Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Glad to be leading this charge with you, @SenMarkey, and with @SenatorShaheen. While we work to pass the #EqualityAct here at home, we must also make sure equality and non-discrimination policies are at the forefront of our foreign policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone deserves the freedom to vote. I will keep fighting for the progress that folks across the country demand. I’m in this fight #ForThePeople. https://t.co/FjPaJ3aZ6l — PolitiTweet.org

Great news: the Keystone XL pipeline is finally dead. Grateful to the activists and allies who worked tirelessly so that we could see this day! #NoKXL — PolitiTweet.org

We need global leadership to #BreakFreeFromPlastic. Read our full letter here ⬇️ https://t.co/CAtyPjgBJy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today, @RepLowenthal, @RepBonamici, and I led a letter to the Biden Administration urging them to support a binding global agreement to tackle the plastic pollution crisis. Nearly 11 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean annually—this is a problem we need to fix now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@CongressmanRaja, @RepBonamici, @SenWarren and I introduced the #NOVID Act to establish a comprehensive strategy to scale up global vaccine manufacturing and distribution, bolstering capacity and supply chains to meet vaccine demand worldwide. More⬇️ https://t.co/cWrJ4r5j0P — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Vaccine dose sharing is a good first step—but we need far more ambitious vaccination goals with specific timelines and an action plan to get folks around the world vaccinated and prevent and respond to future pandemics. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

With over 50% of American adults fully vaccinated, we’ve made significant progress on vaccinations in the U.S. To protect the progress we’ve made here at home and reduce potential for variants, now we must expand global vaccine production and access. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is a big deal. It would be an enormous travesty and betrayal for climate infrastructure to be left on the dock when the infrastructure deal sets sail. President Biden – we are counting on you to make sure this doesn’t happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

In 29 states, Americans can still be evicted, thrown out of a restaurant, or denied a loan under state law because of who they are or whom they love. That’s just wrong. Passing the #EqualityAct means guaranteeing protections for LGBTQ Americans no matter where they live. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

It’s baffling to me that some of my colleagues would vote to shortchange women and their families. I was proud to vote for the #PaycheckFairnessAct today, and I will continue to fight for #EqualPay to close the gender pay gap. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We have the opportunity to build our country back stronger and fairer by passing the #PaycheckFairnessAct. Coming out of a pandemic and economic crisis that hurt working women—particularly women of color—it’s clearer than ever that we need to close the gender pay gap. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

A garbage truck’s worth of plastics are dumped into the ocean every minute of every day. This pollution does tremendous damage to our planet and our health. We can reduce this pollution with federal action to #BreakFreeFromPlastic. #WorldOceanDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Health care decisions should be between patient and doctor, plain and simple. The Women’s Health Protection Act will keep politicians out of people’s reproductive health choices. We must #ActForAbortionAccess by passing #WHPA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Equal pay for equal work isn’t just an issue of fairness, it’s about economic security for working families. It is simply outrageous that in 2021, women are paid, on average, just 82 cents for every dollar paid to men, with that gap widening for women of color. We need #EqualPay. https://t.co/pyjN95d3Wk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Today is #WorldOceanDay, and I’m joining the millions of people around the world calling for #OceanClimateAction. To protect our beautiful oceans and our blue economy, we must take bold action to curb climate chaos. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I’m with you, @SenatorHassan. For our health, our planet, and our future, we can’t afford to delay bold climate action. #ActOnClimate — PolitiTweet.org

I will never give up the fight to protect our freedom to vote. Everyone deserves to have their voice heard at the ballot box. We must press forward. #ForThePeople — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Every child should have the chance to make friends, pursue hobbies, and learn without being bullied. We must pass the #EqualityAct to put an end to discriminatory laws targeting trans youth across our country, and give every child the tools they need to thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act has bipartisan majority support. It deserves a full floor vote. #PassMJIIPA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As I have told all my colleagues, including Sen. Manchin, many times, I am open to any conversation about the provisions of this bill, and will never give up on American democracy. #ForThePeople — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I wish this bill wasn't necessary, or that my GOP colleagues would join us in defending our right to vote. In the wake of a coup attempt by the former president to overturn an election and nationwide attempts to restrict and suppress the right to vote, inaction isn't an option. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Obviously, I’m disappointed by Senator Manchin’s position. The #ForThePeople Act is hugely popular among Democrats, Republicans, and independents all across the country, because it defends the vision of government of, by, and for the People and ends attacks on our right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is an outrageous violation of democratic and political rights. Both Arturo Cruz Jr. and Cristiana Chamorro must be released immediately. More broadly, conditions for free and fair elections must be established in Nicaragua. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

When it comes to the #ForThePeople Act, failure is not an option. It’s clear that if we don’t defend our democracy, it can and likely will be taken from us. We must pass this bill—with or without the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org
