On this #WorldMentalHealthDay let me repeat something: There should be no distinction between mental and physical heath care, and every single American should be covered. It’s simple. — PolitiTweet.org

My People First Plan for Working Families would invest in a 21st Century Safety Net and ensure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share. https://t.co/RBV0ifRjsj — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

I'm very proud to be the first candidate to put out a plan on animal welfare. My Protecting Animals and Wildlife--or PAW plan :)--would advance the welfare of animals and protect endangered species. https://t.co/na7yq9F5f3 — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

I've put forward a plan to disarm hate that would combat the threat of white supremacist terrorism and address the gun violence epidemic in our country. https://t.co/nSGK9kY2NV — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

I believe housing is a human right. Housing shouldn't be a back-burner issue in this election, because it's not a back-burner issue for Americans. My People First Housing plan: https://t.co/ATjPJkckQZ — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Climate change is an existential threat. My People and Planet First plan would get us to net-zero by 2045, create millions of good jobs, and support frontline communities experiencing a changing climate first. https://t.co/8iKMLuzuli — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

My labor plan would empower workers, strengthen the rights of unions for all, and ensure farmworkers and domestic workers have the dignity of a safe, decent job. https://t.co/su2vI89SvE — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Indigenous communities have been subjected to cruelty and neglect at the hands of the federal government. My Indigenous Communities plan would strengthen tribal sovereignty. https://t.co/T3tzoZsmY5 — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

My People First Education Plan would extend and strengthen the federal commitment to our nation's students and teachers--from pre-K through college and beyond. https://t.co/gaTdV8IfpK — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Lead exposure and access to clean water is a persistent threat to communities across the country. My People First Lead Exposure plan would eliminate lead as a major public health threat. https://t.co/oM0jWwvHdD — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

My policing plan would end over-policing, militarization of police departments, and would work to mend the rift that too often exists between police and the communities they represent. https://t.co/w7o9CWJxdi — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

My People First immigration plan represents the antidote to Donald Trump's anti-immigrant agenda. https://t.co/7ZtgyRz4jX — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you so much @ReignOfApril for hosting our #AskJulián Town Hall! I've had a great time answering your questions. You can read more about my campaign and the policies we've put forward by going to https://t.co/iKCQQyv5zE! Here are some highlights: — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is a critical piece of civil rights legislation that has changed lives immeasurably. Unfortunately, we currently only fund 18% of its costs. I'll fully fund it, and fight for every child's education. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Cristián thought the cows at the Iowa State Fair were pretty great—maybe a few of those for the lawn? https://t.co/k5x32BDicH — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

My plan to eliminate lead exposure (the first of its kind) calls for: -$5B a year/10 years for lead remediation -A presidential task force on lead -passing a Home Lead Safety Tax Credit Act -Ensuring consistent standards and testing -Revising Lead & Copper Rule — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Usually on my side, especially if Cristián is kicking me off the bed. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Addressing the injustice of the failed war on drugs means that we must legalize and regulate marijuana, and ensure victims of these policies — a majority of whom were Black and Brown—have their records expunged and are given access to economic development opportunities. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Reproductive rights are under assault in this country. I believe that everyone has the right to an abortion, regardless of their income. I will: -Eliminate the Hyde amendment -Appoint justices that recognize the precedent of Roe v. Wade -End domestic and global gag rules — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Housing is one of the most pressing concerns for Americans. It’s insane that there hasn’t been a housing question in 5 nights of debates—especially as Trump is criminalizing homelessness. I’m calling on @CNN and @nytimes to ask a question on housing in the next debate. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

The issues folks face everyday aren't in silos. Poverty affects education, affects housing, affects health care, affects climate change. We have to connect the dots and address the root causes that affect people's lives. That's how I've addressed policy on this campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

@Castro4Congress @jaketapper Randall Cunningham was just that good! #askJulian — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

That means removing the structural flaws that allowed Trump to separate families in the first place. I've called for repealing the law treating border crossing as a criminal offense, instead of a civil one. We can enforce our laws & treat immigrants with compassion, not cruelty. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Our next president will have their work cut out for them in just undoing what he's done on immigration. But they shouldn't be afraid to be bold and to create a system that doesn't see immigrants as criminals or a threat to national security. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Why would I want to? — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

I knew when I became the first candidate to put out an immigration plan some that would say: 'here's the brown guy supporting brown people.' The Latinx community is often pigeonholed like this—but I won't let Trump target Immigrants without speaking up. #AskJulian — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

I was proud to be the first candidate to put forward a policing reform plan. We can mend the rift that too often exists between police and the communities they serve. You can read more about it here: https://t.co/w7o9CWJxdi — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

The police should serve and protect everyone. But the system wasn't built to work that way. We know police lock up or kill Black and Brown people at a disproportionate rate. We need police reform that will end the disparities and criminal justice reform to end mass incarceration. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

We've all heard the names and seen the videos: Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Laquan McDonald, Pamela Turner, Antonio Arce, and now Botham Jean. What's it going to take for us to act? — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Growing up on the Westside of San Antonio, I saw the distrust between communities of color and the police. I've heard the stories my whole life of police who were too aggressive, or community members who didn't feel safe calling 911. #AskJulián — PolitiTweet.org
