There are more than 400 bills in states across the country ready to restrict and suppress our democratic right to vote. Senate Democrats are committed to working to protecting that right. It’s past time to pass the #ForThePeople Act. — PolitiTweet.org

DC isn't just home to our federal government - it's the home of nearly 700,000 Americans primarily of color who live, work, and pay taxes in the District. They deserve a voice and vote in Congress. It’s time to end over 200 years of voter suppression, we need #DCStatehood now. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the Supreme Court, the Voting Rights Act is out the window—a huge blow for our government as states are considering what I call steal your vote laws. That’s why it’s time to eliminate the filibuster which is a vestige of Jim Crow so we can protect voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org

A trailblazer and a warrior, Robert Kekaula's passion for Hawaii and its people – especially his beloved Rainbow Warriors – always shown through in his decades covering the news. His voice was a welcome presence in homes across our state, including my own. Rest in aloha, Robert. https://t.co/LElP7aFWMJ — PolitiTweet.org

Juneteenth is officially a federal holiday, but this nation must confront how far we have left to go before true justice is achieved. While Congress recognized Juneteenth, we must also act and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Women in this country earn less on the dollar compared to their male counterparts. That wage gap is far worse for women of color with Native Hawaiian women making $0.63/$1.00.
