We have failed our most vital workers for too long. Now, with the Essential Workers Bill of Rights, we have a chance to right these wrongs and ensure that they’re properly protected and cared for — during this crisis and beyond. #ProtectEssentialWorkers — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Frontline workers are at risk every day. It's time to give them the pay & benefits they’ve always deserved: ✅ Health & safety protections like PPE ✅ Full health care & child care support ✅ Paid sick, family & medical leave ✅ Hazard pay & an end to worker misclassification — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Everyday, 60 million people ensure that we have food, internet and electricity, that the sick are being cared for, and more. They're keeping America running and they don't have the support they need. @ewarren and my Essential Workers Bill of Rights would change that. — PolitiTweet.org

We are in the midst of another financial crisis and conservatives are criticizing the financial sense of the millions of Americans who live paycheck-to-paycheck. Where is the concern for corporations that spent millions on stock buybacks and now don't have money for payroll? https://t.co/2ilDOogqVI — PolitiTweet.org

Employer-sponsored insurance was an issue even before COVID-19, as average premiums have risen 54 percent over the past decade. Millions have lost both their jobs and their health care. https://t.co/7KwegWCesj — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

A one-time check isn't enough when millions of Americans can't pay their rent, mortgages, utility bills, and are forced to choose between their health and their paychecks. Our next stimulus package must be bold in supporting ordinary Americans. https://t.co/s9Hih2ql7P — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Every day, 60 million Americans are still going to work, risking their lives to keep our economy going. @ewarren and I wrote the Essential Workers Bill of Rights for them. Because they deserve safer conditions, health care, hazard pay & paid sick, family & medical leave. https://t.co/tlG5KAkc1G — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The black and brown communities that have the most COVID-19 cases and deaths had underfunded hospitals and health inequities that existed before this crisis began. This pandemic stresses why we must end health care injustice with Medicare for All. https://t.co/cH8u4DYcYY — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

After almost 17 million people have lost their jobs in the past three weeks, I don't want to hear anyone say that it makes sense for health care to be tied to employment. Medicare for All will guarantee health care for every American from the day they are born. https://t.co/RIlTNsTUYA — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There could be up to 10 million Americans ineligible for stimulus payments because they don't earn enough to file taxes. These are the people who need our help the most during this crisis. The next stimulus package must help them also. https://t.co/sEQ5EXExJT — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Now is the time to stand in solidarity with: ✅ Healthcare workers ✅ Instacart workers ✅ Amazon workers ✅ Gig workers ✅ All those who are exposing themselves to #COVID19 at work They are essential workers and need our bold support during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

The curve is starting to flatten in NY, CA & other areas due to social distancing. Santa Clara led the way. Our patchwork system with stay-at-home orders in some states & not others is putting this progress at risk. We need a national shelter-in-place. https://t.co/tskIbf47LJ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

What happened in Wisconsin should not happen again. It is voter suppression to have Americans choose between their right to vote and their health. To protect both our democracy and people’s lives, we must have national vote-by-mail. https://t.co/wow7vETaBr — PolitiTweet.org

The president talked repeatedly about "draining the swamp" on the campaign trail but he's lacked transparency since day one. Now he's fired the watchdog in charge of overseeing the COVID-19 emergency funds. The American people deserve accountability. https://t.co/ugtwwpEX98 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

At a time when job losses are skyrocketing & people aren't sure how they'll pay their bills, it's no surprise that 31% of renters didn't make their rent on time. This will only get worse. Rent cancellation during the crisis would provide needed relief for millions of people. https://t.co/w9CeX4KSSS — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

6.6 million more people filed for unemployment. COVID-19 has now cost nearly 17 million people their jobs, income & health insurance. The next relief package must be centered on them. Cancel rent & mortgages during the crisis & provide healthcare for all. https://t.co/YQ6F1NsRlr — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It shouldn't take a pandemic to make insulin affordable for every American who needs it. We need to end pharmaceutical greed & implement Medicare for All so that no one ever has to worry about affording their prescriptions, during COVID-19 or otherwise. https://t.co/SsA7iqjdB9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

COVID-19 presents a dire risk to the United States because millions of people avoid doctor visits due to the cost — even when they are sick. We must never again neglect to invest in public health and make sure that every American has healthcare from the day they are born. https://t.co/q9YOZcILQa — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Like health care workers, grocery workers risk their lives every day. Just like doctors and nurses, they deserve to be protected. Walmart, Amazon & other corporations can afford to provide them paid sick leave, protective equipment, and a living wage. https://t.co/Fa73Px0RXT — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of Americans are risking their health everyday as nurses, doctors, home health aides, child care workers, grocery store employees, delivery drivers and workers in other essential services. They must be protected at work and paid living wages. — PolitiTweet.org

Millennials already have less wealth, more student debt & lower rates of homeownership as a generation. They came of age during the Great Recession and now a third have lost their jobs as a result of COVID-19. Our young people need immediate relief. https://t.co/O63m9dxIWT — PolitiTweet.org
