Rosa DeLauro, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut's 3rd district, recently shared her thoughts on several significant topics through social media posts. Her tweets reflect on Black History Month, the legacy of Rosa Parks, and her stance on international issues.

On February 4, 2025, DeLauro commemorated Black History Month by acknowledging the contributions of Black Americans to various facets of American life. She stated, "This Black History Month, we honor and recognize the extraordinary achievements of Black Americans in every part of American life, culture, and history." DeLauro emphasized that these contributions have made the country a better place.

Later that day, she paid tribute to Rosa Parks on what would have been her 112th birthday. In her tweet posted at 21:00 UTC, DeLauro highlighted Parks' role in the civil rights movement and noted her enduring influence. She wrote, "Her courage and persistence have encouraged generations of change and progress." She further remarked that Parks’ legacy serves as a reminder that "the fight for civil rights is a movement, not a moment."

As an advocate for peace in the region, she reiterated her support for a two-state solution and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza. Criticizing former President Trump's actions as distractions from these goals, she stated, "President Trump’s distraction takes us further away from this and our ultimate goal of regional stability and peace."
