Proud to join @RepSlotkin to introduce a resolution to honor the 47th Anniversary of #TitleIX and honor those who fought so hard to pass Title IX decades ago. We must keep building on their progress and ensure equity in the education system for all students across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As Secretary @BetsyDeVosED weakens protections for LGBTQIA+ students and works to make it harder for survivors of sexual assault to feel safe at school, I am going to fight to expand opportunities for all students. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If #TitleIX didn't pass 47 years ago, countless women, girls, & LGBTQIA+ people across the country would be shut out of opportunities that have put them on a path of success in their lives. We must ensure that everyone can learn in a fair environment for generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Happy Pride, @OlympiaPride! Great to see the celebrations of the LGBTQIA+ community continue across my home state of Washington during #PrideMonth. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

On the 1-year anniversary of the Family Smoking Prevention & Tobacco Control Act, I urged @US_FDA to act quickly & decisively to protect kids from dangerous tobacco products. Tobacco poses a serious threat to public health & we need a strong response now. https://t.co/n9pkRssHxV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Making sure children have year-round access to healthy, nutritious meals is an essential component of setting them up for success. The Stop Child Summer Hunger Act would help do that by ensuring no kids are left wondering where their next meal will come from. https://t.co/cTAyFNQm4R — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today marks 20 years since Olmstead vs. LC SCOTUS held that segregation of people with disabilities is discrimination. We have a responsibility to continue to fight for equitable inclusion of Americans with disabilities in our communities, education, and employment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even in states where same-sex couples were legally married, the Fed. Gov't prevented them from filing joint tax returns for years, causing them to miss out on refunds. Proud to join the Refund Equality Act w/ my Senate colleagues to correct this injustice. https://t.co/U21G70wKud — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I introduced the Stop Child Summer Hunger Act with @RepSusanDavis to make sure children have year-round access to healthy, nutritious meals, which is an essential component of setting them up for success—at home, in school, and in life. https://t.co/64ZetJpg0K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We aspire to be a nation in which every person is able to pursue their dreams with equal opportunity to achieve them, and I am confident this legislation to create a commission to study reparation proposals will take us closer to this essential goal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We must recognize the full scope of our nation's history and its consequences in the present—and that means confronting the stark reality that many of our core policies and institutions perpetuate the bigotry and injustice toward African-Americans that began with slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Proud to support @SenBooker & @JacksonLeeTX18's legislation to study reparation proposals for African-American descendants of slavery. This bill is an important first step toward correcting some of the enduring economic and social injustices facing so many people in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In WA, 1 in 6 kids live in a household that struggles to put food on the table. Proud to work with @RepSusanDavis on the Stop Child Summer Hunger Act to ensure families have the support they need and children have year-round access to healthy, nutritious meals. https://t.co/XSkDq4P6gP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For many parents, finding and affording full-day care in the summer turns the season into a stressful time. Congress needs to pass the Child Care for Working Families Act to create affordable, high-quality child care options all year round. #ChildCare4All https://t.co/BwoD94Ovam — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's great to see states taking strong actions to protect #ReproRights & women’s access to safe, legal abortion. Although this is progress—we must protect #RoeVWade & make sure all women, no matter where they live, have access to the health care they need. https://t.co/D6cgPHqHef — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #LowerHealthCareCosts Act would help people and families with some of the pressing health care issues they face, including: ➡️ ending surprise billing ➡️ responding to the maternal mortality crisis ➡️ addressing vaccine hesitancy, and more — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every minute in 2018, 25 people were forced to flee from their homes. Now more than ever we need to show compassion for those who have fled their families and homes in hopes of a better future and recommit to welcoming refugees to our nation. #WorldRefugeeDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The suicide rate among women veterans is nearly twice that of their civilian counterparts. Removing barriers for women vets seeking mental health treatment needs to be a constant part of the larger conversation about helping the VA better serve this community. https://t.co/Q8ZjMLLHVK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Gun violence is a tragedy that touches every corner of our country—including WA. But instead of listening to the students, families & communities across the U.S. who have raised their voices in support of common sense gun safety reforms, Republican leaders continue to do nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In the 114 days since the House passed universal background checks, 11,400 people have been killed from gun violence. This is a nationwide epidemic. The Senate should immediately pass universal background checks and do everything in our power to stop gun violence in America. https://t.co/Owv6Emb6le — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Community providers are a key partner in the comprehensive effort to end veteran suicide. At a Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee hearing, I called on the VA to ensure these providers are prepared to address this crisis. https://t.co/gwbJiyWPkE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We are obligated to preserve our environment and natural resources for future generations, and I will not stop working to reverse this damaging new rule that undermines bedrock environmental protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump has already abdicated our nation’s leadership in the global fight against climate change, and by rolling back the Clean Power Plan, he is leaving communities in WA & across the country even more vulnerable to the growing dangers of the worsening climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I hope Republicans will build on this momentum by joining us at the table on bigger health care issues as well—like repairing the damage from President Trump’s health care sabotage and protecting people with pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm glad Republicans chose to listen to families & join Democrats to work on steps to #LowerHealthCareCosts, end surprise billing, respond to the maternal mortality crisis, address vaccine hesitancy, & more. But this must be a first step, not a last one. https://t.co/7nQpwm28qg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

President Trump’s extreme judicial nominee, Matthew Kacsmaryk’s past work and writings show hostility to women’s #ReproRights. His nomination is yet another attempt to undermine women’s health and the right to safe, legal abortion. #StopKacsmaryk https://t.co/A4YXM1MWVj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Matthew Kacsmaryk has devoted his career to stripping LGBTQIA+ people of their fundamental rights, opposes the #EqualityAct, and has argued that being transgender is a "delusion." Kacsmaryk is unfit to serve a lifetime appointment. #StopKacsmaryk https://t.co/dKyZOSTuE3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If the Trump Administration's partisan question is included in the 2020 census, 4 million people nationwide—incl. tens of thousands in WA—likely won't be counted. This is unacceptable and flies in the face of the constitutional mandate to count everyone. https://t.co/GOkjwiVyiY — PolitiTweet.org
