In recent reporting from Chicago, Latino and Black individuals still accounted for 95% of marijuana-related arrests. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

The implications of this hundred-year scare campaign are profound— marijuana policies have disproportionately incarcerated generations of Latino and Black individuals, tearing families apart and derailing lives and careers for minor offenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Since the first anti-marijuana laws & throughout the war on drugs, marijuana policy has been constructed according to racist & anti-immigrant biases. Even the drug’s name ‘marijuana’, was popularized amid efforts to negatively associate the cannabis plant with Mexican immigrants. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Today, I voted for the #MOREAct to decriminalize cannabis and expunge federal cannabis-related convictions. This legislation is a much needed step toward restorative justice and away from over-policing our communities. 🧵Thread below👇🏾 — PolitiTweet.org

Strengthening truck underride guard standards is a common sense way to reduce preventable deaths. I look forward to working with my fellow Members of Congress and advocates like @TruckSafetyOrg to implement the important underride guard provisions in the IIJA. — PolitiTweet.org

On #TransgenderDayOfVisibility we honor and celebrate those who uplift Trans voices.

Today would be #CésarChávez's 95th birthday. I was honored to have César's support early in my career in Chicago, and I will always treasure those special memories. Today, let us reflect on César's work and carry forward his legacy to fight for social change every day. #SíSePuede https://t.co/7WUuuSufXL — PolitiTweet.org

@JamaalBowmanNY @Patsy_selenaa I’ll second that. Patsy was a great addition to my office’s communications team this past fall. She is incredibly smart and talented. Anyone would be lucky to hire her. — PolitiTweet.org

No American should have to choose between paying for lifesaving insulin and other basic necessities like food and rent. This is why I’m supporting the #AffordableInsulinNow Act to lower insulin prices, capping copays to no more than $35 a month for Americans with diabetes. https://t.co/C4Vzev94G1 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been 56 years since #CésarChávez led Latino and Fililpino workers to strike against farmers who were denying them basic rights. We must continue his fight for justice by advancing greater protections and better wages for workers across the board. https://t.co/F3aBQ25BnS — PolitiTweet.org

It’s long overdue for our government to stop using #Title42 as an excuse to expel migrants and refugee seekers at the border, even when public health and immigration experts have repeatedly condemned its use. This was a racist and shameful policy and it must end immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

It's just wrong to cut workers off health insurance for exercising their legal right to strike. I am a proud cosponsor of the Striking Workers Healthcare Protection Act to make it illegal, and meanwhile I call on @wttw to do the right thing and reverse its decision. — PolitiTweet.org
