Secretary Sanders brings eastern North Carolina common sense and a can-do attitude to tackling some of our state’s toughest issues. Her leadership has made North Carolina a more inclusive place, and you can always count on her to get the job done. https://t.co/iRz41UOifG — PolitiTweet.org

Since this pandemic started, the @NCNationalGuard has been delivering PPE, food and other critical supplies to our communities. As they wind down their COVID-19 relief efforts today, I want to thank these brave service members for helping us during this unprecedented crisis. - RC https://t.co/UMRDoovHjy — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not safe for some people to go back to work and many don’t have jobs to return to yet. If federal unemployment benefits are cut off at the end of this week, it will hurt thousands of North Carolina families as well as our local economies. https://t.co/bvP7PylYGp — PolitiTweet.org

Farmers have been working hard to keep food in our grocery stores and on our tables as our state battles COVID-19. This PPE will be distributed across North Carolina to help our farmworkers protect themselves and their families. https://t.co/jVZQJzUCJR — PolitiTweet.org

Wear a mask. https://t.co/u3voL1hnXn — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Remember, this funding has a multiplier effect, going from families’ pockets back into our local communities, helping small businesses and our economy stay afloat. This assistance will expire at the end of the week. The clock is ticking and all eyes are on Washington right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

While legislators were in session the last few months, they refused to do anything to help. When the legislature returns, I urge them to re-evaluate North Carolina’s own unemployment compensation to support people who find themselves sidelined because of this virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This extra $600 has been especially important here in North Carolina, where the legislature several years ago slashed unemployment insurance benefits to among the lowest in the nation and made them available for only 12 weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We’ve seen the dire consequences of re-opening too early in places around the country. Their hospitals and ICU beds are full and the virus is worse than it was in March and April. Many people cannot safely go back to their jobs, and many don’t have jobs to return to. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Though we right now are adding jobs back to our economy, folks are struggling and many are still out of work. So far, we’ve paid over 815,000 North Carolinians more than $6.2 billion dollars. It’ll hurt these people and our economy if their benefits are drastically reduced. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This program has been a lifeline for families and their communities, giving people the ability to pay their rent or utilities, to put food on the table and to make ends meet. I am urging Congress to act quickly to extend this benefit. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Many North Carolinians who are out of work are worried about the upcoming reduction in their unemployment benefits. The Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program offers an additional $600 a week to unemployed workers who’ve been out of work through no fault of their own. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Meanwhile, North Carolina continues to focus on ways to make testing more accessible and more available to communities that need it. @NCDHHS has expanded free COVID-19 testing to underserved communities that currently have limited testing sites. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Not only is wearing a mask the decent, neighborly thing to do, it’s the best way to boost our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

For those who continue to defy basic decency and common sense because they refuse to wear a mask — either wear one or don’t go in the store. The refusal to wear a mask is selfish. It infringes on the life and liberty of everyone else in the store. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I want to thank major retailers like Walmart, Costco, Fresh Market and Lowes and so many other businesses which are requiring face masks in their stores. This type of leadership by example shows the public that these retailers truly care about their customers and their employees. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We must keep food in our grocery stores and on our tables. To do that, we must help protect farmers and their families from this virus. I appreciate the collaboration that makes this delivery of equipment possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The 31 counties that are home to three-fourths of our state’s farm workers will receive the first delivery. This effort is a partnership among NCDHHS, NC Cooperative Extension, the state Department of Agriculture, the state Department of Labor and the NC Agromedicine Institute. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Agriculture is vital to our economy and our food supply, and it’s a tough job you can’t do from home. This personal protective equipment will be delivered this week to North Carolina Cooperative Extension centers across the state and then be distributed to our farmers. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As we continue fighting COVID-19 on many fronts, I’m glad to announce today that North Carolina is delivering over 900,000 masks and other supplies to farm workers across our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Since our last update we have passed the 100,000 mark of confirmed cases. This is a somber, serious benchmark. We pray for those who've lost loved ones to this virus. — PolitiTweet.org
