Taking care of our Peace Corps volunteers who were abruptly uprooted from their posts is the right thing to do. Their service to our country is invaluable – and in this unprecedented moment, I’m glad they will get the support they need. https://t.co/1C5fLhb17u — PolitiTweet.org

Great to be in Commerce City yesterday packing food boxes for families in need with the dedicated volunteers for @foodbankrockies. #DoingMyPartCO https://t.co/rwRDTe6s4n — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Cary represented the very best of Colorado. We are so grateful for his selfless commitment to helping those in need. Our hearts are with his family, friends, and all those mourning his loss. — PolitiTweet.org

The pandemic is forcing local media to the breaking point at the very moment we need it most. I joined a bipartisan group of senators urging the federal government to boost its advertising in local papers and channels to help them in this difficult time. https://t.co/gwuukqYmaL — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We're grateful to @FoodBankRockies for all they are doing in this unprecedented time. So many Coloradans are in a position they never expected to be in as a result of this crisis. Now, more than ever, we must ensure families have access to the food they need. https://t.co/xDpdT4nakP — PolitiTweet.org

These are just some of the key principles that I believe will help us protect our health and our values. Read more here ⬇️ https://t.co/a4RIfH7Eok — PolitiTweet.org

All personally identifiable information collected to fight COVID-19 must be deleted or de-identified upon termination of the disease cycle, as determined by public health experts. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

At the federal level, the CDC must remain the sole entity responsible for managing COVID data. No private third party, state government, or other federal department, including law enforcement or national security agencies, should have access to such data. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Any data collected must be used exclusively for the public benefit and must not be shared with third parties for monetization or private gain of any kind, including businesses, nonprofits, and consortia thereof. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Americans must be given the choice to opt-in to any data collection related to COVID-19 and have a clear right to refuse. Individuals must also have the right to remove their data if they choose. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

As the world races to apply digital tools to fight the pandemic, the U.S. should set an example for how to balance their potential value with their limitations and risks. THREAD ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

@SenKamalaHarris This bill will help us contend with the historic disparities communities of color have faced in access to quality health care, housing, and schools, so that going forward, we can better protect all communities from this pandemic and those to come.

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We must confront the systemic inequalities that have led #COVID19 to disproportionately hurt people of color in our country. That's why I'm joining @SenKamalaHarris in introducing legislation to establish a task force to combat the racial disparities of this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

States are working hard to help people vote safely in the fall, but their budgets have taken a huge hit. It makes no sense to force them to provide a 20% funding match for federal election grants. @SenatorCollins and I are urging Congress to fix this. https://t.co/PrIckeCYrL — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, I’m hosting a tele-town hall with experts from @COHealth, @KPcolorado, and CO HELP to answer Coloradans’ questions and provide an update on the federal response to #COVID19. Tune in here at 1:00 PM MT ⬇️ https://t.co/714f4zKI9U — PolitiTweet.org

Not having access to the internet today means not having access to a classroom. No senator would accept that for their children. And we can't accept it for America's children. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Are you a college student from Colorado? I want to hear about what’s on your mind as you are thinking about your future. Please join me for a telephone town hall tomorrow, Friday, May 1 at 12:00 p.m. MT. RSVP here ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic has brought to the surface all the work we've neglected to build an economy that puts the dignity, safety, and security of our workers first. I recently spoke with @AFLCIOCO and CO’s labor leaders about these challenges, and how we can move forward together. — PolitiTweet.org

Learn more about my proposal to expand #SNAP here ⬇️https://t.co/BXeVpvvDMI — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

If these proposals were in effect today, millions of Americans who are struggling as a result of this crisis would have increased benefits and support. I'll keep pushing these proposals to bring much-needed relief to American families in the next economic support package. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

My proposals to expand SNAP, strengthen unemployment insurance, and help Americans weather the economic fallout of #COVID19 with direct cash payments all have the ability to act as automatic stabilizers when the economy deteriorates. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

It would also permanently modernize #SNAP by ensuring all states use broad-based categorical eligibility so that households that qualify for other low-income assistance programs don't have to fill out burdensome paperwork to get the assistance they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

My proposal would reform #SNAP to expand its benefits and eligibility quickly and automatically during economic downturns – including the one we're currently in – so we can support those most in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

That's why I've released a new proposal to expand and strengthen #SNAP food assistance for our nation’s most vulnerable families. SNAP already provides food security to millions of Americans – and with increasing need as a result of #COVID19, millions more need support now. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

As the harmful impact of this pandemic on our economy continues, our food banks are strained to a breaking point as families wait in line for hours on end just to be able to eat. We should never allow the kind of severe hardship we are seeing in America today. — PolitiTweet.org
