I teamed up with @RonWyden to secure funding for Anahuac in this year’s federal spending bills that will support a commercial kitchen, farming equipment, and workforce development. CAPACES does incredible work—I look forward to seeing their impact grow with this new farm! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Exciting projects underway at Anahuac Farm! I met with CAPACES Leadership Institute to discuss their efforts to grow traditional, culturally significant, healthy food for Latino families in the Mid-Willamette Valley using traditional Indigenous farming practices. https://t.co/iuSSmJG5fy — PolitiTweet.org

Iranians, led by women, have risen up to demand fundamental freedoms and autonomy since the killing of Mahsa Amini. We remember and honor Mahsa Amini and all those brutalized by this regime. Solidarity with all those protesting for their basic rights. https://t.co/L3skLxnn7t — PolitiTweet.org

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Everyone should be able to live a life free of violence. If you or someone you know in the Salem area needs help, call Center for Hope & Safety's 24-hour hotline at 503-399-7722. You can reach the national hotline at 800-799-7233. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This year, I secured federal funding with @RonWyden for a new mixed-use facility at Center for Hope & Safety—the HOPE Plaza—which will provide affordable housing, job training, and support services. CHS is doing incredible work for Oregonians. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone should feel safe in their relationships. For the last 40 years, Center for Hope & Safety has been a lifeline for those experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking in the Salem area. Their work is essential and has changed lives. https://t.co/Wkmrkizuhc — PolitiTweet.org

We must build on the climate investments in the Inflation Reduction Act by declaring a climate emergency and directing more resources towards renewable energy. @POTUS: the time for climate action is now! — PolitiTweet.org

It’s National Wildlife Refuge Week! If you can, take a moment (or a long walk!) this week to enjoy one of the @USFWSRefuges near you and celebrate our beautiful public lands. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Wildfires impact our community—and economy—long after the blazes are extinguished. Dense, hazardous smoke significantly affects Oregon’s wine grape harvests, and I secured funding to study and find solutions for this growing problem. https://t.co/Bjr8lnXckC — PolitiTweet.org

We need answers from Donald Trump about his involvement in the horrific assault on our Capitol on January 6, 2021. This is an important step by @January6thCmte. I support bringing to justice everyone involved in this attack on democracy—including the former President. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Tribal nations have managed lands and waters for generations, and it’s crucial that @forestservice fulfill its trust and treaty obligations with co-management and stewardship agreements with Tribes. @SenatorBennet and I are calling for action. https://t.co/xPef7lB3VL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

These stories are absolutely heartbreaking. We need to stop congregate care from becoming congregate abuse—I’m working on a bipartisan bill in the Senate to make sure we’re protecting the safety and well-being of every child. https://t.co/7idDPTBm8X — PolitiTweet.org

We also got to take a look at the incredible mass timber roof going up at @flypdx that will showcase Oregon innovation to the world. Awesome use of this cutting-edge technology. https://t.co/geQ4HF7OX0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

The result? We’ll be able to use mass timber to build affordable homes, tackle climate chaos, and create jobs in both rural and urban communities across the state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Huge victory for Oregon! I was at the @PortOfPortland today to join @AsstSecCastillo and @RonWyden in celebrating the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition winning a $41 million @US_EDA grant.
