Former US Sen., David Perdue revealed plans to run for Gov. against Kemp in 22'. Anticipating a national sway for future Sen. and Presidental races. Voter suppression laws in GA will influence results unless Sen. passes the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct #PM760

Removing paid sick leave from the infrastructure bill is on its way to come back and bite Congress. With the recent detection of Omicron, a new #COVID19 variant, & expired federal paid leave, workers face hard decisions on whether to go to work sick.#pm760

Rising covid cases among youth do not have to be our new normal. Pfizer vaccines are 100% effective in protecting adolescents aged 12-15 from #COVID19. Efficacy was also consistent across gender, race, and ethnicity. Mandate vaccines for youth now. #pm760 https://t.co/KpWD9rWoDC

Addressing #HealthEquity is a persistent policy issue. One tool that policymakers can use to prevent health disparities is a racial impact statement. Racial impact statements are a tool for lawmakers to assess disparities before implementation.#PM760

Previously incarcerated individuals have worse health than the general population. MA is ahead of the curve in providing specialized #healthcare to this population by implementing a reentry model to address #mentalhealth and #addiction needs.#pm760 https://t.co/Qe4BqiNPf9

Biden discussed his new $555 billion plan to reduce climate change at the United Nations climate conference. If passed, it would be the most extensive climate change action taken by the U.S. This plan will cut carbon pollution in half by 2030. #PM760 https://t.co/WrZHz5UoG9

Low-wage workers in the US unduly suffered the burden of the COV-19 crisis. COV-19+ workers without paid leave had to pick between infecting others or lost wages. Still, most states lack paid sick leave policies, and federal proposals are inadequate.#PM760 https://t.co/MPg26PKJOI

Walmart will now provide self-funded employers and their employees with access to cost-effective healthcare. About 1/2 of Americans are on employer-sponsored health plans—healthcare offerings include prescription drugs, telehealth, and more. #PM760 https://t.co/SbMvw7xqK0

Advocates and lawmakers push for #VotingRights legislation to end the “de facto disenfranchisement” of “7,000 to 9,000” incarcerated persons who are eligible to vote. The bill will be heard in the Senate later this week. #PM760

Investments in America's public health infrastructure are overdue. Congress must act now to pass Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. This plan contains significant investments in childcare, education, healthcare, climate change, and more.#pm760

We cannot make any more excuses for the existing health inequities that we see in communities of color. There are clear policy solutions that we must take. It's time.

The CODIV-19 pandemic has exacerbated many existing disparities in the U.S., housing is one of those issues. Those at risk for mass evictions are over 50% low-income and people of color who lost income during the pandemic. Learn more here:https://t.co/iXZUT2PJBM

We have to equip youth with education to know how to stay healthy and safe. Passing the #HealthyYouthAct will ensure that #sexed being taught in MA is medically accurate, age-appropriate, and LGBTQ+ inclusive. @SenWarren please co-sponsor [SD2178/HD3454]! #HealthyYouthAct #SRH785

Voting rights are #ReproductiveJustice. Folks who will be disenfranchised by Georgia voter suppression bills SB202 and HB531 are the same folks most affected by anti-abortion laws — BIPOC, LGBTQ+, low-income, and immigrants. Join the fight: https://t.co/IP780iO68G

This year, New Mexico's Gov. signed into law, S.B. 10, the Respect New Mexico Women and Families Act, repealing the abortion ban. How can we amplify and recreate this success in other parts of the U.S.? https://t.co/eOBXlvORl9
