We are building a partnership with the American people to confront COVID-19.

A partnership rooted in transparency and science.

And together, we will mount an effective response to the pandemic that gets us all back to our lives and loved ones: https://t.co/msJ4ut25L3

President Biden's executive actions to address the pandemic established a COVID-19 Response Office responsible for working with all federal departments and agencies to tackle this crisis. Here's what you can expect from us:

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Ambassador Samantha Power is a world-renowned voice of conscience and moral clarity—challenging and rallying the international community to stand up for the dignity and humanity of all people. As USAID Administrator, she'll be a powerful force for principled American engagement.

[Mississippi State Department of Health @msdh]

Mississippi has received additional vaccine sufficient to continue weekly appointments. We plan to increase available appointments and vaccination locations January 25, when a larger vaccine shipment is expected: https://t.co/2ZEWX2Mp2F

[Mississippi State Department of Health @msdh]

Rain or shine, we strive to keep COVID-19 vaccinations going. This photo is from our Madison site today. Thanks to everyone who has been patient with getting an appointment, and to the thousands who have turned out for vaccinations this week.

Several studies have shown that an #ADA accommodation is often an investment rather than a cost. 58% of accommodations cost nothing at all! It nearly always costs far more to lose an employee than to accommodate them. https://t.co/BTBgWRsPEM

[Keifer @KeiferSc0tt]

@FreddyKugel Honestly, I hope artists start to push livestream shows. Way more accessible (cost, travel variants, ADA accommodation, mental health accommodation + the list goes on) and allow them to be archived by purchaser (is super duper ideal).

[United Cerebral Palsy National @UCPnational]

As advocates for people with disabilities, UCP well understands that it is only through unity, compassion and the collective pursuit of our country’s ideals that we can ever hope to achieve a fully inclusive and a just society.

[#SurvivedAndPunished @survivepunish]

Your prisons are sites of torture waging violence daily, every moment to moment, on survivors like Alisha Walker @GovPritzker. We need #ClemencyNow and mass decarceration in every form! #FreeThemAll

[Rep. Adam Smith @RepAdamSmith]

The bills exacerbate the family separation & detention crisis by allowing for the indefinite detention of both unaccompanied children & family units.
My bill, the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, would end the Trump Administration’s abuses of the immigration detention system.

[APT Geneva @apt_geneva]

#Torture survivors often block out the violence they endured in order to survive. They can also find it hard to disclose the enormity/absurdity of the pain inflicted. That's especially true when #asylum proceedings staff/State officials don't know how to address torture survivors https://t.co/OAWFUm6fRW

[CTI - Convention against Torture Initiative @cti_uncat]

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour the work of aid workers across the world assisting those displaced by conflict & violence, incl. torture survivors. Full rehabilitative care is key to help them rebuild their life & re-integrate them into the community.

The torture survivors in Sweden testify to torture, executions, electric shocks, sexual violence, gross abuse, and starvation. The women and men from Syria are using universal jurisdiction to bring to court those responsible for Assad’s torture system. #justice4syria
