If you’re healthy and able, now is a great time to give back to those in need amid this public health crisis. If you’re looking for ways to get involved throughout Illinois, visit: https://t.co/rs5zmCVLnv @ServeIllinois — PolitiTweet.org

Jessica volunteered at her local food pantry to help those in need. Communities are struggling to keep up with increased demand for essential goods and our food pantries are strained. https://t.co/xgMuGnrZ8Q — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsten donated blood, which is desperately needed right now to make sure we have an ample supply for health providers to treat people during #COVID19, with @RedCross https://t.co/xyRXqR490B — PolitiTweet.org

In Springfield, Cameron spends a few mornings a week delivering breakfasts and lunches to kids from her local school district whose caregivers don’t have access to transportation to pick up their meals. — PolitiTweet.org

During this #NationalVolunteerWeek, I'm proud of everyone who has stepped up to help out their communities in this time of need during #COVID19, including several members of my team. Here are some of the ways they've been giving back: — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud of the work we've done over the past year to raise awareness of the issues these communities face—& our work doesn't stop here. Together, we will continue to be strong advocates for every person’s right to a safe, healthy and livable environment. https://t.co/hNgsEyFOfs — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why 1 year ago today, @SenBooker, @SenatorCarper & I started the Senate’s first Environmental Justice Caucus to raise awareness of the fact that communities of color face public health challenges at alarming rates while too many look the other way. https://t.co/r018KQZYBT — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Every American has the right to breathe safe air, drink clean water and live on uncontaminated land regardless of their zip code, the size of their wallet & the color of their skin. All too often that is not the case, especially for low income communities and people of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The $ authorized by the CARES Act is a good first step in helping IL & local governments hardest hit by #COVID19. I’ll keep working with @SenatorDurbin to ensure more federal resources are allocated to help Illinoisans during this pandemic https://t.co/f6QYVlgh9o — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

After a week of stonewalling, Republicans finally joined Democrats to support emergency funding for hospitals & health care workers on the frontlines of the #COVID19 pandemic in addition to struggling #smallbusinesses. Read my statement on today’s deal: https://t.co/p61p0stLfq — PolitiTweet.org

And for my fellow Veterans, the Veterans Crisis Line has resources available online and by calling, texting or asking Siri to connect you to the Veterans Crisis Line: https://t.co/l9MfOgSsno — PolitiTweet.org

If you or someone you know is struggling to cope, you can get help by privately accessing online resources, and calling or texting expert professionals: https://t.co/vNXyByqtZB — PolitiTweet.org

Physically distancing ourselves doesn’t have to mean we’re socially isolated – connecting with friends & loved ones is more important than ever right now – and it’s important we all #BeThere for ourselves and one another. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The stress and uncertainty we’re all experiencing right now aren't easy, and there’s no shame in saying the measures we’re taking to prevent the spread of #COVID19 can be painful. Financial stress, health concerns & isolation are difficult & may leave us feeling helpless. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why I announced legislation with @SenatorDurbin to create a new #COVIDー19 special enrollment period that will help ensure anyone who wants insurance is able to purchase it. https://t.co/2SyS3KIwQa — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The deadly #COVIDー19 pandemic does not discriminate between individuals who have health insurance coverage and those who don’t. During this public health crisis, it’s in every American’s interest that we ensure those who need care are able to access it—and afford it. — PolitiTweet.org

“More deaths, no benefit” is a succinct way to explain what can happen when people listen to Donald Trump. https://t.co/mgByWxYaGf — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @SenatorDurbin to announce more than $108 million in federal support that helps @GovPritzker support Illinois students and schools in need right now. Read more here: https://t.co/WR2hzeVTX1 — PolitiTweet.org

Especially as our nation pulls together to stop the spread of #COVID19, service to your fellow Americans can take many forms. The Corporation for National & Community Service is committed to helping our nation get through this public health crisis https://t.co/7Tm8wnq3V2 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Service in this country isn’t limited to picking up a rifle to defend our democracy. American service can also mean picking up a soup spoon to feed the less fortunate, a piece of chalk to teach low-income kids or a hammer to rebuild a home destroyed by a wildfire. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#OTD in 2009, President Obama signed into law the Kennedy Serve America Act—bringing about a new focus on what service looks like in our country and how we *all* have a role to play. — PolitiTweet.org

As we continue to grapple with the #COVID19 pandemic, it's critical we ensure the safety of the nation’s food supply and protect essential workers in the food supply chain. I joined my colleagues to ask the administration to take action on this now: https://t.co/I2IxNAH4oo — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why I wrote to @SenSchumer and @senatemajldr requesting funding for these communities in the next relief package. https://t.co/L6HYAC3Ckf — PolitiTweet.org

Environmental justice communities are especially vulnerable to #COVIDー19 since they often experience much higher rates of underlying health conditions, such as asthma and diabetes. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why there is bipartisan frustration from Governors Pritzker, Hogan and others over the Trump administration’s incompetent and inefficient response to the deadly #COVID19 pandemic that has taken the lives of more than 42,000 Americans and counting. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Governors don’t have the luxury of being able to simply proclaim “anyone who wants a test, can get a test” – regardless of whether that is a fact or a blatant lie. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Democratic and Republican Governors alike are simply asking that the Trump administration act with competence and urgency to help them marshal the resources to effectively respond to the #COVID19 public health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
