We need meaningful change to begin to address the systemic racism that has long plagued our nation. The #JusticeInPolicing Act is a critical first step to hold law enforcement accountable and help ensure equal justice. — PolitiTweet.org

This spring’s school closures & the inconsistent support for distance learning will result in learning loss & likely cause achievement gaps that existed before the pandemic to widen significantly. Schools & districts need to think now about how to measure & address learning loss. https://t.co/FyW7ylqYFq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The past three months have highlighted the challenges to provide distance learning in K-12 public schools. Here's what President Obama's Secretary of Education @JohnBKing had to say about how states & districts can better plan for distance learning this fall. https://t.co/BW3xM9fTaO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At today's Senate committee hearing, I spoke about the need for everyone to be all-in on ensuring K-12 public schools have the resources and support to rise to the massive challenges in front of them as they continue to respond to the pandemic. https://t.co/jZG8G0qGxm — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been 57 years since the #EqualPay Act was signed into law, and yet we still see a massive gender wage gap—especially for Black and brown women. The Senate should pass the #PaycheckFairness Act now. — PolitiTweet.org

April Minnifield, a graduate of Evergreen High School in Vancouver, is proud of the Class of 2020 for working hard and earning their diplomas—even during a pandemic. Congratulations to April and all of the graduates this year! https://t.co/ihjM5VVtg7 — PolitiTweet.org

This new report helps illustrate exactly why we all must be working to make sure all students get the education they need and deserve during this pandemic. https://t.co/24H503coL5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admin's failure to create & execute a comprehensive plan to scale up testing & contact tracing is inexcusable. I've been pushing them to take action for months & won’t stop holding their feet to the fire until testing is free, fast, & everywhere. https://t.co/weZ0ol60nL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is only the beginning of the action we must take in Congress, and as a nation, to reset our moral compass and address the racism at the roots of our laws and policies, our systems and institutions, and our communities, and I am committed to the work ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It is beyond time for all of us, especially elected leaders like me, to listen. Going forward, I want those fighting for justice across the country to know that I am clear that the conversation does not stop here—far from it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every elected official who’s seen the news in the last two weeks—Democrat or Republican—should be able to get behind this bill and send it to the President’s desk without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Proud to join @SenKamalaHarris @CoryBooker @TheBlackCaucus & others to introduce the Justice in Policing Act. This meaningful first step in Congress will reform & better track policing, ensure citizens can seek justice, & hold law enforcement officers accountable for misconduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We've long had a child care crisis in this country & it hits families of color & working families the hardest. Congress must take action now—and I have legislation we could vote on today that would provide the relief that's desperately needed. https://t.co/oYHE2Wkmwl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At a time when more Americans than ever are relying on unemployment insurance to get through this pandemic, it's critical that the Trump Administration create long-term solutions that help protect states against organized fraud. https://t.co/CXgE7TRRTF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT if you can think of something @senatemajldr should do this week that isn’t rubber-stamping President Trump’s partisan judicial nominees. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The coronavirus pandemic has hit Black communities and other communities of color significantly harder. And these disparities hold true for #HigherEd, where many students are bearing a heavier burden. Colleges must create plans to get these students the resources they need. https://t.co/3RLNBaACyx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every day Congress waits to address our nation’s child care crisis it gets worse. @SenWarren, @SenGillibrand, @SenTinaSmith, @SenBobCasey & I are pushing for our legislation that would support child care providers & working families. https://t.co/NjXMYKFrfw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In the next coronavirus relief bill, Senate Republicans want to protect corporations from having responsibility to maintain safe workplaces. @senatedems won’t stand for this & will keep pushing to strengthen protections for workers & keep communities safe. https://t.co/3jjD4cA3h5 — PolitiTweet.org

A member of the first-ever graduating class of IDEA High School in Tacoma, Cal Beardemphl hopes that the Class of 2020 uses this time to reflect on how much they've learned and grown. https://t.co/QdsOF2wKmY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need to expand #VoteByMail in every state ahead of the November election to protect our democracy & the health and safety of voters. https://t.co/5PMf0mFWU8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As colleges and universities create detailed plans for how to keep the campus community safe as they start to re-open, it’s critical that the federal government provide in-depth, actionable and detailed guidance on best practices. https://t.co/r7cLrQVLt7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have a leadership crisis in the White House. You’re going to hear a lot of excuses from President Trump about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic & his refusal to address the challenges our communities face. Don't listen. Demand better. https://t.co/9ptlyCvJ0Z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is the kind of statement someone makes when they care about nothing—nothing—but themselves. https://t.co/NVN19zt4rc — PolitiTweet.org

Actually, this week is the exact opposite of what I'd call 'great going'. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Gun violence in America disproportionately impacts Black people. It’s critical that we acknowledge the intersection of institutional racism and gun violence, and commit to doing more to help #EndGunViolence in the communities that experience the impacts the most. #WearOrange https://t.co/oigs5nVMBN — PolitiTweet.org

20 million jobs lost. An unemployment rate of 13.3%. Families struggling to afford rent & food. The President calling this “the greatest comeback in American history” is an attempt to distract from his ineptitude & justify Republicans’ refusal to provide more needed relief. — PolitiTweet.org
