WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) reintroduced the "Inclusive Campuses Act of 2017" today (H.R.4699) to authorize the use of Title III funds to establish on-campus resource centers for LGBTQ students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving institutions.
Dear Friends,
Today, I vehemently and adamantly voted NO on the Republican tax scam that gives 83 percent of the tax cuts to the wealthiest 1 percent while raising taxes on 86 million middle income families.
