WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 09: House Oversight and Reform Committee member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) attends a hearing about the 2020 census in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill January 09, 2020 in Washington, DC. The committee heard testimony about ‘hard-to-reach’ communities and how the federal government could work to gather better census data from under-reported groups like Asian Americans, Native Americans, African Americans and recent immigrants.

Rashida Tlaib

If you think Alexandria Ocasio-Ortez is impressive and a woman making history, then you already know that Rashida Tlaib is as well. In fact, much like AOC, Tlaib has already made history as both women were the “first female members of Democratic Socialists of America to serve in Congress.”

Impressive right there, it is hard to deny that Rashida Tlaib is a history-making woman thanks to her political standpoints. She has fought in favor of eliminating the U.S. Immigrations department, a standpoint that has definitely drawn just as much criticism as it has praise.

She is a strong supporter of women’s rights, which includes the rights of women looking to have an abortion. She has been a strong supporter of the organization NARAL, which is a non-profit pro-choice group.

Tlaib has been an extremely active member of Congress alongside AOC, putting herself out there to be a voice for the people. And while she may not be quite as in the public eye as her contemporary (by that I mean that she isn’t hitting up the MET Gala to make political fashion statements), she is still doing her part to be a game-changer in the government. Rashida Tlaib is using her voice and her platform to make a difference, and it is hard to deny that she is a history maker.
