65 years ago today, the landmark Supreme Court decision Brown v Board of Education finally brought an end to “separate but equal” in the US. But we still have a long way to go in achieving racial equality. We must work to achieve justice & protect voting rights for all people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The House just passed the bipartisan #EqualityAct which would keep LGBTQ people from being ❌fired ❌evicted ❌denied services ...simply because of who they are. Leader McConnell needs to bring this to a vote in the Senate immediately. https://t.co/rTLQhLk0Xn — PolitiTweet.org

Michigan is home to some of the best craft breweries in the country. Today I met with Larry & Shannon from @BellsBrewery & Scott from the Michigan Brewers Guild to talk about the state of the craft beer industry, which is a vital part of our Michigan economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Guardsmen and Reservists shouldn’t have to wade through red tape to access the benefits they have earned. That’s why I introduced new legislation to help. Watch ↓ https://t.co/VudRYT189W — PolitiTweet.org

We must act to ensure a level playing field for American workers, businesses and producers. While the trade war with China escalates, our own cherry farmers in northern Michigan are being harmed by unfair practices and dumping from Turkey. https://t.co/K3rPfc5bTH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This bill would help civil servants collect the info necessary to design tailor-made programs to help these children. By gaining a better understanding of the hardships dual status children have to endure, we can do more to ensure that they can lead happy, productive lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This Foster Care Month I reintroduced my bipartisan CONNECT Act because we can’t allow bureaucratic red tape to prevent the juvenile justice & child welfare systems from providing services to youth. https://t.co/RAHcOAUbzl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We must hold bad actors accountable—and I have long fought against unfair trade practices, whether from China or other countries that undercut Michigan businesses and workers across a number of industries. I’m concerned, though, that the President lacks a strategy. https://t.co/JitG1A2ouL — PolitiTweet.org

Taxpayers would save millions of dollars if every federal agency knew whether the people receiving their payments were actually alive. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Judge Keith’s legacy will continue to inspire those in public service to fight for civil rights, individual liberties & equal protection under law. I’m lucky to have known Judge Keith & was glad I could attend today’s service. https://t.co/RChSw2ZGLU — PolitiTweet.org

Our Guardsmen and Reservists should not have to wade through red tape to access the benefits they earned through their service. My bipartisan legislation would help. https://t.co/h2ta5B5kpl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The Great Lakes are an invaluable economic & environmental resource—they deserve the same attention as other coasts & shorelines. That's why I introduced a bill to update our ESI maps so scientists can respond to potential oil spills & keep the Great Lakes vibrant & strong. https://t.co/SU08cFsveZ — PolitiTweet.org

He received more than 40 honorary degrees as well as the Spingarn Medal from the @NAACP, the highest honor awarded by the organization, & the Edward J. Devitt Distinguished Service to Justice Award, the highest award that can be bestowed on a member of the Federal judiciary. — PolitiTweet.org
