Now, with a national pandemic and record unemployment, this inequality is even more painful. Equal pay for equal work should be standard. It’s time we close the wage gap once and for all. #BlackWomenCantWait #BlackWomensEqualPay — PolitiTweet.org

Black women in the US lose nearly $1 million to the #WageGap over their working lifetimes, earning only 61 cents to every dollar white men earn. That’s $ that can’t be put towards education, putting food on the table, or savings for children’s futures. — PolitiTweet.org

@USPS can handle snow, rain, heat, and has now proven to work through a pandemic. It is clear the President is politicizing the Postal Service for his own political gain, putting our electoral system in jeopardy and disenfranchising millions in the process. — PolitiTweet.org

Funding the @USPS is essential during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet the Trump Admin continues its efforts to weaken the postal service. If President Trump is successful, Americans will have to choose between their health & safety and their fundamental right to vote in November. — PolitiTweet.org

As we continue to face the COVID pandemic, it is more important than ever that lower Hudson Valley residents have reliable electricity, telephone, and internet service. Customers deprived of these services should file claims, and service providers must address their failures NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

The #VotingRightsAct of 1965 was intended to protect this right, but little by little, voting rights are taken away from Americans. My friend, John Lewis fought for the right to vote for every American, and we must ensure that his legacy lives on. We must #RestoreTheVote for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Our utility companies have failed to learn from past storms. #Isaias left thousands of NYers without power & restoration times have yet to be announced. We need better prep and communication with the public. Governor Cuomo’s investigation into the failed response is essential. — PolitiTweet.org
