This week, Speaker Pelosi led a bicameral Congressional Delegation to Madrid, Spain for the 2019 United Nations Framework on Climate Change #COP25. Upon returning to D.C., Speaker Pelosi addressed the nation announcing that the House of Representatives will move forward with drafting articles of impeachment and on Friday, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, which restores the full strength of the landmark Voting Rights Act.

At #COP25, the bicameral delegation held multiple meetings with heads of state, parliament and also met separately with international, U.S. and faith-based NGOs, where they discussed shared priorities in fighting the climate crisis and learned more about their critical efforts.

On Thursday, Speaker Pelosi addressed the nation: “The President is a continuing threat to our democracy and leaves us no choice but to act. I am asking our Chairmen to proceed with articles of impeachment.” December 5, 2019 (Photo by Julio Obscura)

On Friday, House Democrats held a press conference moments before the House passed H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act. This bill restores the full strength of the Voting Rights Act after the Supreme Court’s Shelby v. Holder decision gutted the Act, unleashing a flood of partisan voter suppression laws.
