During the Month of the Military Child, we take a moment to honor the kids who didn't ask for their parents to serve—but sacrifice so much so that their moms and dads can protect the freedoms we cherish. Our gratitude for them knows no bounds. https://t.co/x6yBPBaysa — PolitiTweet.org

No one deserves a toxic shower. No child deserves a cup of water poisoned by lead. No baby deserves a bottle prepared with brown water. In my @Suntimes op-ed, I outlined why we must pass #DWWIA to tackle our water crisis—one outdated pipe at a time. https://t.co/4kpj3nZciX — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Frerichs, an Illinoisan and Veteran, was abducted in Kabul last year. As the Biden Admin looks to withdraw from Afghanistan, I'm glad they're prioritizing Mark's return and I'll keep a close eye on his situation. We don't leave Americans behind. https://t.co/JD2uEaQyo0 — PolitiTweet.org

To the AAPI community—we see you, we stand with you and we will protect you. https://t.co/qsapD8SZaC — PolitiTweet.org

When Illinoisan Hazel Johnson realized her community was a dumping ground for toxic waste, she refused to be silent. Decades later, I'm proud to keep up her legacy for environmental justice as co-founder of the @EJusticeCaucus. This #EarthDay & year-round, be like Hazel Johnson — PolitiTweet.org

The Environmental Justice For All Act and the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act are two sweeping bills I've introduced to help secure environmental justice and health equity for all. On #EarthDay, it's time we send these bills to the President's desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Since then, @EJusticeCaucus and I have brought environmental justice to the forefront of Senate efforts: 🌎Secured historic investments for environmental justice communities in #HEROESAct 🌎Sought major funding increases at @EPA, @Interior and more 🌎Intro'd several new bills! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

On Earth Day two years ago, @SenBooker, @SenatorCarper and I founded the Senate's first-ever @EJCaucus and sent a strong message: Communities of color can no longer suffer through pollution, contaminated water and environmental injustice while those in power look away. https://t.co/BIOEjkGGpb — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Let's be clear: To achieve environmental justice for all, we have to treat every day like Earth Day. Here's what I've done the last two years to move us closer to that reality👇🌎 https://t.co/GEP4sWtqYc — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to have helped secure billions for our caregivers in the American Rescue Plan. Now, President Biden is prioritizing $400 billion more in the American Jobs Plan. Our loved ones deserve to live independently at home if they wish. Care is infrastructure. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Passed! Another step closer to breaking the cycle of discrimination, other-ization and alienation that’s marred our country and scarred the AAPI community for too long. — PolitiTweet.org

As my Senate colleagues head to the floor to vote on the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, let me remind them that standing up for what is right isn’t a partisan matter—it’s an American obligation. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week's @EPAoig report confirmed it: the Trump Admin chose corporate profits over community safety—putting Illinoisans at risk.   The truth may be out, but no one should have endured this. I'm working to ensure this abuse of power never happens again. https://t.co/i0cPR8MudE — PolitiTweet.org

If you're one of the many Americans wondering why in the world Louis DeJoy is still running our postal service, here's a re-cap👇 To fire DeJoy, President Biden must fire DeJoy’s enablers first. https://t.co/Xjpovuo1yT — PolitiTweet.org

The hatred, pain and violence terrorizing the AAPI community demand not just words of condemnation—but swift action. We must pass the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

We should be doing everything we can to help new parents and end preventable deaths, which is why I’m proud to be introducing this bipartisan bill with @senrobportman and @SenBlumenthal that would ban the sale of deadly padded crib bumpers. https://t.co/84TeFnpDqK — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No one should be forced to make their baby's bottle, brush their teeth or take a shower with brown water. My #DWWIA would authorize $35 billion in federal support for water infrastructure projects that will help right this wrong. https://t.co/xwTsxZRvGa — PolitiTweet.org

Today's verdict is only the beginning. In order to make justice the norm rather than the exception and truly bring us closer to achieving equal protection under the law for everyone, Congress must pass the comprehensive George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

George Floyd was murdered at the hands of Derek Chauvin who betrayed his oath to protect and serve. While this verdict won’t bring George Floyd back, it brings his family and our nation closer to some semblance of justice and reminds us all that accountability is still possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We need Ms. Gupta and Ms. Clarke’s leadership at DOJ to energize and inspire the Department as it refocuses on its mission of ensuring the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans. https://t.co/DjHsVvOxYj — PolitiTweet.org
