Williams Pipeline in New York Bay*

The catastrophic damage caused by climate change makes it all the more
clear that we need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels now. As the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation was evaluating the
environmental impacts of the Williams pipeline, a 24-mile pipeline that
would transport fracked gas through the Raritan Bay and Lower New York Bay,
I led my fellow New York public officials in sending a letter to Governor
Cuomo expressing our deep opposition to this effort.  If we are going to
protect our environment from harmful pollutants and build a green energy
economy, New York must stop capitulating to the needs of the oil industry.
I was proud to see Governor Cuomo reject the construction of this pipeline,
and I remain committed to fulfilling a Green New Deal for all.

*Reinstating Two-Way Tolling on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge*

*Rep. Nadler, along with Reps. Velázquez and Rose, announced their new
federal initiative to reinstate two-way tolling on the Verrazzno bridge.*

Last month, I joined Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) and Congressman
Max Rose (D-NY) to announce a new federal effort to bring two-way tolling
back to the Verrazzano-Narrows bridge. Reinstating toll collection in both
directions will greatly reduce traffic congestion that has plagued our
neighborhoods, leading to safer streets and better air quality for all New
Yorkers. The MTA has also committed to using this new funding for much
needed investment in mass transit for the residents of South Brooklyn.
After working on this issue for more than two decades, I am thrilled to see
it finally moving forward, and I am committed making sure our efforts are
successful.

*Protecting Pregnant Workers from Workplace Discrimination*

More than 40 years after the passage of the *Pregnancy Discrimination Act,*
pregnant workers are still facing workplace discrimination – in all
industries, across race and ethnicity, and in every state. Too often,
pregnant workers have been placed on unpaid leave or forced out of work
entirely. No woman should have to choose between a healthy pregnancy and a
paycheck, especially when a simple fix—a bottle of water during a shift,
and extra bathroom break, a chair—would allow her to continue to work and
support her family.

After the Mother’s Day holiday, I re-introduced the bipartisan *Pregnant
Workers Fairness Act* requiring employers provide reasonable accommodations
to pregnant women who want to continue working. As of 2019, 25 states have
adopted pregnancy accommodation laws, but current federal laws are leaving
too many women behind. The time for true workplace equality and fairness
for pregnant women is long overdue.
