We will not heal as a nation through silence or violence, but through justice, through progress, through activism and action. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s use of the military to crack down on peaceful protesters in our nation’s capital will long be remembered as one of our country’s darkest chapters. — PolitiTweet.org

In front of a White House that is supposed to symbolize democracy and freedom. They are nightmares our children will read about in history books. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

Tear gas. Projectiles. Men in full body armor and military gear attacking Americans citizens protesting peacefully. These are not just scenes from the civil rights marches of a bygone era. They are images the world witnessed just this week in our nation’s capital. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

We need a president with empathy and experience to heal our nation and move us forward, not a demagogue who tear gasses his own citizens for a photo-op. We need @JoeBiden. — PolitiTweet.org

Black Americans have also been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Just as Black Americans can’t breathe under the weight of police brutality, they also can’t breathe under the weight of Trump’s massive failure of leadership during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

The African American unemployment rate is 16.8% and Hispanic unemployment is 17.6% — these are near record high rates that are far higher than the 12.4% rate for white Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

The global pandemic is exacerbating Trump's economic failures, and our communities of color are taking it on the chin. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

Behind these job numbers are real people. People who are struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table. When the president declares this number to be joyous, I don’t know who he is referring to. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

If Trump had taken bold action instead of delaying, denying, and ignoring the advice of public health experts, he could have saved lives and jobs. Now the American people are suffering the consequences of his incompetence. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

Families are struggling, hospitals are overwhelmed, businesses have shut down for good, and Americans are dying every day — all of this was preventable. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

21 million Americans are unemployed. That’s one-fifth of the American workforce. And Trump says he’s “joyous”? — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

Today, I’m joining a National Day of Mourning. Our country has suffered so much loss at the hands of the very people who swore to protect and defend. As George Floyd is laid to rest, we grieve with his family and friends, and we will continue to fight for justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

Six years ago, Michael Brown was taken from his family unnecessarily. Since his death, the city rose up to dismantle its discriminatory law enforcement practices; yesterday, they elected @Ella4Ferguson. Congratulations, Ella! You’re a testament to the possibility of real change. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

The initial charges in the murder of George Floyd fell short. I’m grateful for @keithellison and his commitment to equal justice under the law. The decision to charge Derek Chauvin with second-degree murder, and to charge the other complicit officers is the right thing to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

This #ImmigrantHeritageMonth, we stand with our immigrant and refugee colleagues, friends, families, and neighbors as they fight back against a president who attacks immigrants at every turn. Prejudice is not patriotism, and discrimination is not a national security strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

We need political, moral, and empathetic leadership to begin to heal our wounds and move our country forward. LGBTQ discrimination and racism will not end in one presidency, but the difference between progress and losing even more ground has never been more stark. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

Pride is a time not just for celebration, but for reflection and appreciation of those who fought for the rights we enjoy today, and for the work that remains unfinished. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

The more than 40 million Americans whose livelihoods have been ripped away, with record unemployment in the Hispanic community. We are reminded each and every day of the pain faced by people of color in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Perez @TomPerez

The murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and far too many Black Americans. The more than 100,000 Americans — disproportionately Blacks and Latinos — who have lost their lives to coronavirus. — PolitiTweet.org

This year’s #PrideMonth comes at a dark time for our country, and for so many members of the LGBTQ community. — PolitiTweet.org

Civil rights is the unfinished business of America — and it is everyone’s responsibility. We not only need to hold these officers accountable, but also address the broader systemic racism that plagues every corner of our society. https://t.co/AXFvuAwoeq — PolitiTweet.org

And we will keep seeking justice for their families — and the families of those whose tragedies weren’t captured on video — by fighting to end police brutality and the institutional racism that pervades every aspect of our society. — PolitiTweet.org
