I understand we must act now to address the root causes of inequities & reform our justice system so it works for every American. We must take this moment & transform it into effective action to address racism, to promote justice & to ensure equal protection under the law. 6/7 — PolitiTweet.org

For too long, injustices against people of color have persisted & the brutal murders of George Floyd & Breonna Taylor are just the latest in our long national history of oppression—from slavery to Jim Crow to denial of the right to vote that persists even today. (5/7) — PolitiTweet.org

I understand that what happened to George Floyd was not an anomaly. His death was part of a pattern—years and years of police brutality, systematic oppression, and painful inaction. (4/7) — PolitiTweet.org

I understand that our constitution guarantees the right to assemble, and that @repjohnlewis did not dedicate his career to fighting for equality just to have the President assault peaceful protesters with tear gas and rubber bullets. (3/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

But what I do understand, is that those demonstrating are showing us the depth of the pain across our country from the years of systemic racism at every level of society and our failure to provide equal justice before the law. (2/7) — PolitiTweet.org

People of color deserve better. America deserves a leader who will bring us together, not a leader who torments peaceful demonstrators and tirelessly tries to tear us apart. https://t.co/m5ctVyV9KI — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

Am I surprised that instead of showing any semblance of empathy or leadership, the President has spent the week inciting violence? Am I surprised that for the sake of a pointless photo op, the President assaulted Americans demonstrating peacefully w/ tear gas & rubber bullets? https://t.co/KRAx8h0138 — PolitiTweet.org

Because of our collective failure, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and so many others were murdered by the very people whose job it was to protect them. Their community is angry. Americans are angry. I am angry. We need change, NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

George Floyd was killed by a member of law enforcement. But George Floyd was not just killed by a member of law enforcement, he was also killed by our collective FAILURE to say enough is enough and take meaningful action. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

At moments like these, it’s clear we must take action. We must also look inwards, listen more, and lead with love. #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/0UaWJAAzPd — PolitiTweet.org

Before we go about our evenings, let us pause to remember the lives lost to #COVID19–our fathers, mothers, neighbors, nurses, grandparents, brothers, sisters, doctors, frontline heroes, children. All Americans. All valued members of our communities. We will #NeverForget. https://t.co/MCj1ouGWYZ — PolitiTweet.org

The IMF report stated that climate stress testing is “essential to better assess physical risk.” We must pass #HR5194 the #ClimateChange Financial Risk Act w/ @SenBrianSchatz to develop and implement these analyses. https://t.co/KTpQQaEeWO — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

IMF report found that “Climate change physical risk does not appear to be reflected in global equity valuations.” Investors need more information about climate risk and that is why I introduced #HR3623 the Climate Risk Disclosure Act with @SenWarren. https://t.co/KTpQQaEeWO — PolitiTweet.org
