Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

That’s right @SenSchumer. The unfair, anti-worker Trump-era @USEEOC rule made it easier for employers to delay justice or retaliate against workers facing discrimination. Overturning it is an important step in our fight to build back a fairer, more inclusive economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate Democrats and I support @SecBecerra’s work to reverse the Trump Administration's Title X gag rule to ensure patients have widespread, affordable access to the health care they need from providers they trust. https://t.co/WWoa1gf5sZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Going to work while sick is bad for workers AND businesses—and in cases like David's, it can be dangerous. We have to stop forcing workers to choose between staying home when they’re sick and a paycheck by passing national, comprehensive #paidleave policies. https://t.co/PwjbToCrvW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Adriana from Washington state experienced firsthand the challenges and sacrifices of not having #paidleave. Her story, along with so many others, is why I'm fighting to create a national paid family, medical, and sick leave policy. https://t.co/gNwbjFpNXi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Providing #PaidLeave isn’t radical—it’s common sense, it’s basic decency, and it’s a public health necessity. That's why we need to pass the national comprehensive sick days policy and paid family and medical leave program that's proposed in the American Families Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@POTUS's paid leave proposal in the American Families Plan would create a national comprehensive paid family and medical leave program and calls for a national paid sick days policy. I'm going to do everything I can to get it across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We can't rebuild a stronger and fairer economy if workers are forced to choose between their or their families’ health and their paychecks. That’s why I’m going to do everything I can to get the paid leave policy proposed in the  American Families Plan across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Millions of workers were forced to choose between the well-being of themselves, their coworkers, & their families, or their paycheck. Millions were infected & millions more forced out of their jobs because they didn’t have paid leave or quality, affordable child care options. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today, we are the only developed country in the world that doesn’t guarantee paid leave—which most often hurts women, workers of color, and workers with disabilities. And when this pandemic struck, we saw just how costly the lack of comprehensive paid leave has been. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When I came to the Senate in 1993, the first bill we worked on was the Family and Medical Leave Act which provided job-protected unpaid leave to workers across the country. It was a hard fought victory for families. But even then, it was clear that bill was a first step. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE NOW: This pandemic has made crystal clear that our country needs a comprehensive national paid sick, family, and medical leave policy. I'm leading a HELP Committee hearing on what having paid leave options would mean for workers and their families. https://t.co/Fj2DBelEOK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT @HELPCmteDems: Starting soon: Chair @PattyMurray will hold the first full HELP Committee hearing since 2007 on paid family, sick, and me… — PolitiTweet.org

Do your part to stay informed and make sure you understand the new public health guidance around mask wearing. https://t.co/ZVR4yjQC0U — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Brown v. Board of Education was a critical first step to address systemic racism in our education system, but today, racial & socioeconomic barriers still keep many students of color from a quality public education. We must keep working to address these longstanding inequities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our servicemembers sacrifice so much & it’s important to me that we do everything we can to support them. Last week, I helped introduce legislation that would invest in nutrition services, child care, and parental leave for military families. https://t.co/oedxGYN9OR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I joined @SecFudge to announce $5 billion from the American Rescue Plan being used for emergency housing vouchers for individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, including more than 2,400 vouchers here in WA. https://t.co/KQbsPdW913 https://t.co/H4c80H96v3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm fighting to expand our nation's paid leave policies—including sick days and medical, parental, & caregiving leave—and want to hear from you.      Share how paid leave could or does help you and your family. https://t.co/kLB7XliRUH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is what Republicans' non-stop efforts to fill our judicial system with anti-choice judges has led to: a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, with legal abortion hanging in the balance. I will fight this every step of the way. Will you? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There’s so much work to be done to make sure that every member of the LGBTQIA+ community in Washington state, across the country, and globally can live freely without fear of discrimination or hate. I stand with you in the fight to make that happen. #IDAHOBIT2021 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is good news for families in Washington state and across the country—and the type of support I'll keep pushing for to ensure that we come back from this pandemic stronger and fairer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I joined @ossoff and 26 Senate Democrats in urging an immediate ceasefire in Israel and the Palestinian territories. The loss of life and escalation must end. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We can’t ignore the challenges working women are facing and just expect the economy will recover. We have to invest in policies that will get us there—like a strong child care system and better wages. https://t.co/B0bz6lHLKY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Everyone age 12 and older is now eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccine. The sooner you get vaccinated, the sooner you can help protect yourself and those around you, do your part to end this pandemic, and begin getting back to normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Working families need better paid sick, family, & medical leave policies. If you agree, click this link and share why: https://t.co/kLB7XliRUH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So many families struggle to answer the question: How do you go to work & ensure your family is taken care of at the same time? To solve this problem, we must stop looking at it as a family issue & start treating it as the national challenge that it is. https://t.co/neN0QWM3do — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If you have access to paid leave—whether it's sick days or medical, parental, or caregiving leave—I want to hear from you about how it's made a difference in your ability to do your job and take care of yourself & family. Click here to share your story: https://t.co/kLB7XlAtjh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It takes courage and commitment to serve your country and put yourself in harm's way to protect our nation. Thank you to the women and men of the American Armed Forces—and their families—for your steadfast service and sacrifices. #ArmedForcesDay — PolitiTweet.org

.@GovInslee & I are calling for a formal, regional process based on science, consensus, & ensuring Tribes & all voices in the region are heard. We want action and a resolution that restores salmon runs and works for all the stakeholders & communities in the Columbia River Basin. — PolitiTweet.org
