When #COVID19 impacted Galena, IL, #HometownHeroes Matt and Mike Blaum, from Blaum Bros' Distillery Company, went above and beyond to help their community. Using their distillery, they made gallons of hand sanitizer to give to hospitals and others in need across the country. https://t.co/QmKb4JycaN — PolitiTweet.org

Our small businesses are still struggling. That’s why I helped pass the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act, to improve this critical program and provide small business owners increased flexibility to retain employees, meet overhead costs & more. https://t.co/pef7kHqPiv — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, I was pleased to announce that MetroLINK will receive nearly $9 million in federal funding. These federal dollars will help MetroLINK get through this public health crisis and support riders in Rock Island County. https://t.co/IVESVPOoyS — PolitiTweet.org

Last week in @AppropsDems, I questioned @CDCdirector about how their own guidelines have led to the transfer of inmates with #COVID19. It’s crucial everyone is tested prior to transfers to protect inmates, staff and the community. https://t.co/l0rqvNFxLx — PolitiTweet.org

We know that fresh food, affordable health care and safe housing can all have a profound effect on quality of life. In @AppropsDems this week, I asked @CDCDirector how these factors impact our communities during the #COVID19 crisis. https://t.co/vFOvihoNiJ — PolitiTweet.org

WATCH: Our communities of color are disparately impacted by social factors – like food deserts and a lack of access to health care – that can negatively affect their health. We must address these systemic issues if we want to improve health in all of our communities. https://t.co/nsO8Mc49GD — PolitiTweet.org

Adequate testing capacity is essential in our fight against the #COVID19 pandemic and we must ensure that anyone who needs a test has access to one. That's why @GovPritzker and I visited the drive-thru testing site located at the Peoria Civic Center today. https://t.co/I2qR1cKW24 — PolitiTweet.org

In Peoria, @GovPritzker, @RepJGB and I joined @tcpulpeoria for a tour of the MacArthur Corridor and a visit to Rumberger's — a local Black-owned restaurant. I thank them for welcoming us this afternoon and for sharing their experiences with us during these difficult times. https://t.co/GbruuLdDkh — PolitiTweet.org

Today, at 2:45PM CST, I will join the @NAACP and others in observing our National Day of Mourning to honor the life of #GeorgeFloyd. I encourage everyone to stop what they are doing and observe a moment of silence for #8minutesand46seconds. — PolitiTweet.org

I will continue to work with Black leaders on the national and local scale towards that change, for an America that is truly equal and free for all. (4/4) — PolitiTweet.org

We must make sure that their calls for justice are heard, and I stand with those marching and speaking out for change. As we move forward, we must all commit to more than words - we must offer action. (3/4) — PolitiTweet.org

While the pandemic has slowed almost everything, it hasn’t stopped systemic racial injustice – it has revealed it. That’s why I support @RepWilson’s legislation to establish a comprehensive study of the societal conditions that disproportionately affect black men in America. — PolitiTweet.org

for #GeorgeFloyd and too many other victims of systemic racial injustice. Let us come together in compassion, understanding and resolve for real change. Through unity — not division — we will step forward, together. (3/3) — PolitiTweet.org

This is not who we are. America needs to hear words of healing and compassion. Instead, our President fanned flames of anguish and division. Many, understandably, fear for their safety. But we cannot let fear stop us from making our voices heard to demand justice (2/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, President Trump declared himself to be a man of law and order, but he acted like a dictator. His administration gassed and shot peaceful protestors with rubber bullets for a photo opportunity and threatened to “dominate” American citizens with military force. (1/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Let me be clear - police brutality is never acceptable. Our first steps must be in acknowledging the harm caused to our communities and working to deliver justice for #GeorgeFloyd, #BreonnaTaylor and so many others. — PolitiTweet.org

The past week and weekend show a nation in pain. We must find the strength to move forward together, but we can only do that when we all work to address systemic racism, together. No one can sit this fight out - it impacts us all and demands the attention of every one of us. — PolitiTweet.org

As a journalist for nearly two decades, I stand with @NewDay reporter @OmarJimenez, who was arrested for doing his job this morning. While I'm glad to see him back delivering the news, these actions are harmful to our democracy and must be called out. — PolitiTweet.org

As the pandemic continues, our medical supply needs to increase as well. I’m proud to see Rockford employees at Global Displays Solutions rise to the challenge & work to create ventilator displays for our hospitals. We must stand together against #COVID19. https://t.co/gVGf67QYne — PolitiTweet.org
