More good news: A Girl Scout troop from @eastvillagek6 sold cookies earlier this year to raise funds for summer camp. When their summer plans were canceled, they used their cookie funds to partner with local restaurants to feed hospital staff & first responders in Central AR. https://t.co/V8UDlXV6FX — PolitiTweet.org

With the outbreak of COVID-19, it is more important than ever for Arkansans to participate in the #2020Census. Responding to the Census is social-distancing friendly. You can submit your response by phone, by mail, or online at https://t.co/J9DoQYUu0q. — PolitiTweet.org

NBC News highlighted the good work of @ArkansasPBS, which filmed Teachers of the Year offering quality instruction during the pandemic. Some teach from home. One teaches from her empty classroom. AR educators are leading the way in this difficult time:https://t.co/yOU6S0mBhS — PolitiTweet.org

@JustinMLaffoon @MarySteenburgen @BillClinton @HillaryClinton @ChelseaClinton @xjelliott While testing is increasing in Arkansas, I totally agree that testing needs to be more widely available. There is no point of disagreement. This challenge is not a partisan issue. Let’s pull together. — PolitiTweet.org

More proof that Arkansans care. 2 people in Jonesboro organized a free-pizza night to encourage their town, which had COVID plus a tornado. Word spread, donations arrived. It became Operation Full Belly: 2 weeks, 12 restaurants, 2,500 free suppers. That's the spirit of Arkansas. https://t.co/e7XIqQ9VYy — PolitiTweet.org

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Sadly, abuse doesn't stop because of this pandemic. Abuse may go unnoticed during this time because teachers & other caregivers aren't seeing the children regularly. If you suspect abuse, please report it to the hotline: 1-844-SAVE-A-CHILD. https://t.co/S4qwm5UZXF — PolitiTweet.org
