Today, I am again urging the Biden administration to recognize the atrocities against Rohingya Muslims as genocide and take action to prevent further human rights abuses. https://t.co/cBy8yL8F75 — PolitiTweet.org

Protecting human rights means holding bad actors accountable even when it is politically inconvenient. #HumanRightsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today is #HumanRightsDay, a time to recommit to being champions for human rights everywhere, speaking out against abuses of fundamental human rights, and taking action to protect victims worldwide. — PolitiTweet.org

I won’t stop fighting to pass the #PROAct to make it easier for EVERY worker in America to organize. Unions mean better wages and benefits–we need to make unionizing easier, not harder! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Despite huge profits during the pandemic, Kellogg’s is trying to shortchange workers. I’m in solidarity with @BCTGM workers who are striking for safe working conditions and fair pay and benefits. https://t.co/oQtWeesZGX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to #PassWHPA immediately and codify Roe v. Wade in federal law. — PolitiTweet.org

Mental health care is essential health care. We’ve neglected this fact for so long—and our kids are paying the price. This week, @RepKClark and I announced a bill to ensure mental health programs are available to every child in school. https://t.co/8s8ywccS9L — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Build Back Better caps insulin at $35—that’s a HUGE step toward making sure everyone can afford the care they need. That’s what I’m fighting for. Let’s get this across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@POTUS has the authority and the moral obligation to #CancelStudentDebt and relieve millions of American students being crushed under the weight of college debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This Supreme Court is packed with right-wing judges hell-bent on eroding abortion access. Justice Sotomayor’s words from the previous case ring true once again. https://t.co/9nSnc8jnWV https://t.co/Xawzr0jor5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Lowest level of unemployment claims in 50 years, plus nearly six million new jobs this year. This is what progress looks like—this is a strong economic plan. Now, we need to pass #BuildBackBetter and continue on a path to equitable recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Health care workers are critical to the health and well-being of our community—and they should be treated and paid fairly. I’m in solidarity with McKenzie-Willamette workers demanding management stop its unfair labor practices and bargain in good faith. @seiu49 #MWMCStrike2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As the 2022 Olympics approach, I'm working with @RepMcGovern on the #OlympicPrisoner project, shedding light on China’s human rights abuses and highlighting cases of those detained for exercising their internationally-recognized human rights. @CECCgov https://t.co/4wYpNmRKyK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We also need to ban members from trading stocks while in office—voting on issues that impact the price of their individual stocks invites corruption. I have a bill with @SenSherrodBrown to ensure politicians work for people, not their portfolios. #FTVtownhall #SummitForDemocracy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

A7: Politicians should work for the people, not the powerful. Dark money clouding our elections and influencing politicians means that can't happen. Ethics laws will help eliminate conflicts of interest that corrupt our politics and help ensure the will of the people is done. — PolitiTweet.org

That fight continues, and it’s why I helped to write the For the People Act, now the Freedom to Vote Act. #FTVtownhall #SummitForDemocracy — PolitiTweet.org

A1: I’m Senator Jeff Merkley, and I work for the good people of Oregon! I've been fighting to restore a government of, by, and for the people to protect our freedom to vote, stop billionaires from buying elections, and end partisan gerrymandering since I arrived in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepAOC is right: “No person should have to go into debt—crushing debt—in order to get an education. It’s wrong, it’s backwards, and it doesn’t help us as a country.” #CancelStudentDebt https://t.co/oBkskC7nib — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Headlines like this are enraging. We need a #WealthTax! I’m a sponsor of @SenWarren’s bill to make sure the ultra-rich pay their fair share of taxes like the rest of us do, and am working to get this done. https://t.co/4OXexpquUO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We should be working to make unionizing easier, not harder. That’s what the #PROAct will do—strengthen unions and protect the right to organize. We’ve got to get this passed and put working people ahead of CEO profits! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Proud to be working with you on this, @RepUnderwood! It’s critical that we pass the full #Momnibus as part of Build Back Better—I’m working to make sure that happens. — PolitiTweet.org

Insulin isn’t an optional medication for the folks who need it, but for too long Americans have faced absurdly sky-high, unfair prices on insulin and other prescription drugs. #BuildBackBetter caps the price of insulin at $35—we need to get this across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The war in Yemen has had devastating humanitarian impacts and we must end it as swiftly as possible. Selling more weapons to a key party to the conflict when there's been no progress does the opposite. — PolitiTweet.org

Aung San Suu Kyi is an imperfect leader who defended the military’s genocide against the Rohingya. Even so, this junta-run trial devised to remove her political power and block a return to democracy is a deplorable and grievous sham. https://t.co/VpXSDIMF06 — PolitiTweet.org
