Frederica Wilson calls for action on hostages and Haiti

Rep. Frederica Wilson, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida’s 24th district since 2011, shared a series of tweets addressing various social and political issues. Born in Miami, Florida, Wilson is an experienced politician with a history of service in both the Florida Senate and House of Representatives.

On December 5, 2024, Rep. Wilson tweeted about the significance of "#WearBlueWednesday," emphasizing the need to address ongoing hostage situations: "Every Wednesday is #WearBlueWednesday because enough is enough. It’s time we #BringBackTheHostages!"

Later that day, she commemorated the Montgomery Bus Boycott's anniversary by highlighting Rosa Parks' role in igniting a crucial protest against racial segregation: "Sixty-nine years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began, ignited by Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat. This courageous act sparked a pivotal 13-month protest that helped challenge racial segregation and advance the Civil Rights Movement. Today, we honor their legacy."

On December 6, 2024, Rep. Wilson addressed the urgent situation in Haiti by joining discussions with congressional colleagues and stakeholders to explore ways to provide support: "Haiti is suffering, and we need to support them ASAP. I joined my congressional colleagues, State Department officials and key stakeholders to discuss how we can help. I thank @RepMaxineWaters for hosting today's discussion because Haiti cannot wait any longer."
