One way we honor the memory of those lost is by volunteering in our communities. Even in the midst of a pandemic, we can participate in food drives, donate to local nonprofits, or work on environmental cleanups. We can give back to those who served by uniting through service. — PolitiTweet.org

Nineteen years ago our nation experienced unspeakable horror and loss. Not only did we lose loved ones in the attacks but we also lost so many who suffered from Ground Zero-related illnesses in the years after. The grief that followed remains with us always. We will never forget. — PolitiTweet.org

Joined by NY members on both sides of the aisle, I sent a letter to President Trump to immediately grant New York’s major disaster declaration request in order to bring home urgently needed federal assistance. The letter is linked below. — PolitiTweet.org

Tropical Storm Isaias hit NY while our communities were working to recover from the health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. People across the state lost power, jeopardizing food security, medical needs, and access to essential services that NYers rely on. — PolitiTweet.org

On #LaborDay, we are reminded that American workers are always essential but never more so than during a pandemic. Thank you to the frontline workers, health and first responders, and our caregivers and educators who continue to be vital resources to American families. https://t.co/K30gNTejHW — PolitiTweet.org

On the 57th anniversary of the #MarchOnWashington for Jobs and Freedom where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis spoke to the nation on the urgent need for equality, we still face many of the same problems and a system that does not provide justice for Black Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy belated #NationalDogDay! Dogs are our best friends, and they all deserve loving homes and families. I am a proud cosponsor of the PUPPERS Act, which would put a stop to abusive and cruel experiments on dogs at the VA, and I will continue working to end animal abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

The House passed the #HeroesAct three months ago. It is now stalled in the Senate, where Senator McConnell has shamefully refused to negotiate. The Republican-led Senate must pass the Heroes Act and assist MTA without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s warning from MTA on potential service cuts is a stark reminder of what is at stake without federal funding and could be catastrophic for passengers in Rockland. In May, I led passage of the #HeroesAct that would provide $3.9 billion for MTA and prevent many of these cuts. — PolitiTweet.org

@HouseDemocrats passed HR 7102, the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act, more than two months ago. @AppropsDems then led the House in passing more than $600 million in police reform initiatives that would condition access to federal funds with necessary, life-saving changes. — PolitiTweet.org

My prayers are with Jacob Blake and his family. Our nation, yet again, is faced with another example of police brutality. This injustice is systemic, and I will keep fighting to make the changes our country needs for everyone who calls America home to feel safe and secure. — PolitiTweet.org

I was honored to participate in this special for @News12WC and @News12HV on the 100th anniversary of the #19thAmendment. This special demonstrates how women today owe a great deal to those who fought for our right to vote as well as those who continue to protect it today. — PolitiTweet.org

If you are a young woman and you see a problem in your community, your state, or your country: take on the challenge of fixing it. Work with others for your cause. Nothing can be done alone, and we didn’t achieve the right to vote alone. Women had to fight for it together. — PolitiTweet.org

I am so inspired by this freshmen class of women who bring new voices and perspectives to the table. We need women in positions of power more than ever to fight for the vulnerable, marginalized, and voiceless, and this anniversary reminds us of that. #HiddenHerstory — PolitiTweet.org

When I came to Congress in 1989, there were only 31 women in the legislative branch, and today there are 127. While this is significant, it is still not enough. Only 359 women have served in Congress, compared with almost 12,000 men, and most of these have been white women. — PolitiTweet.org

Suffrage was not immediately granted to all women, and it is constantly threatened by those who seek to suppress the votes of women of color. The work to combat these forces is ongoing and barriers that impede people from participating in the democratic process still exist today. — PolitiTweet.org

As we celebrate this historic milestone of 100 years since the ratification of the #19thAmendment, it is essential that we honor those who fought for us and acknowledge that there is still far to go to achieve true equality for all women. — PolitiTweet.org

While this is good news for the American people, the President and @senatemajldr still have much work to do to protect the @USPS. It's been more than 3 months since @HouseDemocrats passed the HEROES Act, and @SenateGOP must pass it NOW. #DontMessWithUSPS — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Admin announced that it will again allow citizens to apply for or renew membership in Trusted Traveler Programs. The Admin’s travel ban on NYers was a politically driven attack on our undocumented neighbors that impacted programs like Global Entry, SENTRI, and others. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Admin has undermined #SocialSecurity, Medicare and other critical safety nets after failing to produce an adequate pandemic response plan. Despite the attacks to defund the program, #SocSec85 reminds us to strengthen and protect it for all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

#SocialSecurity is more vital than ever as many Americans face uncertain economic futures amidst COVID-19. The security this program provides for families also stimulates state and local economics as benefits are spent on food, rent, and other necessities. #Happy85SocialSecurity — PolitiTweet.org
