We've seen you stand up and speak out for justice, and now its time for Congress to take action. I'll be joining the @HouseJudiciary hearing on ending police brutality shortly. Hope you'll tune in: https://t.co/qte3G8z1vk — PolitiTweet.org

The Equal Pay Act became law 57 years ago today. However, our work isn't anywhere near done. On average, Black women make 62¢ on the dollar a white man makes. For Native women, it's 57¢. For Latinas, it's 54¢. The Senate must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. It's long overdue. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

It's been more than one year since the House passed the Equality Act. The Senate needs to act now. We must finally guarantee full civil rights and equality for LGBTQ+ people. https://t.co/AQR0ireblS — PolitiTweet.org

Seattle's own Andrè Taylor has turned the unimaginable tragedy of his brother, Che, being killed by police into powerful, remarkable activism for our community. WA is a fundamentally better, more just state because of his leadership and determination. https://t.co/PuDh4AXkSM — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

I've been moved by seeing the way our community has not just forced a necessary conversation but prompted necessary action these past few weeks. Looking forward to giving updates on our work and answering your questions at tomorrow's 6:00 PT town hall. Hope you'll join us! https://t.co/RrVlx0mglz — PolitiTweet.org

Facial recognition software has been weaponized by police forces against Black people across the country. This decision by IBM is a good first step. Let’s make sure other companies like @Amazon follow suit. https://t.co/dX9fAUGaXN — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This is no accident. Black and brown people have been kept out of our elections—100% on purpose and by design. We must end racist voter suppression efforts, restore and expand voting rights, and build a Democracy that ensures every voice is heard. https://t.co/KoPRzYGSM5 — PolitiTweet.org

As usual, the Sikh community is on the side of justice. As South Asians, it is crucial that we continue using our voices in the fight against anti-Blackness. https://t.co/vHJggiz8O3 — PolitiTweet.org

"George turned to me and said 'I want to touch the world.'" As George’s family laid his body to rest today, may we also remember the life of this incredible man. Rest in power, George Floyd. https://t.co/ufUMZgqPaT — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This legislation is a bold step towards real justice and full accountability while taking on police brutality in communities across the country. I'll fight to ensure it passes the House. https://t.co/NLzYB7REOF — PolitiTweet.org

Immigrants in ICE detention facilities still have limited ability to physically distance and follow public health precautions. Every day that we don’t pass my First Act, more immigrant lives are needlessly put in harm’s way. https://t.co/b9HrQlu3N9 — PolitiTweet.org

The rate of people experiencing homelessness was already growing before this crisis, but COVID has made the situation a lot worse. My Housing Is A Human Right Act would authorize $300 billion for critical housing infrastructure. https://t.co/s1CWMPndOo — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Many of our Black brothers, sisters, and siblings are currently experiencing the triple threats of a global pandemic, pervasive anti-Blackness, and police violence. We must act urgently and boldly to address all three. https://t.co/MdbLYh94w0 — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must act boldly and quickly to end police brutality and the militarization of law enforcement. Today's Justice in Policing Act ensures that we do exactly that. https://t.co/5owA1KxNqs — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Thousands are not only protesting against police brutality but against systems that are patently unjust. We must build a country that ensures racial and economic justice for all. The time to act is now. https://t.co/qN4ShrfEiI — PolitiTweet.org

As PPP failed to help minority-owned businesses, the unemployment rate for Black workers continued to rise. Our policy responses to COVID-19 shouldn't leave some workers behind. The Paycheck Recovery Act will get urgent relief to ALL workers. https://t.co/abrssOl29F — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This legislation is a bold step towards justice and accountability. I'll fight to swiftly move it though Congress. We need everyone across the country to continue building the public pressure necessary to get this approved by the House, passed in the Senate and signed into law. — PolitiTweet.org

8⃣It works to END the militarization of law enforcement by restricting the program that allows military equipment to transfer to local departments. It also requires federal, state, and local law enforcement to use existing federal funds to ensure the use of police body cameras. — PolitiTweet.org
