Congresswoman Nikema Williams has been a fierce advocate for social justice, women and families throughout her political and professional career.
As a Member of Congress, Congresswoman Williams continues to uplift the legacy of her mentor and predecessor, Congressman John Lewis, by fighting to prevent voter suppression and expand free and fair access to the ballot box.
She always centers the voices of those who are most marginalized. She brings this concern to Congress having seen firsthand how women and people of color continue to fight for racial and social justice in our country.
To build an economy that truly works for all – one that addresses income inequality, economic immobility, and the racial wealth gap – we must have strong labor protections. I first joined the United Food and Commercial Workers Union in high school while I was working at Food Lion, and in Congress, I will always partner with my friends in labor to promote and protect workers’ rights. As a member of the Congressional Labor Caucus, I am committed to fighting for high-paying jobs, safe working conditions, workers’ rights to organize, and ensuring that all people realize the benefits of an inclusive economy.
