No one should be forced to choose between their health and their right to vote. I announced a new bill today to authorize $5 billion to expand early voting and vote-by-mail, and ensure safe in-person voting. https://t.co/KBmvkzsEUE — PolitiTweet.org

Black communities are disproportionately suffering from COVID-19. Unfortunately, this news didn’t come as a surprise to me or anyone familiar with our country’s shameful legacy of racial inequality. Read my op-ed. https://t.co/97Opr9C3aQ — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to joining @RepAdams later today, along with my friends @SenBooker and @RepUnderwood, for a discussion on Black maternal health and what must be done to confront this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Even before the pandemic, Native Americans, Black and Latinx voters, and voters with disabilities faced barriers to the ballot box. We have to fight back. Today, I’m announcing the VoteSafe Act to protect every American's fundamental right to vote. https://t.co/FG4lTok7UN — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This is the right move by the Bureau of Prisons and precisely why my colleagues and I pushed for it earlier this month. But let’s be clear: it’s absurd to charge inmates fees for phone calls in the first place. https://t.co/mBjqLRSxon — PolitiTweet.org

At Otay Mesa Detention Center, immigrants were reportedly asked to sign waivers to get face masks. In the middle of a pandemic. That’s one of the reasons I’m calling for an investigation into the conditions at Otay Mesa. https://t.co/HsrPKvIS4e — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This pandemic has blown the lid off something many of us have known our entire lives: there are deep racial disparities in our country’s health care system. This Black Maternal Health Week, it's critical that we speak truth about the ongoing crisis of Black maternal mortality. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Today, I'm demanding an investigation into the treatment of people held at Otay Mesa Detention Center. Otay Mesa has the most COVID-19 cases of any ICE immigration detention facility and DHS isn't doing enough to prevent inhumane conditions. We need answers and accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Coronavirus appears to be disproportionately killing people of color and Congress needs to wake up and address this injustice. Today, I'm pushing Senate leadership to prioritize funding to combat racial health disparities in COVID-19 testing and outcomes. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

.@AOC is right. FEMA provides Disaster Funeral Assistance for natural disasters—but not pandemics. There's no reason for this. Last month, I introduced a bill to fix that. https://t.co/GvnHLxOgxL — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Black Americans are infected and dying from COVID-19 at alarming rates, and we need demographic data to understand the full scope of the issue. Proud to join my colleagues on a bill today to require the federal government to collect and report this data. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Racial disparities in health care existed long before the coronavirus pandemic—especially when it comes to the maternal health of Black women. https://t.co/OaufZFMgOS — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Too many minority-owned businesses are being left out of coronavirus relief programs. And the truth is that our neighborhoods won't look the same without these businesses. The administration must do more to prioritize relief for them. https://t.co/VbqZ8Qobe7 — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This can’t be missed from the weekend: instead of trying to support and protect all essential frontline farm workers, the administration is seeking to lower wages for some of them. This is absurd—we must fight for all farm workers. https://t.co/yPeH4C7Gvv — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

COVID-19 doesn't care about the party with which you're registered to vote. Congress needs to come together to pass additional relief. That has to include: -free coronavirus treatment -more support for small businesses -paid sick leave for all, and more. https://t.co/VxnPD7McfJ — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Today, I'm proud to reintroduce a resolution with @RepAdams to recognize this week as Black Maternal Health Week. We need to confront the reality that Black mothers are dying at higher rates from pregnancy-related causes. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The IRS has started to disburse the $1,200 payments, but we must continue the fight for recurring monthly payments. One-time payments are not enough to get our country through this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The past two months have made clear that the federal government was unprepared to confront the coronavirus pandemic. I'm proud to help introduce this bill to ensure these mistakes don’t happen again. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Last week, I called for a suspension of credit card interest, fees, and penalties because no one should profit off of those who are hurting in the midst of this pandemic. https://t.co/BCxFIvGuVb — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The Otay Mesa immigration detention center in San Diego now has the most COVID-19 cases of any detention facility. DHS has failed to take sufficient action to protect vulnerable people in these facilities. That needs to change—now. https://t.co/Wt3Hx5fVrP — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It's important to hold onto moments of joy in the midst of these difficult days. Wishing everyone renewed hope and happiness this Easter Sunday! My tip for those celebrating away from loved ones: call or video chat instead of text—it's so much better to hear people's voices. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Grateful to @RepRashida, @RepPressley, @RepRaskin, @repcleaver, @RepEscobar, @Ilhan, and @RepAOC for their leadership on this issue. People are hurting and need recurring monthly payments to get through this crisis—now. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Even before this pandemic began, nearly half of Americans were a $400 unexpected expense away from financial disaster. A one-time direct payment isn't enough—we need recurring monthly payments. That's why I'm pushing Congressional leaders on this very issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The coronavirus pandemic is highlighting long-existing racial disparities in our health care system that Black communities know all too well. As we begin Black Maternal Health Week, we must also speak truth about the crisis afflicting Black mothers and babies. https://t.co/BiAWeLprtm — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Any week now, SCOTUS may rule on DACA and upend the lives of thousands of young people. It’s unconscionable to issue a ruling when over 200,000 DACA recipients are essential workers in this crisis, including 29,000 in the health care industry. SCOTUS must delay its ruling. — PolitiTweet.org
