#OTD 54 years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the #VotingRightsAct into law. This landmark decision became one of the pinnacle moments in civil rights history, granting full voting rights to minority citizens. No American should ever face voter suppression! — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump’s decision to end the HFRP Program is just his latest attack on hardworking Haitian Americans and their families. The xenophobia and racism behind these decisions must be called out and the policies ended. https://t.co/6sdBGszl09 — PolitiTweet.org

54 years ago today, #Medicare & #Medicaid were signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. These programs help millions of Americans access high quality & affordable healthcare. We must continue to fight to #ProtectOurCare & strengthen these vital programs! — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @JohnMDonnelly & @RollCall for highlighting this issue. It is unacceptable that terms like “Negroid,” “Yellow Asian,” and “Red” (American Indian) remain on USG forms. I am working w/ my colleagues to ensure these repugnant and outdated classifications get changed. — PolitiTweet.org

The outstanding @USWNT generates more revenue & viewership than the men's team, but makes as little as 38 cents per dollar compared with the men's team. This is why I was proud to join @HouseDemWomen in introducing the Even Playing Field Act to demand #EqualPay for equal work! — PolitiTweet.org

Families across America deserve a raise! That’s why I was proud to vote for the #RaiseTheWage Act today, which will benefit 159,200 hard working people in my district alone - increasing wages for over 44% of the workforce. https://t.co/dxxA4T81l6 — PolitiTweet.org

This is the longest period in history w/out an increase in the min. wage. That's why @HouseDemocrats are advancing the #RaiseTheWage Act to: -Gradually raise the min. wage to $15 by 2025 -Give up to 33 million Americans a raise -Lift at least 1.3 million Americans out of poverty https://t.co/zJpqrf4ftR — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to receive this award with my friend @VernBuchanan from @HSLegFund & @HSIGlobal! Last Congress, we accomplished not only passing our resolution condemning the harsh #dogandcatmeattrade, but also the US ban. No matter where you live, animal cruelty should be unacceptable! https://t.co/Za0m6F3vQ7 — PolitiTweet.org
