Our frontline workers at grocery stores and in the retail food industry are making it possible for families and businesses to survive this pandemic. This guidance is an improvement from the information previously provided, but the Trump admin must do more. https://t.co/sUIMq213Oy — PolitiTweet.org

A ceasefire in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia has battled Iranian-backed rebels, is long overdue. Yemen is home to the world’s worst man-made humanitarian crisis. The U.S. helped make this mess, and now’s the time to lead and work to establish a lasting peace. https://t.co/S1a4yGfXbo — PolitiTweet.org

We wrote the CARES Act to give relief to small businesses as quickly as possible. It’s two weeks later and too many small businesses are still waiting. I joined @RonWyden in calling for the administration to get money to small businesses ASAP. https://t.co/EH7jmIwyIg — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 is disproportionately harming communities and people of color. Medicare has data that illustrates this injustice. @SenWarren, @RepPressley, and I are calling for CMS to release that demographic information so we can respond more equitably. https://t.co/VGW7IgREEc — PolitiTweet.org

5. Protect our democratic process while protecting each other. People must not be forced to choose between exercising their rights as citizens and protecting public health. The federal government must support states to ensure that every American can vote safely in elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We need to direct investments straight to the working families, communities of color, and Indigenous communities who face the most economic insecurity. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

4. Make a down payment on a regenerative economy, while preventing future crises. This stimulus should create millions of good jobs with high-road labor standards, counter systemic inequities, and tackle the climate crisis that compounds threats to our economy and health. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

3. Rescue workers and communities, not corporate executives. Any financial assistance directed at specific industries must be channeled to workers, not shareholders or corporate executives. And any such funds should come with pro-worker conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

2. Provide economic relief directly to the people. We must expand the social safety net, broaden UI, vastly increase food aid programs, extend housing assistance, expand childcare for working families, relieve student debt, and halt evictions, foreclosures, and power shut offs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

1. Health is the top priority, for ALL people, with NO exceptions. Low-wage workers, health care workers, Black, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and Latinx communities, immigrants (including the undocumented), Indigenous peoples, the incarcerated, the homeless. Everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The response to #COVID19 will shape our society for decades. The wealthy have made their priorities clear: consolidate power and leave working people behind. Those fighting for the health and economic security of ordinary Americans must also make our priorities clear. THREAD: https://t.co/rvf0scUUjI — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Students must not be left behind due to lack of broadband access. Everyone has a right to an education & internet access is now critical to fulfilling that promise especially during #COVID19. We must expand my E-Rate program, make internet access a right & close the #HomeworkGap. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We don’t know how long the #COVID19 crisis will last, but we do know that vulnerable Americans will need direct financial assistance for the entire duration. A one-time check won’t cut it. Proud to fight w/ @SenKamalaHarris & @SenSanders to get workers recurring monthly checks. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Millions of students are using Zoom to continue learning during #COVID19. It has become a key tool, and for that reason, Zoom has a responsibility to protect students’ privacy. @SenWarren and I demand to know Zoom’s plan to safeguard users' data. https://t.co/DJ44diSH07 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Data-driven efforts will be key to stopping the spread of #COVID19, but we must be sure Trump isn’t using the crisis as an opportunity to create an unaccountable surveillance state. I’m demanding answers to ensure any proposal does not lead to damaging invasions of privacy. https://t.co/sJTtYRBpu4 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The American people deserve to know how the government and companies are using their data to address the #COVID19 pandemic. Congress must enact privacy protections because in moments of crisis, we can’t disregard or tamper with Americans’ fundamental civil liberties. — PolitiTweet.org

#OurPower was undeniable on tonight’s #PowerHour. Thank you to @AMarch4OurLives for the conversation with your incredible gun violence prevention activists. We live in uncertain times, but there is one thing I am certain of: the power of our young people to transform this world. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot afford to allow any small businesses to get left behind and a system of inequality perpetuate itself. I joined @SenatorCardin in demanding resources get directly to underserved communities by supporting small businesses owned by veterans, minorities, women, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

We shouldn't accept the declarations by some in power who say we have to stray from the guiding principles & civil liberties that make us who we are. They are wrong. We don't have to forgo all privacy in a pandemic nor watch a surveillance state take root. https://t.co/1Rx6j6TzpX — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As Americans’ reliance on online conferencing grows, individuals are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks & inappropriate access of their personal data. FTC must issue guidance to help businesses understand their responsibilities & comply with the law. https://t.co/BBaBuq46OC — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Widespread testing is critical to stopping the spread of #COVID19. But we still have serious delays, with backlogs of up to 160,000 tests. @SenatorDurbin, @SenDuckworth, and I call on CMS to expand testing capacity so our labs have the flexibility they need to meet the demand. https://t.co/8n7g7P6eig — PolitiTweet.org
