Rep. Shontel Brown, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Ohio’s 11th district, has expressed her views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets on February 13, 2025. Her statements address concerns regarding women's rights, anti-discrimination legislation, and workers' rights.

On February 13, 2025, Rep. Brown tweeted: "I will not stand by while this administration undermines the rights of women, Black Americans, and marginalized communities." This tweet highlights her stance against perceived threats to the rights of various groups under the current administration.

Later that day, she announced legislative efforts in collaboration with another congressman: "Proud to introduce legislation with @RepRaskin to codify Civil Rights-era anti-discrimination protections that Trump rescinded back into law." This initiative aims to restore protections that were previously rescinded during former President Trump's tenure.

In a subsequent tweet posted on February 13, 2025, Rep. Brown emphasized her commitment to labor rights: "As a member of the @Labor_Caucus, I’m fighting to protect workers’ rights and stop union-busting." She criticized actions taken by former President Trump regarding Gwynne Wilcox's dismissal and called for her reinstatement as part of her advocacy for worker protections.
