Despite what my Republican colleagues might tell you, racism still runs rampant in America. As a Black woman who has lived through everything from the civil rights movement of the 1960s to today’s Black Lives Matter movement, I think I would know. (3/11) — PolitiTweet.org

Our nation’s systemic problems demand systemic solutions. The GOP will not acknowledge that one such problem is systemic racism. The CROWN Act is a necessary step toward ending that. (2/11) — PolitiTweet.org

On February 28 — the last day of Black History Month — 188 House Republicans temporarily obstructed passage of the #CROWNAct. Despite what my GOP colleagues may tell you, this bill is too important to give up on. That's why today, I brought it to the floor again.🧵(1/11) — PolitiTweet.org

Black women are 1.5X more likely to be sent home from work because of their hair. Discrimination against Black women and girls because of their natural hair is far too common in our workplaces and schools. I’m proud to sponsor the #CROWNAct, which would ban this racist practice. https://t.co/ss53iDrAqa — PolitiTweet.org

Racism has no place in America. That includes discriminating against Black women and girls because of their hair naturally grows out of their head. Today, the House will vote on the #CROWNAct to put an end to this race-based discrimination. https://t.co/ph7wRxWVwK — PolitiTweet.org

Do you hear that? That's the sound of a glass ceiling being shattered. Today, the first Black woman @VP swore in the first Black woman @OMBPress director. Congratulations to Shalanda Young for making history. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

I thank @POTUS for supporting the #CROWNAct. Last month, 188 Republicans voted to block this *bipartisan* bill. When it comes to the floor again tomorrow, I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle come together and pick principle over party. https://t.co/x3mrztVwsV — PolitiTweet.org

This school's "no dreadlocks" policy is anti-Black discrimination, pure and simple. Unfortunately, policies like this are far too common. I'm bringing the #CROWNAct to the House floor tomorrow to finally put an end to this form of racial discrimination. https://t.co/FvU6PjRgSN — PolitiTweet.org

By now, we're all too familiar with @SenateGOP's commitment to blocking any and all investments in working families. Lowering costs, raising wages, and protecting our planet can’t wait for the Senate. I'm joining @USProgressives in calling on @POTUS to act — NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeff Bezos' net worth is greater than the GDP of over 100 countries. His company can afford to give its workers a $3/hr raise. I stand in solidarity with Amazon workers as they fight to be treated with the basic human dignity they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

A year ago today, a gunman sought out three Asian-owned spas in Atlanta and killed eight people. Six victims were women who were gunned down for simply being Asian. There have been over 11,000 anti-Asian hate incidents during the pandemic. Racism kills. #StopAsianHate — PolitiTweet.org

Looking for someone to blame for high gas prices? Look no further than Big Oil. Our current geopolitical moment has given oil companies the perfect cover for price-gouging. They're jacking up prices simply because they can. We must hold them accountable. https://t.co/Uj8hvOJCqi — PolitiTweet.org

HBD, RBG! Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to sit on the SCOTUS bench, was born on this day in 1933.

Today is #EqualPayDay, the day women's earnings finally catch up to what men made LAST YEAR. For every $1 a man makes, a woman only makes 83 cents. That disparity is even worse for women of color. In 2022, it's absurd that the pay gap still exists. Equal work demands equal pay. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot give up on climate action. To do so would be to give up on our future. I joined @RepCasten in demanding that @POTUS reopen reconciliation negotiations and prioritize climate. Climate change poses an existential threat to humanity. It's time for a #ClimateRestart. — PolitiTweet.org

If higher education is supposed to be "the great equalizer," it shouldn't disproportionately burden low-income students and students of color. @POTUS can #CancelStudentDebt and advance social and economic justice for millions of Americans. — PolitiTweet.org
