Today is the 50th anniversary of the war on drugs. Here's why the war on drugs is bullshit. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The war on drugs ratcheted up the criminalization of drug possession and use. It created more mandatory minimum sentences and ever greater racial disparity in arrests and sentencing. It’s time to end it. https://t.co/otpql8nhAE — PolitiTweet.org

If you agree that the people of DC deserve equal rights, take action: Tell your Senator to support S 51 now. https://t.co/DJUOIKdKNk — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

S 51 is a constitutionally sound bill that establishes statehood for DC and ensures full voting rights to the DC residents. The House has already passed this bill. The Senate must follow suit. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Washington, DC has nearly 700k residents, the majority of whom are Black and Brown. All of whom are denied equal voting and representation rights. We need DC statehood. — PolitiTweet.org

Abortion is health care, and our access shouldn’t depend on where we live. The Women’s Health Protection Act can safeguard our right to abortion across the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The use of tickets, fines and fees to fund governments traps people in a cycle of debt and incarceration. Now is the time to stop balancing budgets through minor traffic offenses. https://t.co/dnFURo6i0C — PolitiTweet.org

Take action today to close the digital divide by helping us spread the word about the Emergency Broadband Benefit. https://t.co/8EqRvoaVl4 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Emergency Broadband Benefit provides additional funds to help struggling households afford broadband access. EBB also offers a one-time discount for certain computers or tablets, and additional funding for households on qualifying Tribal lands. — PolitiTweet.org

Inequality in broadband access makes inequalities in employment even worse. With the current state of the digital divide, more than half of Black and Latinx people could be underprepared for more than 86% of jobs by 2045. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Broadband access directly affects children. Broadband is associated with: ✔ higher grades ✔ better school work completion Additionally, children without broadband access miss out on developing digital skills necessary in the job market of today — and tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Those living without broadband access are disproportionately in non-white, low income, or rural communites. There is also a clear discrepancy in access between white people and non-white people. https://t.co/l40qWghepB — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

High speed, reliable internet access has been an important component of social mobility for decades. The pandemic has further pushed schools, workplaces, health care providers, and other basic services online. For people without broadband access, this worsened the inequality. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Millions of people in the United States live without broadband access. This means that millions don't have equal opportunities in education, employment, banking, and other crucial parts of modern life. With this digital divide, we are not equal. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Compassionate release for incarcerated people at high risk of COVID-19 was inconsistently applied — based on the discretion of judges, as opposed to the real risk posed to incarcerated individuals. This injustice likely cost lives. https://t.co/u0RS1UGFk6 — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: We just released a poll showing that 72% of voters in our country support a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. 63% want Congress to pass citizenship legislation as part of a national recovery package. It’s time for the Senate to act. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Happy birthday, DACA. On the the 9th anniversary of these crucial but temporary protections, it’s long past time to provide Dreamers with a permanent pathway to citizenship in the only country they call home. https://t.co/Bzhvo7jCMv — PolitiTweet.org
