As we recognize the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we see that today—decades after this landmark bill became law—the right to vote for so many across our nation is still at risk. It is on all of us to stand up for our democracy and pass new voting rights legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

I am devastated by the sudden passing of my friend Richard Trumka. Throughout his remarkable life and through his leadership at @AFLCIO, Richard has been a powerful voice for working families across our nation. He will be deeply missed by so many. — PolitiTweet.org

Officers Gunther Hashida and Kyle DeFreytag are heroes who bravely answered the call to protect the Capitol and defend our democracy on January 6th. Praying for them and their loved ones during this difficult time.    https://t.co/J1JDC02d3g — PolitiTweet.org

Marijuana reform is backed by Americans of all backgrounds, in red states and blue states. We can come together to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Let's not forget that New Jersey is the state with the highest population per capita in the country... in other words, everyone wants to live here! Happy #NationalNewJerseyDay! #JerseyPride — PolitiTweet.org

We have delayed infrastructure investment for too long. We need to act now. https://t.co/T2nekFoPRS — PolitiTweet.org

Emmett Till would have turned 80 today. His life was cut short by white supremacists when he was just 14 years old. Today violence against Black lives remains a national emergency that we must confront by changing our laws—including passing our Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

For the first time ever, the Senate Majority Leader supports a bill to end the federal prohibition of marijuana—this is a big deal. That support will help us build momentum for our bill and make significant progress on the issue. Help us get there. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

The War on Drugs has been a war on people—particularly people of color. Before we move on a bill that will largely benefit industry we must take care of the people most impacted by our failed marijuana policies. This doesn’t have to be an either or proposition. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

This is not about headlines, this is about justice. Now that our discussion draft has been released we will work hard to build support for our bill and take feedback from stakeholders, industry, and advocates. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Our bill would create an Opportunity Trust Fund that will fund three grant programs to create opportunity for those harmed by our failed drug war. We must provide resources to small minority-owned marijuana businesses and diversify the market. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Our bill would solve the banking issue by descheduling marijuana. Also, our legislation would allow small marijuana businesses with less than $20 million in sales annually to get a 50 percent reduction in their tax rate, via a tax credit. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

We cannot enact marijuana reform without real restorative justice for those most harmed by the drug war. Red states and blue states are leading the way and legalizing marijuana. It is time for the federal government to catch up. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

The cannabis industry must become more diverse and our bill would help achieve that. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Restorative justice is a critical component of our bill which would create an Opportunity Trust Fund from tax revenue generated from marijuana sales & reinvest that money in communities most impacted by the failed drug war. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Our bill would deschedule marijuana, thereby ending the federal prohibition. In other words, our legislation would legalize marijuana at the federal level. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Our bill requires a motion to be filed with the sentencing court by the individual, BOP, attorney for the gov’t, or the court. In the case where an individual is indigent our bill requires counsel be appointed to represent him/her. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

That is not to mention that our bill would take tax revenue generated from the sale of marijuana and reinvest that money into communities most impacted by the War on Drugs. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Our bill would deschedule marijuana, which solves the banking issue. Additionally, our legislation would allow small marijuana producers with less than $20 million in sales annually to get a 50 percent reduction in their tax rate, via a tax credit. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Red states and blue states across the country are legalizing marijuana. This issue has bipartisan support and we will work to translate that into bipartisan support in Congress. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Our legislation would create a Cannabis Opportunity Program run by the Small Business Administration which would make loans to assist small businesses in the marijuana industry owned by individuals unfairly impacted by the War on Drugs. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Our bill would allow people who are in federal prison for a marijuana offense to receive a resentencing. Our bill also allows for federal marijuana crimes to be expunged. These are critical provisions of our bill. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

Now that a discussion draft of our legislation has been released we will start having conversations with the White House to get them behind our proposal. #MarijuanaJustice — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

It’s going to take all of us to root out and confront white supremacist hate around this country. I’m grateful for my friend @CoriBush and her leadership and conviction to speak her truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Cory Booker @CoryBooker

My friend and colleague @ChrisMurphyCT’s book “The Violence Inside Us” is a powerful read to better understand the gun violence epidemic that plagues this country. https://t.co/dIF5z8E91h — PolitiTweet.org
