For as long as we've been a country, millions of Americans have had to hide who they were for fear of losing their job and their livelihood. Five years after the ruling on marriage equality, #SCOTUS took another historic step in America's long journey toward #LGBTQ equality. — PolitiTweet.org

We've heard over and over again from the hardest-hit businesses across Colorado that they will need help beyond June to reopen and stay afloat through the end of the year. Last week I talked with some of CO’s small business owners about how our RESTART loan program will help ⬇️ https://t.co/cgkQtaEgJr — PolitiTweet.org

#GunViolenceAwarenessMonth is a call to action for Congress to do something to end gun violence - now. Too many families and communities have been upended, too many lives have been taken. When will enough be enough? https://t.co/259Qnjt9RR — PolitiTweet.org

Live music venues were among the first to close as #COVID19 spread, and they are likely to be among the last to reopen. The #RESTARTAct will provide the flexibility the hardest-hit businesses – like music venues – need to get through the next year. https://t.co/sm8FxOE0aK — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has further exposed the lack of access to mental and behavioral health care in rural communities. The Home-Based Telemental Health Care Act is a bipartisan effort to increase access to these services for rural Colorado. More ⬇️ https://t.co/NL9T3mwFQl — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve called repeatedly for his authority at the BLM to be terminated. The American people and our public lands deserve better. https://t.co/rUnYKJqbw5 — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve known since Acting Dir. Pendley was first appointed that he’s out of touch with Colorado – where we want to keep public lands in public hands. Pendley has a long track record of trying to sell public lands, which is why he shouldn’t be leading the Bureau of Land Management. — PolitiTweet.org

Four years ago, 49 people lost their lives in the Orlando Pulse shooting. Gun violence has forever changed the lives of far too many Americans. We must rise to the occasion and #HonorThemWithAction. https://t.co/7VfD8Bb4A6 — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone who works in the Russell Senate Office Building—senators and our staff—has to walk through the doors each morning of a building named after a staunch segregationist. We can do a lot better. It's time to #RenameRussell. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

In the wake of the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, we need legislation to hold police accountable. The Justice in Policing Act is one step of many we must take to dismantle systemic racism. https://t.co/E3ZzjIaVtF — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see my friends with @ProtectWinters, @newbelgium, and @VFCorp. For Colorado athletes @tommycaldwell1, @puppiesonmtsyay, @GretchenBleiler, and @sashadigiulian, fighting climate change is about saving their livelihoods. Thank you for leading the fight for climate action. https://t.co/vfA40EYBOp — PolitiTweet.org

In the CARES Act, we added $600 per week to unemployment benefits, and it has been an essential lifeline for many Americans. Without it, families would have seen their incomes drop dramatically. We can't let these additional benefits expire completely at the end of July. https://t.co/HqgU0PukKV — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Richard Russell spent his career defending segregation, opposing civil rights, and blocking anti-lynching bills. It is long past time we renamed the Russell Senate Building to honor someone else. Who should it be? — PolitiTweet.org

This week, I introduced the Justice in Policing Act with Senators Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, the most comprehensive bill to reform law enforcement and strengthen accountability in our country’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We will never heal as a country until we fully confront and dismantle the systemic racism that plagues every aspect of our society. That’s why I’ve committed to working with my colleagues to address structural oppression and racism in our country. https://t.co/voB5QRDUIq — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Nearly 10% of Americans can’t make rent. Without the $600/week additional unemployment benefit, that could rise to 30%. If we let these benefits expire, tens of millions of people who rely on them will be thrown into a deeper financial crisis–family by family–all across America. https://t.co/LJK84eRVk7 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We need to tie unemployment benefits to the economic conditions facing our country and our workers. Not an arbitrary cut-off date. I have a bill to do just that: the Worker Relief and Security Act. Learn more ➡️ https://t.co/kfS8HnJNNl https://t.co/zCuLB4Z9LF — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The additional $600/week unemployment benefit has been a lifeline to families during this economic crisis. It's paid the rent, kept food on the table, and paid for utilities. And it would be a profound mistake for the administration to take it away. https://t.co/0SlDBrtAel — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

During the worst pandemic in a century, we shouldn’t ask states to choose between funding critical public services and safeguarding our democracy. Our bipartisan bill would help states access election grants to make sure everyone can vote safely this fall. https://t.co/3qcLfjqiMJ — PolitiTweet.org

The CORE Act is over a decade in the making. It’s passed the House & deserves full consideration in the Senate. The Coloradans who wrote the #COREAct have worked tirelessly to protect our public lands. By including the CORE Act in this package, we could secure those protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must act now to reform law enforcement. That's why I joined Senators Booker and Harris in introducing the Justice in Policing Act. This is one of many steps we must take to seek justice and equal protection under the law for black Americans. https://t.co/A7x1LtelOD — PolitiTweet.org
