Let’s cut through the GOP spin that Democrats have been blocking small business relief. Democrats want vastly expanded funding for REAL small businesses. Republicans oppose it. They want to pass a pittance now and destroy all our leverage. We’re fighting for real support. — PolitiTweet.org

"Essential workers" are disproportionately people of color. Every essential worker, regardless of race, wealth, or location, should have access to free protection equipment. — PolitiTweet.org

Any real solution also needs to include a comprehensive strategy to address health issues and disparities in minority communities, as well as food security. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The next emergency relief needs to include targeted support for “essential” workers, including cleaning staff, security officers, food workers, and others, including enhanced pay and health care, and protecting their right to organize for their own protection. — PolitiTweet.org

I have heard from numerous constituents regarding issues with their emergency relief checks. This weekend, I wrote to @stevenmnuchin1 asking for swift clarification of status, rules, and review, and for checks to get to people ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

@IamQuidpro I agree, it's unacceptable. https://t.co/Hcupv8F6OH — PolitiTweet.org

@MelcherCharlene Hi Charlene, I do want to make sure that you know that self-employed individuals are eligible for the additional federal UI relief that we passed (if you're able to get onto the Florida system). — PolitiTweet.org

We can get through this pandemic, I have no doubt about that. But we need smart, decisive, strategic leaders who listen to the experts. My conversation with @AMJoyShow: https://t.co/7173IikpUW — PolitiTweet.org

The governor should immediately use his power to increase Florida’s pathetic $275/week unemployment assistance and increase the amount of time that it’s available. — PolitiTweet.org

I have joined Senator Rubio and others to ask the administration to ensure that Florida’s fishing businesses have access to the vital federal support they need to survive this health and economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Starting Monday in Florida, you can use SNAP to buy groceries online for curbside pickup. This is the right decision and will keep families safe. https://t.co/arv3zsXtMx — PolitiTweet.org

It is indisputable that the true number of infections and fatalities in Florida is higher than has been reported. I join @RepTedDeutch and @RepShalala to call on @GovRonDeSantis to release additional data so we can protect Floridians. — PolitiTweet.org

Communities of color nearly always suffer disproportionate harm during economic crises, but with the right data and oversight, we can prevent these unfair outcomes. — PolitiTweet.org

The PPP needs to be distributed fairly, yet many minority businesses have reported difficulties accessing them. Lenders should be required to report on the demographics of who is receiving these loans. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

It’s been over a month since Congress expanded unemployment benefits to cover self-employed people and independent contractors. Florida has still not explained how they can access that money. That’s unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Local governments are stepping up to this crisis, but they have limited resources. The president should waive the required cost sharing for FEMA assistance, giving communities the ability to access services that will save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The CARES Act expansion to unemployment insurance (up to $600 more per month on top of Florida’s paltry $275) was a critical lifeline for laid-off Floridians. It’s been over a month. Floridians need answers from @GovRonDeSantis about exactly when and how that money is coming. — PolitiTweet.org
