The #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act will: ♻️ Fix our broken waste and recycling systems 🏭 Hold corporations accountable for wasteful products and packaging 🗑️ Phase out unnecessary single-use plastics 🏘️ Protect our communities from toxic pollution from plastic production — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need more than awareness—we need action. Many states have already taken steps to tackle plastic pollution, and I introduced the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act to build on the progress being made in individual states with a national commitment to #BreakFreeFromPlastic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We’re facing a plastic pollution crisis that threatens our health, our ecosystems, and our future. That’s why @SenWhitehouse and I introduced a resolution to make July Plastic Pollution Action Month and bring awareness to solutions to this growing problem. https://t.co/IFDveeSaDE — PolitiTweet.org

If you filed taxes in 2019 or 2020, you will get the #ChildTaxCredit automatically. If you didn’t file taxes, register here ⬇️ https://t.co/6UmRicIJGO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The American Rescue Plan expanded the #ChildTaxCredit to put hundreds of dollars in the bank accounts of millions of Americans every month, starting today. This is one heck of a big deal! Learn more ⬇️ https://t.co/Y9QrZgTlUS — PolitiTweet.org

Comprehensive cannabis reforms must be rooted in restorative justice and aim to repair the damage done to communities of color with the War on Drugs. I fully support the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act. https://t.co/2dHtysfE4t — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

A handful of red and blue states, including Oregon, have been voting by mail for years—it’s convenient and secure. Advocating for every American to have the opportunity to vote by mail if they choose isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about making voting accessible. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm speaking on the Senate floor right now about the urgent need to protect the freedom of EVERY American to make their voice heard at the ballot box. https://t.co/O2TIilRAD2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone should have access to a safe, affordable place to live. My #AffordableHOMEAct is a step toward closing the 7-million-unit gap between affordable housing units and the needs of the American people.https://t.co/gg79qNjlOS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Attacks on our freedom to vote are nothing more than a corrupt search for power at the expense of principle. It's up to us in the Senate to make sure that our sacred right to vote is protected. https://t.co/NLKcEMoI7a — PolitiTweet.org

They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and the fight for voting rights is the biggest fight we can have. Glad to speak with the Texas Dems fighting for our freedom to vote. The Senate must back them up and reform the filibuster to pass the protections in the For the People Act. https://t.co/31E6rnBi07 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We are endangering communities and our way of life and need to do what Americans have done in the past: pull together to meet a big challenge. #ActOnClimate — PolitiTweet.org

I can't express to my non-Oregon friends just how alarming and exceptional the Bootleg Fire is. A fire of this size and intensity at this point in the season is virtually unheard of. It is a literal five-alarm wake-up call. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

President Biden is right: protecting our freedom to vote is a national imperative. The Senate must reform the filibuster to make it happen. https://t.co/kGWzoPdzIc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We need to call out attempts to stifle our freedom to vote for what they are: election subversion aimed at blocking targeted groups of Americans from voting. I'm with @POTUS on this and I will continue to fight to protect ALL Americans' freedom to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

President Biden just called it a national imperative to pass the protections in the For the People Act and guard Americans’ right and freedom to vote. Absolutely! — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s be 100% clear on why Republicans in state legislatures are trying to restrict citizens’ freedom to vote, and why Republicans in the Senate are filibustering the For the People Act: they (and their billionaire funders) want a corrupt system that lets them pick their voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Casting your ballot should be quick and easy. Forcing people to wait in line for hours to vote is a long-standing tactic to keep certain Americans from the ballot box, and we need federal action to put an end to it.https://t.co/uHLR53kYRr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Freedom to vote is the heart of our democratic republic. Democrats in Texas are fighting to protect this sacred right from attacks by the GOP. We need to back them up by reforming the filibuster to pass the protections in the For the People Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It was a powerful experience for me to serve as an intern for Senator Hatfield during the bicentennial summer of 1976. I so admired his work in many areas including the peaceful resolution of conflict and the prevention of nuclear war. I encourage everyone to attend this exhibit. — PolitiTweet.org
