Today the U.S. Supreme Court took significant action to protect LGBTQ workers from discrimination. Many have feared getting fired simply because of who they are or who they love. This decision marks a historic, necessary change to ensure equality and inclusion for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Oregon's Class of 2020: I can’t wait to see what you do next. In case you missed it, you can watch my statewide commencement address here (https://t.co/Fpm95TJJbB) celebrating your tenacity and all you've achieved. Congratulations, graduates! https://t.co/GHLWxf9ZXh — PolitiTweet.org

Graduation is a momentous milestone – I remember mine like it was yesterday. Join me today for a statewide commencement address on @OPB TV at 2:30pm & radio from 10:30-11am (https://t.co/XLwkWwFulB) to celebrate all that Oregon's Class of 2020 has achieved. Congrats, graduates! https://t.co/O1rmJsmCvf — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

The lack of a traditional graduation ceremony can’t diminish the magnitude of the Class of 2020's accomplishments. Tomorrow, join me in celebrating all they've achieved with a statewide commencement address on @OPB TV & radio. https://t.co/GsgPdlXKw3 — PolitiTweet.org

Voting by mail should be implemented nationwide. Pass it on. — PolitiTweet.org

Make no mistake about it: Chipping away at anyone’s health insurance during a global pandemic is reckless and heartless. The trans community deserves better from this white house and their leaders. This will have devastating impacts and is wrong. https://t.co/ZrWpSQkTkp — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout our nation's history, women have served courageously on and off the battlefield. On Women Veterans Day, we celebrate the contributions of the 25,000 women veterans who live in Oregon, as well as all those who came before them. Thank you for your service. https://t.co/2DYxcQ1UBd — PolitiTweet.org

Help slow the spread of COVID-19. Whether you're going to the grocery store or seeing relatives, it's vital to: wear a face covering, keep 6 feet apart, wash/sanitize your hands, and stay home if you're sick. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I know how difficult this is for business owners who had planned to reopen this weekend, investing significant time, ordering supplies, and rehiring staff. I consulted with health experts on this tough decision. Ultimately, I have to protect public health. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

The statewide one-week pause on additional reopening is the result of an increase in COVID-19 cases in both urban and rural parts of Oregon. This pause will give public health experts time to assess the spread of the virus and determine if we need to adjust our approach. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Tune in for my press conference at 9am about the one-week statewide pause on pending county applications for reopening: https://t.co/2AFErsIQed — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

This one-week pause will give public health experts time to assess what factors are driving the spread of the virus. I will use the data we see in the next week to determine whether to lift this pause or extend it. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I am putting all county applications for further reopening on pause for seven days. Think of it as a statewide “yellow light.” Multnomah County will not enter Phase 1 yet and Hood River, Marion, and Polk will not enter Phase 2 yet. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Multnomah County does not currently meet the health and safety criteria to enter Phase I for decreasing hospitalizations, test positivity, and tracing of COVID-19 cases. Other communities – urban and rural – are seeing spikes in case counts. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

As we began reopening nearly a month ago, I was clear that reopening Oregon comes with risks, and that COVID-19 case counts would rise. We now see a significant increase in COVID-19 infections in counties across Oregon and it is cause for concern. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Glad to see @taylorswift13 joining the vote-by-mail movement! More Oregonians than ever before voted in our recent primary election, and no one had to risk their life to cast their ballot. It's time for every state to vote from home in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I've been inspired to see tens of thousands of Oregonians raising their voices to demand justice and make it clear that #BlackLivesMatter. I stand with you. And I want you to stay healthy. https://t.co/qmGuq34zvv — PolitiTweet.org

The pandemic has disproportionately impacted BIPOC students. My Healthy Schools Reopening Council will include community voices so students can return to school safely with equitable access to the tools to learn and achieve. https://t.co/zYpJM2uDx8 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Returning to school in the fall will not look the same as it did before COVID-19. The @ORDeptEd Ready Schools, Safe Learners process will help communities develop reopening plans that keep students safe and provide them with a high-quality education. https://t.co/pgygfjq5qr — PolitiTweet.org

In the beginning of this pandemic, we moved quickly to protect residents and staff of long-term care facilities with strict visitation policies. Now, we will test all residents and staff, starting with facilities most at-risk. https://t.co/YPoFC62tFx — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Every eligible voter deserves to have their voice heard – that's the foundation of our democracy. Before November, every state should follow Oregon’s lead and enact vote by mail. It's safe, secure, accessible, and protects public health. https://t.co/AHMwDvRpzH — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to preventing wildfires, there’s a lot at stake. Last year, almost 80,000 acres burned in Oregon; over 70% of our wildfires are started by people, often from debris burning or unattended campfires.

The @ORemployment will leave no stone unturned until 100% of eligible Oregonians get their unemployment checks. Starting last week, 154 state employees from across state government volunteered to call Oregonians waiting on claims and clear the backlog. https://t.co/fXbZ9IJKM5 — PolitiTweet.org

During #PrideMonth, I'm remembering the trans women of color at Stonewall who kickstarted so much progress on LGBTQ rights. In our quest for justice & equality, we've made big strides – but we still have so far to go. We can't rest until *everyone* is safe, included, and valued. https://t.co/pdN3x2dqMt — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

As we build a safe and strong Oregon, we must reopen carefully, guided by science. Counties are in baseline, Phase 1, and Phase 2, depending on health metrics. Please stay local to protect our communities. Visit https://t.co/Xgqb3oMI5A to learn more about your county status. https://t.co/D3ujpcuomY — PolitiTweet.org

On the anniversary of D-Day, when American service members put their lives on the line to end WWII in Europe, we reflect on their bravery and sacrifice. Help @OregonDVA collect their stories, to inspire more generations with their courage and dedication. https://t.co/XJuB7LVtwG https://t.co/hQQWfK7jjT — PolitiTweet.org

This should have been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday. But instead of celebrating, we're mourning that her life was taken 84 days ago by police officers. Today, we remember, we #SayHerName – and we work for racial justice so it never happens again. — PolitiTweet.org
