These steps will move us closer to a more just world. I stand in solidarity with all those demanding justice in the streets in Minneapolis. Together, we will continue our fight to end police brutality.✊🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

We can’t just root out systemic oppression in the criminal justice system — we must also tear down systems of oppression that exist in housing, education, healthcare, employment and the air we breathe. We need to take a holistic approach to combat structural racism. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

After George Floyd’s death, I introduced a series of bills to create stronger accountability for law enforcement and protect protesters. I plan to reintroduce these bills this Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

We must heed the calls from those who are impacted by police brutality daily. That’s why right after the murder of George Floyd I hosted a listening session and continue to hold meetings to hear directly from Black community leaders. https://t.co/FO0jy1skRj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Last week, the House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. This legislation will eliminate qualified immunity for law enforcement, prohibit racial profiling, and ban chokeholds. This is an important step in the right direction, but we can’t stop here. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

For far too long, we have witnessed the people who are sworn to protect our communities abuse their power. As the trial of Derek Chauvin begins, I wanted to share some of the work we are doing to combat police brutality. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

If the United States truly supports freedom of expression, democracy and human rights, there is no reason not to sanction Mohammed bin Salman—a man who approved the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. That’s why I introduced legislation to hold the Crown Prince accountable. https://t.co/r7WNPPd7tj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

As someone who survived civil conflict, I know personally that political violence does not go away on its own. We need dramatic reform to end corruption and restore our democracy. H.R. 1 is a critical step along that path. https://t.co/9rajXqknKp — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Let’s be clear: raising the minimum wage to $15 is already a compromise. We shouldn’t let an unelected official whose role is to advise—block a pay raise for 28 million Americans. Democrats MUST keep the $15 minimum wage in the final COVID package. https://t.co/9eFlARQqJv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

The House just passed #HR1, legislation to end the culture of corruption in Washington. The bill ends the dominance of big money in politics, protects the right to vote, and strengthens campaign finance oversight. We’re going to put power back in the hands of the people.💪🏽 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Today, 10 months after George Floyd’s murder, I had the honor to preside over debate and call the vote ahead of passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. We have an opportunity to address centuries of brutality. Let's seize it. https://t.co/u4wgvbIRFz — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

The situation in Venezuela is dire. People are going without food and medicine—and U.S. sanctions are only making it worse. We cannot allow people to suffer for our own domestic politics. Today, in the @HouseForeign Committee we discussed the challenges facing Venezuela. https://t.co/7bRP5eBajy — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

This week, the House will vote on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. This legislation will eliminate qualified immunity for law enforcement, ban chokeholds, and mandate data collection on police encounters. This is the first step in bringing real change to policing. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Today, I had the honor of chairing a @HouseForeign hearing on elections in Africa. We must ensure Somalia has fair elections and a peaceful transition of power. You can watch my remarks below or the full committee hearing here: https://t.co/LzdLuQJleL https://t.co/t14coQRyKE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

As someone who experienced hunger, I know that going hungry is not a family choice—it's a policy choice. In the richest country in the world, no one should be food insecure. Fighting food insecurity remains one of my top priorities in Congress. https://t.co/MBoEZdaQF3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Every minute Mohammed bin Salman escapes punishment is a moment where U.S. interests, human rights, and the lives of Saudi dissenters are at risk. Today, I introduced legislation to place sanctions on the Crown Prince for his role in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. https://t.co/MKBzxotVbO — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

We must ensure that lobbyists who represent foreign governments operate in full transparency and good faith, so they aren’t able to unduly influence elected officials. Today, I introduced the PAUL Act that will help end the culture of corruption in Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

A single unelected official shouldn’t be able to block a pay raise for 28 million Americans. Proud to join this letter to ensure the $15 minimum wage is included in the COVID relief package. https://t.co/MnzqoO1HcQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

The No Ban Act was just reintroduced in the House yesterday! This bill will ensure no future president can ever ban a group of people from this country based solely on their religion or nationality. It’s time to put the Muslim Ban in the dustbin of history where it belongs. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

Tonight, we are voting on the COVID relief bill that will include a $15 minimum wage. Make no mistake: Providing a raise to 28 million Americans *is* COVID relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan

There must be direct consequences for Mohammed bin Salman and his functionaries. In the coming days, I plan to introduce a bill to place sanctions on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for his role in this and other human rights abuses. https://t.co/IUuyfRKyph — PolitiTweet.org

The Equality Act just passed the House! Today, we are one step closer to a future where every LGBTQ person can live their lives free from the fear of discrimination. Proud to be an original co-sponsor of this legislation.🏳️‍🌈 — PolitiTweet.org
