Actress Amy Schumer announced her pregnancy by endorsing a number of Democrat candidates on Instagram Monday.

“About to announce some exciting news on @jessicayellin insta page. Please follow her for up to the minute #newsnotnoise she breaks down what’s really going on. She agreed to post a lil noise today for me! Follow her and VOTE!!” Amy Schumer wrote in an Instagram post.

Following her link to veteran reporter Jessica Yellin’s Instagram page, you can view her story which contains an iPhone screenshot listing a number of candidates that Amy Schumer endorses, including Democrats Kirsten Gillibrand, Andrew Gillum, and Beto O’Rourke.

At the bottom of the note, Schumer simply wrote, “I’m pregnant-Amy Schumer.”

The 37-year-old actress most recently made headlines for saying that white NFL players who don’t kneel during the National Anthem are “complicit” in racism.

“I wonder why more white players aren’t kneeling. Once you witness the truly deep inequality and endless racism people of color face in our country, not to mention the police brutality and murders. Why not kneel next to your brothers? Otherwise how are you not complicit?” the Inside Amy Schumer star said.

Friday thought. I wonder why more white players aren’t kneeling. Once you witness the truly deep inequality and endless racism people of color face in our country, not to mention the police brutality and murders. Why not kneel next to your brothers? Otherwise how are you not complicit? I think it would be cool if @maroon5 backed out of super bowl like @badgalriri Did. I personally told my reps I wouldn’t do a Super Bowl commercial this year. I know it must sound like a privilege ass sacrifice but it’s all i got. Hitting the nfl with the advertisers is the only way to really hurt them. I know opposing the nfl is like opposing the nra. Very tough, but don’t you want to be proud of how you’re living? Stand up for your brothers and sisters of color. And the hottest thing a guy can do is get down on one knee. Not to propose but to reject the treatment of his teammates by this country. Anyone who says its disrespectful to our military please read up on the fact that a lot of veterans are proud of what @kaepernick7 is doing and fully support him. What are your thoughts?

The Trainwreck star also attended anti-Brett Kavanaugh protests in Washington D.C., agreeing to be arrested outside the Supreme Court.

In case you forgot about Schumer protesting, she uploaded a commemorative video of herself protesting on Twitter.
