Protecting old growth forests is one of the best things we can do to mitigate the impacts of #climatechange. Sign the @standearth petition to protect the last giant trees from logging! #bcpoli https://t.co/Kd8wpq8bDr
Our work didn’t end with this relief package. Progressives will continue to push for the $15 minimum wage, monthly stimulus checks, & permanent expansion of the child allowance included in the American Rescue Plan.
Shock of shocks! After historic voter turnout, the GOP is trying to restrict who can and cannot vote. Cowardly politicians who can only win elections by suppressing the vote need to get out of politics and find a new job.
Want a $15 minimum wage, big money out of politics, and immigration reform? How about climate action, equal pay, the Justice in Policing Act, and an end to voter suppression?
The answer to each of these is simple: Eliminate the filibuster.
@KamalaHarris@VP#SaveUsKamala You have the power to put the $15 minimum wage in the Covid relief bill. You campaigned on this. You said it was unconscionable that the federal minimum wage has not changed since 2012. Be our hero.
I have heard people say $15 is too much in some parts of the country. $15 is $600 a week; $2400 month pre tax. Please show me a budget for rent, utilities, food, childcare, healthcare, school supplies and clothes that can make a lesser wage work.
Unless we take action in Washington to ensure the right to vote, states will keep passing racist voter suppression laws. We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. If that means ending the filibuster, so be it.

@VP What's your problem with giving 32 million Americans a raise? You can choose to ignore the Senate Parliamentarians (unelected). Just like Hubert Humphrey DID-TWICE! You must want to lose in 2022. Give up on $15 minimum wage in the Covid relief bill and you will.
In August, we rallied to save our post office and protect our union workers.
Today, I will be questioning Postmaster General Dejoy, and I will be bringing this same energy 🤷🏾♀️
Today marks the point in the year when millionaires stop paying into Social Security for the year. It’s long past time to #ScrapTheCap so they pay in all year, just like the rest of us!
Working people in this country are living in great desperation, so of course selfish billionaires are buying ads to try and stop the relief bill. Sorry, Charles Koch. We’re going to pass this legislation, and then we’ll make sure you pay your fair share in taxes.
