We need economic justice in our country. Now is the time to give all working people more power, put an end to corporate abuse of workers, and grow union membership across the United States by passing the #PROAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I'm introducing a bill with @ChrisVanHollen and @RepDebDingell to create a National Climate Bank and accelerate the momentum of the green economy. We can create millions of green jobs, reduce carbon emissions, and eliminate the injustices associated with the climate crisis. https://t.co/y8Inj8h4ED — PolitiTweet.org

On his first day in office, President Biden placed a temporary moratorium on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and prioritized Tribal sovereignty in use, management, and conservation of the coastal plain. Now we must make these protections permanent. https://t.co/5LuGhIsG3R — PolitiTweet.org

2020 marked the deadliest year for gun violence in the last 20 years. @RepMaloney and I have reintroduced our bill to fund $50 million in gun violence research at the CDC every year for the next five years so we can address this ongoing public health crisis and save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 is not the first coronavirus or the last. We need to invest $1 billion in research funding to find a universal coronavirus vaccine that will contain the next global biothreat and prevent this unimaginable loss from every happening again. https://t.co/t0Wlzdpn9g — PolitiTweet.org

In December, Republicans blocked the funding needed to get every student in America connected to the internet. Now they're out of power. It's up to us to use our majority to fund the E-Rate program so that 12 million children don't get left behind. https://t.co/cR1xbXhepC — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

12 million students still lack internet access at home. They are disproportionally from communities of color, low-income households, Tribal lands, and rural areas. The FCC can and must leverage the E-Rate program to get these students the Wi-Fi hotspots they need to get online. https://t.co/vR8lf7b4Vg — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

President Biden can cancel $50,000 of student debt for every borrower today and deliver urgently needed relief for millions of people. I stand with @SenSchumer, @SenWarren, and @RepPressley in calling on the president to #CancelStudentDebt. https://t.co/EVvkSjh3rE — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Joe Biden's Department of @Interior just announced that the Vineyard Wind project is back on track—a big win for Massachusetts, clean energy, and our fight against the climate crisis. We're going to keep working to swiftly and responsibly develop this next-generation industry. https://t.co/g7HYYsx76n — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is an existential threat and must be at the forefront of FEMA's planning and mission. All agency policies, plans, programs, strategies, and operations must center climate change if we are to effectively respond to and avert climate disasters across the country. https://t.co/0SPGdErGKK — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook allowed groups to organize and coordinate violent and anti-democratic efforts on its platform for years and, despite Mark Zuckerberg's commitment to me, continued to recommend these groups to users. The company now pledges to put a stop to it. I will be watching closely. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

After years of neglect, dismissal, and insult from the Trump administration, the people of Puerto Rico are receiving badly needed climate resiliency and recovery aid from President Biden. A step in the right direction for an island that has been through so much. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We have a moral obligation to provide safety, dignity, and opportunity to immigrants. A National Office of New Americans will create a welcoming and inclusive system for all and provide the support and resources new Americans need in order to thrive in the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Last week I spoke with @LindaT_G, Joe Biden's nominee for ambassador to the United Nations and asked her about what the US can do to address the needs of climate refugees and those fleeing conflict in Ethiopia. https://t.co/8wtZatOdLx — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The people of Russia have the right to peaceful assembly and free speech, but they are being intimidated and silenced by their government. I join with @SecBlinken in calling for the release of Alexey Navalny and the thousands of Russian citizens who have been wrongly arrested. — PolitiTweet.org

All of Burma’s people deserve representation and the right to live freely. The same military leaders who have committed Genocide against the Rohingya cannot be allowed to hijack Burma’s democratic progress nor be able to repeat their atrocities again. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Illegal actions by the Burmese military to subvert democracy are unacceptable. The military must release all political prisoners, including State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, restore communications, and respect the results of legal elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

President Biden delivered on his promise to extend the New START Treaty a full 5 years, keep inspectors' eyes on Russia’s strategic nuclear weapons, and avert a 21st century arms race. We now need more bold action to remove the ‘nuclear sword of Damocles’ that hangs over us all. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I applaud President Biden for rescinding Trump’s global gag rule which cruelly blocked global funding for reproductive health care. We must ensure future presidents cannot reinstall this harmful policy, which is why I am a proud supporter of @SenatorShaheen's Global H.E.R. Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Every step of our national vaccination strategy needs to address health disparities experienced by Black and Brown communities. @RepPressley, @SenWarren, and I urge Biden's HHS to monitor and publish racial data on vaccine distribution because that which gets measured, gets done. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

More than 70 grassroots groups and 40 environmental justice scholars are endorsing the Environmental Justice Mapping and Data Collection Act of 2021. This is what happens when we organize for climate action and bring the movement for a just and livable future to Congress. https://t.co/t6888CL13H — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Our bill launches a massive effort to fill in the data gaps which blind us in the fight for justice. It centers public engagement and brings decision-making power into frontline communities. And it will help @POTUS focus climate investments and policies on those most in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The first step to dismantling systemic racism is to understand the system. That's why @RepCori, @SenDuckworth, and I are introducing a bill to identify, learn from, and serve communities worst impacted by environmental racism. This is our justice agenda. https://t.co/V7IOZEKFff — PolitiTweet.org
