The Green New Deal is a winning issue. — PolitiTweet.org

The pandemic unleashed more than a virus on our society, it also spread hatred, manifesting in an alarming rise in crimes of violence against the AAPI community. The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act is an important step in combatting violence based on race, ethnicity, and identity. — PolitiTweet.org

The House has voted to make Washington D.C. the 51st state and President Biden supports statehood. Now the only thing that stands in our way is Republican obstruction. What do we do about it? We abolish the filibuster and give the people of D.C. a voice in their government. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

This Republican “proposal” doesn’t come close to matching the scale of the crises we face—nor does it include any element of justice for communities of color who are so often left out of these negotiations. We will not sacrifice our values for the pretense of bipartisanship. — PolitiTweet.org

This isn't it. — PolitiTweet.org

1.5 million people from all walks of life earning good wages, full health care benefits, educational grants, and on-the-job training from local unions to serve their communities, transform our economy, and rebuild America. This is the 21st century Civilian Climate Corps. https://t.co/bVRSoeCKv0 — PolitiTweet.org

This Earth Day we recognize our shared global commitment to a just and livable future for all children. The time is now to be bold, deliver justice, and save our planet. https://t.co/svp0eG7voZ — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We are a world leader in contributing to the climate crisis, and we have an obligation to be a world leader in addressing this humanitarian crisis. The climate crisis disproportionately affects women, children, Indigenous people, and people of color. We must support them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

As the climate crisis worsens, people are becoming more vulnerable to conflict, violence, and persecution. Rep. @NydiaVelazquez and I are reintroducing our legislation to establish a national strategy to address global climate-driven displacement. https://t.co/uFdLrb9uMc — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I hear you loud and clear @RepCori. I am sick and tired of seeing my friends in the House pass progressive legislation only for it to die in the Senate, and so are the American people. We must abolish the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

It's Earth Day 2021 and I know why I'm feeling hopeful. What's giving you hope today? https://t.co/qyUqrme2es — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to continuing to work with the Administration and Congress to ensure proper financial contributions and a methane emissions reduction target are in our final nationally determined contributions as we build on today’s momentum. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

I again call for the inclusion of methane emissions reduction targets in the national commitments and dialogue at the Summit. Immediate methane reductions are feasible and would facilitate more ambitious action on short-term warming as part of the Paris Climate Agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Administration’s emission reduction goals are technologically feasible and well within our reach. We know with funding, with legislation, and with political will, we can do even more to meet the moment on this existential crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The Biden administration inherited four years of dust and denialism on climate action—but that era is over. President Biden is recommitting to ambition, reaffirming science, and reasserting global leadership. https://t.co/M1u23gyRtx — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Right now, there are no protections for those forced to flee their homes because of the climate crisis and global sea-level rise. As this crisis continues to worsen we must recognize climate refugees and protect those being displaced by climate change. https://t.co/RgcxIGmCXw — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Humanity has no shortage of common threats that will require all of us to work together to defeat. The Strategic Competition Act is not yet complete, and I look forward to continuing to work to include provisions that prioritize cooperation and diplomacy, not needless antagonism. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We also must elevate diplomacy. My measure increases programming for Radio Free Asia by 50%, to break through Beijing's information firewall that tries to silence the stories of Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Hong Kongers whose fundamental rights are denied. https://t.co/zNgU0mUCF3 — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The China bill’s inclusion of my Taiwan Fellowship Act, that I led with @SenRubioPress, will send our brightest public servants to live, study, and work in Taiwan for up to two years creating bonds that will endure generations. @MOFA_Taiwan https://t.co/zJUvgGMrUX — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

My provisions call for a climate resilience strategy for the Indo-Pacific to help our armed forces and partners weather the worst of the climate crisis and will create a legislative working group of the "Quad" countries to take on global challenges from climate to COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We are not in a Cold War with China. We must work together to fight the climate crisis, halt nuclear proliferation, and more. Proud that we secured provisions in the markup of the China bill to pursue constructive engagement where possible. https://t.co/t8ZRfEcgDK — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Yesterday we introduced the Green New Deal and in 5 minutes I'll be live with @AriMelber to talk about our vision for a just and livable future. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Unions and working people like Judith Howell of @32BJSEIU are going to rebuild this country cleaner, stronger, and more just than ever before when we pass a Green New Deal. https://t.co/ymsI4cuKEc — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

The respiratory pandemic has helped expose the disproportionate impacts of dirty air on communities of color and low-income neighborhoods. We must support local air quality monitoring and take action, first focusing on communities with the highest pollution levels. #StateOfTheAir — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Saving our planet requires a mass mobilization of people and resources to combat the climate crisis. That's why we've introduced the Civilian Climate Corps to employ millions of Americans — bringing jobs and justice to frontline communities all across the United States. https://t.co/gm7J6ONahM — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

What sets the Green New Deal apart from past climate change legislation? It proudly centers the undeniable truth that racial injustice, economic inequality, and the climate crisis are all interconnected. https://t.co/Kcxv3gMNeo — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

We must do more to hold law enforcement accountable. Abolish qualified immunity. Demilitarize the police. Ban facial recognition surveillance. And so much more. Today is only one step in the long march to true justice for Black and Brown Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

George Floyd deserved to live his life fully. His children deserved to have him grow old with them. His community deserved to have him continue his life of service and mentorship. — PolitiTweet.org
