I introduced the Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act to address this critical disparity that prevents women vets from having equal access to health care, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure we fix this glaring gap in care for our women vets. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

As the Chairwoman of the Women Veterans Task Force, my goal is to identify disparities in health care for women veterans and introduce, advocate for, and pass legislation that fixes those inequities. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

Women veterans now make up the fastest growing group of veterans enrolling in VA health care. Yet, many of their health needs go unaddressed. This includes accessing basic contraceptive services without a co-pay, which is available to all women using civilian health insurance. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

Recently, @VetAffairsDems launched an investigation into VA’s San Juan medical center due to our concerns about VA’s disaster response capabilities. Today, we are heading to Puerto Rico to assess VA’s disaster response and emergency preparedness efforts to serve our veterans. — PolitiTweet.org

The current federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25/hour for 10 years, the longest period without an increase in U.S. history. Today, I was proud to vote to #RaiseTheWage to $15/hr for millions of working people because everyone deserves a livable wage. https://t.co/WrfI2GYTgB — PolitiTweet.org

Former #SCOTUS Justice John Paul Stevens was a great man who had deep respect for the court and the rule of law. He was a principled thought leader our nation needs more of. https://t.co/ZbNotfuZBT — PolitiTweet.org

Americans have a fundamental right to comprehensive health care and accurate and life-saving health information free from government interference, and I will continue to fight against this Administration’s misguided and dangerous policy. #ProtectX — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

Sadly, the courts are upholding the Trump Administration’s new gag rule on Title X providers, which restricts access to healthcare for those in need, undermines the rights of women, and violates the important bond of trust between patients and providers. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

#TitleX has provided comprehensive reproductive health care including affordable birth control to millions of Americans for over 40 years. — PolitiTweet.org

The #WomenVetsTaskForce, now 72 participating members strong, will continue to increase visibility of the two million women who have served in the U.S. military and promote inclusivity and equitable access to comprehensive healthcare, benefits, education and economic opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

Women veterans are also over-represented in higher education compared to male veterans, and earn degrees at higher levels than non-veteran women. Women veterans are twice as likely to enter #STEM occupations than non-veteran women. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

Women veterans are the fastest growing homeless population in the U.S., and continue to face a pay gap when compared to their male counterparts. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

We learned from @FinalSaluteInc, @IVMFSyracuseU, @Service2School @studentvets and @ffWomenWarriors about economic challenges and opportunities facing #womenvets, including higher education, homelessness, career advancement, and entrepreneurship. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

Last week, I joined @RepMikeLevin in the @VetAffairsDems Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity for a hearing on “Economic Well-Being of Women Veterans” in collaboration with the #WomenVetsTaskForce, which I’m proud to chair. — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud the work The Nature Conservancy and its partners are doing to protect this mosaic of habitats. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

While there are many threats to the river, The Nature Conservancy is using its scientific expertise and its experience in land-use planning to protect and restore the Santa Clara River and its tributaries, restore the wetlands at Ormond Beach, and secure wildlife corridors. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

On a picturesque day in Santa Paula, I recently had the opportunity to tour the Santa Clara River with @nature_org. https://t.co/Ww3XnGKdeU — PolitiTweet.org

I would like to especially thank the countless community members – including the many cancer survivors that kicked off the first laps – that take part in these inspiring and encouraging events in Ventura County! — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

These signature events, which are held in over 5,000 communities across the country, are critical to the continued support for research to improve cancer survival and decrease the incidence of cancer, as well as improving the quality of life for cancer patients & their caretakers — PolitiTweet.org

From climate change to student loan debt to economic inequality, these students are engaged in a number of issues. I was so pleased to hear firsthand about their active civic participation in our community. — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

Summer school is in session! I recently had the opportunity to meet with the students of Mr. Ransom’s government class at @cihs_raiders in Oxnard. We had a lively discussion about the current political climate & what role the federal govt plays in the lives of our nation’s youth. https://t.co/OjXLm9umA0 — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

Racism and xenophobia have no place in our civil discourse. It is deeply disappointing that President Trump continues to utilize hateful, white suprematist rhetoric. His words disgrace the office he holds, and are not reflective of our nation’s values. https://t.co/x8KgOhbOFt — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

I am also pleased that the NDAA included three amendments I authored that support @NBVCCalifornia, ensure continued funding for critical firefighting response aircraft, and address gender equity in our Armed Forces. Read more about these amendments here ⬇ https://t.co/OOvjIFHlPI — PolitiTweet.org

Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

I voted for the #NDAA b/c it includes a well-earned 3.1% pay raise for military personnel, important provisions to respond to Russian aggression, prevents use of military funds to pay for an unnecessary border wall & reasserts Congressional authority over use of military force. — PolitiTweet.org
