Climate action is about protecting the planet—but it will also create tons of good paying jobs. We can tackle climate chaos and bolster the economy at the same time. That’s why I’m taking a stand to make sure that climate is included in the infrastructure package. https://t.co/Pwi9O9pMlg — PolitiTweet.org

Queer activists have been leading the fight for the equal rights we’re trying to enshrine in federal law with the #EqualityAct, and we must never lose sight of or appreciation for the folks who got us to this point. #PrideMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As I fight for the #EqualityAct in the Senate, I'm grateful to the queer activists and allies who put their bodies on the line fighting for equal rights. I'm thinking of the Stonewall Uprising—led by transgender women of color—and the advancements for LGBTQ rights that followed. — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t let companies scoop up or profit from our faces and fingerprints without our consent. We must fight against a “big brother” surveillance state that eradicates our privacy and control of our own information, be it a threat from the government or from private companies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

2 reasons McConnell should not be allowed to be Senate Majority Leader again: 1. He damaged the legitimacy of our Supreme Court by stealing a Supreme Court seat in 2016. 2. He will continue his assault on our Constitution by stealing another seat if he’s in charge in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Victory bonds worked for us during World War II, and they’re a model that can help us tackle the climate crisis and ensure our nation continues to lead the world in clean energy technology in the 21st century. — PolitiTweet.org

Janitors keep our hospitals, schools, and businesses clean and safe in Oregon. They're crucial to getting our economy back on track. I support the janitors fighting for union contracts that provide the safety protections and fair pay they deserve. #JusticeForJanitors @seiu49 — PolitiTweet.org

To curb climate chaos and protect our health, planet, and future, we need to invest in the clean energy solutions of the future, not the dirty fossil fuels. That includes insurance companies and their underwriters. #ActOnClimate — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

More than 100 student groups from across the country are calling on corporations to leave the @USChamber over their destructive history of climate denial. I stand with these students in their efforts to #ChangeTheChamber. https://t.co/hyCeIvvLEb — PolitiTweet.org

We must also ensure U.S. companies and consumers aren’t complicit in the horrors taking place in Xinjiang, including forced labor that exploits Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities. The Senate must pass my bill w/ Sen. Rubio to ban the import of forced labor from Xinjiang. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The IOC should never assign the Olympics to a nation engaged in atrocities or genocide like China. The IOC should move the games. But failing that, the world’s diplomats must boycott the games. And the sponsors should cancel. We can’t remain silent! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We cannot remain passive in the face of China’s genocide against Uyghurs. Naming it isn't enough—I urge everyone to read this piece to understand the gravity of the atrocities China is committing and some ways we can take action. https://t.co/ec5hDTlWHz — PolitiTweet.org

400+ bills to suppress our freedom to vote have been introduced in state legislatures in the U.S. There’s a reason the #ForThePeople Act has broad, bipartisan support: we all deserve the right to make our voices heard at the ballot box. Thanks for speaking out, Jennifer! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Climate chaos doesn’t care what political party you belong to—it’s here, and it’s threatening our communities now. Bipartisanship can’t be a code for climate denial. — PolitiTweet.org

Cancelling student debt can help us close the racial wealth gap in America. Our country spent centuries blocking Black Americans from access to wealth and education. Huge college debts extend that legacy. Let’s #CancelStudentDebt and open up opportunity. https://t.co/23qI0CKgVS — PolitiTweet.org

These graphics are striking. I urge folks to take a look to understand the dire drought conditions in the Western U.S. That’s why I led western senators to press President Biden to provide additional relief to states facing extreme drought and wildfires.https://t.co/8HcQaf1voK — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community to #RememberPulse, five years after 49 people were murdered and over 50 were wounded in a horrific shooting at Pulse nightclub. Let us honor their memories with action, continuing our fight for gun safety. — PolitiTweet.org

I commend AG Garland for taking action to protect American voters and the integrity of our elections. But the DOJ doesn’t yet have all the tools needed to protect our freedom to vote from the attacks we face—the Senate must also act swiftly to protect our democracy. #ForThePeople — PolitiTweet.org

The richest folks in America should not be paying next to nothing in taxes. That’s just not right. We need a #WealthTax to ensure that the mega rich finally pay their fair share, every year.https://t.co/dGUhuuMBVQ — PolitiTweet.org

The @USChamber sold out our planet and threatened our future with decades of climate denial. Enough is enough—I stand with the students nationwide calling on corporations to leave the Chamber for failing to #ActOnClimate. https://t.co/cGyfpBbWV2 — PolitiTweet.org
