In Mexico, I look forward to discussing issues important to my constituents, including our overall strategy to address immigration reform, respect for human rights, and finding solutions to violence that don’t focus on the failed strategy of increased militarization. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Mexico and Colombia are key partners to the US, because of trade and because of the millions of people living in our country who trace their roots back to either of those countries. I look forward to discussing President Petro's progressive agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the #InflationReductionAct, when families need to replace AC, water heaters, or furnaces, they can save up to 30% with tax credits for energy efficient appliances and equipment that will save them hundreds of $$ on utility bills. https://t.co/K8xojCiuFW — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Thanks for all the work you do raising awareness about the importance of #SocialSecurity for the disability community, @morethanmySLE. In my district almost 10K workers with disabilities are recipients of this vital benefit. we must protect it from the GOP plans to undermine it. https://t.co/FzcOuHTva7 — PolitiTweet.org

Continuaré trabajando con mis colegas y nuestras contrapartes en el gobierno mexicano para ayudar a abordar la actual crisis de desapariciones en México y ayudar a que las familias de los desaparecidos encuentren un cierre. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Reconocer que la desaparición de los estudiantes de #Ayotzinapa fue un “crimen de Estado” es un primer paso, aún después de 8 años, hacia la rendición de cuentas, pero aún queda mucho por hacer. https://t.co/XCpdbeSpLG — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

I will continue to work with my colleagues, and our counterparts in the Mexican government, to help address Mexico's ongoing disappearance crisis and help find closure for families of the disappeared. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Recognizing that the #Ayotzinapa students’ disappearance was a “crime of the state” is a long overdue first step toward accountability, but more remains to be done. https://t.co/i6PgoCL24P — PolitiTweet.org

Discrimination has no place in our society. If your door is open for business, it should be open for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

This is an important victory for the #Memphis7 and for all Starbucks workers! When workers fight, we all win. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

I condemn the Israeli military's most recent attacks on Palestinian human rights and civil society orgs. Silencing human rights defenders is an attempt to avoid accountability, and the U.S. should immediately condemn these violent efforts to undermine their work. #StandWithThe6 — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

The cancellation of debt for ITT Tech students shows that it can be done. The Biden Administration can#CancelStudentDebt. This is a great step forward. Now cancel all student debt before the end of the month. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Talked to LGBTQ+ advocates about our efforts in Congress to get supplemental $$$ to address Monkeypox, including distributing vaccines, launching culturally competent public health campaigns, and expanding our testing capacity, while fighting bigotry against the LGBTQ+ community. https://t.co/jykkgx9e3C — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Monkeypox is a public health emergency, and we all must do our part to protect the American people. Learn more about monkeypox here: https://t.co/EflZXw2LfY https://t.co/dYbAt4hC6F — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Los adultos mayores latinos, afroamericanos y de bajos ingresos con Medicare, como muchos en mi distrito, se beneficiarán desproporcionadamente al bajar el costo de medicamentos recetados. Ya no tendrán que omitir dosis o dividir píldoras gracias a la #LeydeReduccióndeInflación. https://t.co/yIGlxMoOqN — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

In just 16 more days, student loan payments are set to resume. @POTUS has the power to change people’s lives with the stroke of his pen and #CancelStudentLoans. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Latino, Black and low income seniors on Medicare, like many in my district, will benefit disproportionately from lower Rx drug costs. No more skipping doses or splitting pills! That’s why I voted for the #InflationReductionAct. https://t.co/jWyhHklQhw — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Our nation's most vulnerable—seniors, women, people of color, people with disabilities—rely on Social Security. I support #SocialSecurity2100 because I want to make sure this program serves our country well for years to come! https://t.co/pbn3tPWZTb — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Today at the Guy C. Guerine Senior Center in Melrose Park, IL I gave a federal update, shared resources and heard from seniors about their experiences with #SocialSecurity. https://t.co/zS5qWYLhIA — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

#DACA began receiving applications 10 yrs ago, and we still have a temporary program. Thank you @_mariocarrillo_ for sharing your wife's story. We must end the filibuster and pass a permanent solution that recognizes the contributions of those who are American in all but paper. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Democrats have a plan to protect and enhance #SocialSecurity, while Republicans want to privatize, cut & even end this program! To celebrate 87 years, we must pass Social Security 2100: A Sacred Trust to ensure this program serves our country for years to come! https://t.co/NQcsRDjcVv — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Millions of Americans rely on their hard-earned Social Security checks to get by each month and many more are counting on those benefits as they work to secure their retirement. That’s why I will always fight to protect your Social Security. Happy 87th birthday, Social Security! — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

A college education used to be the path to prosperity and a better life. Now it’s the path to a lifetime of debt. We must #CancelStudentDebt now. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

and contribute to build a future of justice and healing for our brothers and sisters of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

I am proud to have introduced The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Shab-eh-nay Band Reservation Settlement Act of 2022, with @RepUnderwood. This bipartisan effort will right a historic wrong against the tribal community — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

It has been far too long since the US government unlawfully forced the Potawatomi Nation out of its land and sold it. There is no doubt that the Potawatomi Nation deserves a home in Dekalb County and it’s way past time to return what is rightfully theirs. https://t.co/6ygOi29zPr — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

However, the Inflation Reduction Act represents a historic investment in health and climate priorities that will benefit working class families like the ones I represent. I applaud the bill’s passage and look forward to President Biden signing it into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

To be clear, this bill does not do enough, alone, to address the climate crisis. Nor does it tackle many of the other key issues I have pushed for in previous reconciliation packages, like immigration reform, affordable housing, and universal childcare. — PolitiTweet.org
