This is a moral moment in our country. While our hearts break for El Paso and Dayton, we have an obligation to act and put an end to this epidemic—now. Washington needs to stop answering to the corporate gun lobby and start answering to victims of gun violence and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to partner with @RepPressley on reintroducing Baby Bonds this Congress. This legislation would virtually close the racial wealth gap, helping all kids achieve the upward mobility they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

This decision is disturbing and does nothing to advance the cause of justice. The death penalty is not only ineffective and immoral, but also fraught with biases. We can, and should, do better. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I had the privilege of meeting with @RealGwenCarr and @TheRevAl to discuss the role of Congress in police oversight and accountability. For every name like #EricGarner, there are so many we don’t know. We walk together in the pursuit of justice. https://t.co/sdhzlqQREy — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker

We owe a debt of gratitude to the 9/11 first responders and their families for their courage and bravery in the face of unthinkable tragedy. Thanks to their tireless advocacy, the Senate just voted to #Renew911VCF. NJ heroes will finally get the support they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker

This administration is ignoring last year’s bipartisan Farm Bill and sidestepping Congress to gut SNAP, taking food off the tables of hundreds of thousands of NJans and millions of Americans. This is outrageous, cruel, and will create a tsunami of need. #HandsOffSNAP — PolitiTweet.org

It’s deeply disturbing that AG Barr would overrule DOJ’s career prosecutors – who specialize in excessive use-of-force cases – in not filing charges related to the tragic death of Eric Garner. The public should know the basis for this decision. https://t.co/ulS0otFcig — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been 4 days since the House permanently reauthorized the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. @senatemajldr, it’s time we take this up in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

The over 2.5 million domestic workers in the U.S. deserve to have access to basic workplace protections. This important piece of legislation helps get us there. https://t.co/LE79hYjOzq — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker

Couldn’t agree more. “Every dollar New Jersey spends imprisoning non-violent drug offenders for longer than necessary is a dollar we’re not spending on crime prevention, addiction treatment, or reentry efforts.” Thank you @NewJerseyOAG for your bold and ambitious vision. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker

The movement to end gun violence in America has, for too long, ignored the communities most impacted. We must invest more in community-based violence intervention programs, which have been proven to reduce gun violence. I’m working on a measure to do this. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker

Our bill recognizes this unfairness and gives people who have served their time a ‘second look’. https://t.co/j3Ale00W8V — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker

There are now an enormous number of people in prison who have served lengthy prison terms, are not a threat to the community, and are ready for re-entry, but are stuck under these outdated sentencing laws and costing taxpayers $16 billion annually. https://t.co/IOQI3kkBTE — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker

There are hundreds of thousands of people behind bars–most of them people of color–who were sentenced under draconian laws during the height of the War on Drugs that we have since recognized were unfair. But many of the changes we’ve made to these laws have not been retroactive. https://t.co/XIxU8epqaN — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, communities across NJ stood together at #LightsforLiberty vigils to speak out against the horrific treatment of immigrant families. I’m heartened by how many NJans came together to support their neighbors ahead of dangerous threats from this administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Héctor Figueroa knew that without economic justice, there is no racial or social justice. He recognized that a strong, fair economy is built on the strength of workers and fought tirelessly to make livable wages a reality for New Jersey workers. We are better because of him. RIP — PolitiTweet.org

Today, NJ took a historic step towards restoring human dignity for incarcerated people by signing into law legislation that will restrict the use of solitary confinement. It is my hope that lawmakers around the country will follow NJ’s leadership to #EndTorture and #StopSolitary. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker

Encouraged @HouseJudiciary held a hearing on the racial disparities in marijuana enforcement. To be clear though, pointing out the *vast* racial disparities in marijuana enforcement is not "playing the race card." It's the ugly truth. https://t.co/Hl7KmwV7jH — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, the Senate passed a resolution that encourages the transfer of power to a civilian-led authority in #Sudan and calls for accountability for the perpetrators of the June 3 massacre in #Khartoum. Any peace deal must ensure citizen participation and the end of violence. — PolitiTweet.org

This egregious and blatant attempt to tamper with our democratic process would completely overhaul the rules of who gets to participate in a representative democracy in America; it can't go unchecked. #CitizenshipQuestion #Census2020 https://t.co/KUpJNdrnjO — PolitiTweet.org

The continued Trump-GOP efforts to repeal the #ACA would leave nearly 20 million Americans—and 595,000 New Jerseyans—without health insurance. As oral arguments begin in #TXvUS, we must continue to defend this fundamental right. Lives are at stake. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker

What happened to #MarshaeJones is appalling. Hers is the latest case of pregnancy criminalization which disproportionately targets women of color & will only increase as more states try to ban abortion. We must end this & affirm reproductive rights for all https://t.co/tzW0l4hiV6 — PolitiTweet.org
