If you want to learn more about the S.O.S. Act, you can read the full press release below. https://t.co/DY2mbUeJQG — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Surcharge reform enjoys international support: Last year the IMF’s G-24 group of countries recommended that the Fund suspend, reform, or eliminate surcharges. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Argentina will pay more than three billion dollars to the IMF in surcharge fees between 2018 and 2023– enough to vaccinate every Argentine nine times against COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Ukraine owes tens of millions of dollars to the IMF in these surcharge fees each month, and it will have paid half a billion dollars in surcharges by the end of next year. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

The IMF imposes “surcharge fees” to countries that hold large loans or owe for a long time. These charges are above and beyond regular loan and interest payments. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Today along with @RepJayapal I am introducing the Stop Onerous Surcharges (S.O.S.) Act, which would direct the @USTreasury to support a review of the IMF's surcharge policy and a pause on surcharges for the duration of the review. This would help @Ukraine at a time of great need. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Inflation means pain for my constituents, but it's profit for big business. I was shocked to hear corporate execs admit to price gouging the Latino community to make up for lost sales, and I joined @FSCDems today to talk about taking on corporate greed. https://t.co/tcKMEkIYQ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Listen to Tío Bernie– Rising gas prices are hurting working class families, while making the gas companies and their CEO's richer. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 @CTA is getting an additional $118.4 million in federal funding thanks to the American Rescue Plan. This additional funding will ensure that CTA can keep operating trains and buses and keep their workers and passengers safe as we come out of the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Women will continue to shape the future! #WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/Fu6aYUdlxx — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

These trailblazing women are an example of what leadership looks like. They have shown that when we have more women in positions of power, more transformational ideas are brought to the table. https://t.co/Efaek6n14H — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

This #InternationalWomensDay, we recognize women in public service including in our progressive coalition. From passing emergency housing relief to creating cultural districts to preserve our history & legacy, these local elected officials put their communities first! https://t.co/OBLVqjcPT4 — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

At long last. It's been 67 years since Emmett Till was murdered. The #AntilynchingAct now goes to @POTUS to be signed into law making lynching a federal hate crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Our country is a nation of immigrants & today we celebrate one of them. Casimir Pulaski, originally from Poland, fought for independence both in Pulaski’s home country and later during the American Revolution. Today, we also recognize the many contributions of Polish-Americans! — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

The safety of the air our children breathe while they ride a school bus is a matter of public health and common sense. We need to make sure we prioritize deploying clean buses and trucks in communities that are disproportionately affected by air pollution and environmental racism — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Today’s announcement of new actions by the Biden Administration to accelerate clean transit buses, school buses, and trucks is welcome news, especially for children in communities impacted by environmental injustices like the ones I represent in Chicago. https://t.co/GtCmzyRL1J — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

As an immigrant who first came to America in 1965, I stand on the shoulders of giants like the late Congressman John Lewis who fought to remove obstacles for Black and Latinos to have full access to the ballot box. We must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to honor his legacy — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

On March 7, 1965, civil rights advocates marched across the Edmund Pettis Bridge beginning their journey from Selma to Montgomery, AL, to speak out against intolerance and oppression, and in support of the Voting Rights Act. We honor these heroes and their legacy 57 years later. https://t.co/hY8S2Sztjy — PolitiTweet.org

@LaurenMack108 @WhiteHouse @POTUS We just need one shining moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

As the @WhiteHouse and @POTUS look to continue the pause on Student loans started in March 2020 to consider a strategy to #CancelStudentDebt, we are asking for a #MarchMadness moment for all students past and present, by cancelling their student loan debt. https://t.co/dwSbhTc5na — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Our focus this time of year is often on the success of student athletes, but I am focusing on the 99% of students not on a full-ride scholarship. As we approach the NCAA #MarchMadness tournament, one week from today, I am calling on @POTUS to take action to #CancelStudentDebt. — PolitiTweet.org
