ICYMI: I spoke w/ @MarkBaumgarten on @Crosscut Talks about the next steps we must take on the federal level to safely reopen our schools, continue addressing the COVID-19 crisis, reckon w/ our nation’s legacy of systemic racism & police brutality—& more. https://t.co/aiWgYT14rH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Let me be clear: at a time when our country depends on frontline workers more than ever, the last thing Congress should do is let corporations off the hook for not taking adequate safety precautions to protect their workers—and their families and communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Cities, counties, states, & Tribes are on the frontlines of responding to this crisis. Congress must step up & provide additional funding in the next COVID-19 relief package to make sure they have the support & resources they need to keep families, communities, & workers safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m pushing for a plan and $25B to make sure safe, effective COVID-19 vaccines are widely available at no cost, and for a plan from this Administration to get it done—we can’t afford more mistakes that put people’s lives in jeopardy. https://t.co/xiGuSyklxt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The safety of students, educators, & families must be our top priority when discussing how to reopen schools & child care. President Trump & Republicans are so far refusing to do the right thing—which is why I need your help. Share your story: https://t.co/XdSniCKxVD https://t.co/UdtO3iNGpX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If President Trump wins his partisan lawsuit, tens of millions of people will lose their health care in the middle of a pandemic & communities of color will suffer more as the disparities exacerbated by COVID-19 become even worse. We must keep fighting back to #ProtectOurCare. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In case it wasn't clear before—the President has given up on fighting this pandemic. I haven’t. We need testing to be fast, free, & everywhere to help communities slow the spread & stay safe. I'm going to keep pushing for the funding and leadership it takes to make that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congress should be focused on ensuring workers are safe and healthy while on the job—but instead, @senatemajldr wants to let businesses skirt their responsibility to take the necessary steps to keep their workers safe during this crisis. That is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have long had a child care crisis in this country—& it has always hit families of color & working families the hardest. Congress must pass my bill that would provide $50B to keep child care providers open & help working families afford quality care. https://t.co/Wz7gHDAGBF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In order to help address and end police brutality, we need to #DemilitarizeThePolice & make sure that law enforcement never again uses weapons of war against civilians. https://t.co/bprv4AFwQ0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Students with disabilities face new challenges during this pandemic. Congress must provide support & acknowledge educators’ hard work by providing the funding & resources needed to ensure students with disabilities continue to get a high quality education. https://t.co/a1hZbRHv00 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This week, I spoke with advocates, community leaders, and organizations throughout WA about the challenges they face while responding to the on-going crises in our nation, including issues related to housing, child care, and health disparities. https://t.co/CRozaRzWwy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm horrified to see the President using federal agents to harm protestors and violate their rights in Portland. These attacks on Americans' basic freedoms should have no place in our country. https://t.co/GFKA3l85YG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Each day of his extraordinary life, Rep. John Lewis fought to bring our country closer to realizing its ideals of true justice and equality. In his honor, I know I and so many others will continue the work he inspired to help our nation realize those highest ideals. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Two months after the Trump Admin submitted its report on COVID-19 disparities, we still aren’t close to having the full picture. I’ll keep pushing this Admin for the data we need to shine a light on the ways this crisis is impacting communities of color. https://t.co/uM9IS3ZPUp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Administration's reckless demand for schools to physically reopen without regard to public health guidance is causing chaos in the lives of students, families, and educators—and I will fight against it in the Senate. https://t.co/uNkFnA79G8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This kind of behavior is despicable—and no one should have to experience it in the workplace. The #BeHEARD Act is a needed first step to make sure all workers are treated fairly, respectfully, and with dignity. https://t.co/7K7P7EeHys — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Hear my conversation with @MarkBaumgarten on @Crosscut Talks about the path forward on responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, next steps to address police brutality and systemic racism on the federal level, and how we can help communities in WA and across the nation heal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Law enforcement absolutely should not be using weapons of war against civilians, especially peaceful protesters. We need to #DemilitarizeThePolice—and passing @SenBrianSchatz's amendment is a needed step in the right direction. https://t.co/0iFf2owF6v — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

My heart goes out to everyone who has lost a loved one due to the COVID-19 crisis. Know that I am thinking of you and will keep fighting to make sure the health and safety of everyone is the top priority as this pandemic continues. https://t.co/K6LeJFnX9Y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

That’s why during this global health emergency & historic national reckoning on racism, Congress has a responsibility not only to help save lives, but to learn the lessons of our nation’s shameful past so we can ensure true equity in the federal government’s response efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our nation’s deeply-rooted legacy of racism has long led to chronic underinvestment in Black communities and other communities of color, and for generations we’ve seen that imbalance manifest as tragic and unjust racial and ethnic disparities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SenateDems' Economic Justice Act will make a much-needed down payment on our over-due work to address systemic racism, & provide Black people & other historically-marginalized communities with the federal resources they need to thrive after this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In a call with Seattle organizations who work to address homelessness, I heard concerns about the increasing number of domestic violence survivors on the streets, lack of PPE, & the need for federal resources to ensure people have shelter & stable housing through this pandemic. https://t.co/LwgmB9FAyb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As the pandemic and economic crisis continue, individuals shouldn't have to worry about paying their student loans on top of everything else. Congress must extend the pause on student loan payments and interest before notices start coming in the mail. https://t.co/vQwJPoi8Su — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The COVID-19 pandemic has put the health disparities experienced by communities of color front and center. It was helpful to hear from King County health leaders about the challenges they're facing & the support they need to keep their neighborhoods safe & healthy. https://t.co/ub4A9OVcjl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Administration is going to have to give a full justification for this, because until they do, it’s hard to see how this step won’t further sideline public health experts and obscure the severity of this crisis. https://t.co/Ff03CWYRPF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We absolutely can't overlook the critical role child care will play in our nation’s ability to recover from this pandemic. I spoke with local organizations, child care providers, and families from WA state about my commitment to fighting for the urgent support they need. https://t.co/VzHHBxPruT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Workers across the country are facing significant health risks while they’re on the job. @OSHA_DOL needs to step up and ensure workers are protected—and that means issuing health and safety standards that employers are required to follow. https://t.co/HdrhU0geEa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As Congress prepares to negotiate the next coronavirus relief package, I will fight to make sure communities in Washington state & across the country have the resources they need to respond to the unique challenges posed by this pandemic and help keep families safe & healthy. — PolitiTweet.org
