Jamel Floyd died last night at #MDCBrooklyn. Today I joined with his family and the community for a vigil and a march to the facility where we demanded #JusticeforJamel. https://t.co/FkeSTsfwwI
At 3:45 pm Eastern, I will be joining Americans across the country in honoring the memory of #GeorgeFloyd with a moment of silence lasting 8 minutes and 46 seconds. I hope you will join me. #WeAreDoneDying

I've joined with several colleagues today in drawing attention to ongoing problems at #MDCBrooklyn. We're deeply concerned about the spread of #COVID19 there among staff and those detained - and we want to be certain employees who speak out are not intimidated by #BOP.

Janitors, doormen, porters and security guards who have been deemed essential are traveling great distances in NYC to do their jobs - while risking exposure to #COVID19. They deserve hazard pay; #PPE & layoff protection. I will fight to help them get it! https://t.co/94TxIKY3Ch
As students struggle to access their online classes, @usedgov decided to lessen title IX provisions and undermine student safety. I am in shock that this is where your priorities lie, @betseydevosed

On this #CincodeMayo, let us celebrate Mexican heritage together. This is an excellent opportunity to honor the myriad contributions of Mexicans to NYC, our community and our collective culture.
Praying for all those affected by the latest quake in #PuertoRico. I am thankful early reports suggest there were no casualties. Monitoring the situation closely. https://t.co/QVzlT4eAQk

My floor speech on legislation replenishing #PPP and other @SBAgov programs. Proud this bill includes $60 B set aside for small community lenders so more truly #smallbusinesses get loans. We must do more and I'll be fighting tooth and nail to ensure small businesses get help. https://t.co/nCZPoAUcfQ
Today I was honored to represent the women of the NYC Congressional delegation in delivering #PPE to two of our local NYC nursing facilities, #CobbleHill Health Center & NYC Health + Hospitals/Gouverneur. These facilities are on the front lines of saving lives in this pandemic. https://t.co/DRB3tQSnjS
Today, I'm joining with @masksforamerica, their founder @KristinMinkDC and @NYNurses to deliver 2,500 badly needed masks to our local healthcare heroes. First stop - this moving scene at #Woodhull in BK. A profound thanks to our healthcare providers! You inspire us all! https://t.co/tvle86KX5o
Important news from @USDA: NY food pantries are being granted more flexibility so NYers can pick up food without needing to verify they are registered as "low-income" and pantries will be able to deliver boxed meals to more families. This waiver will get more food the vulnerable. https://t.co/gXvr8sQoYj

It would be unconscionable for banks to grab Americans' stimulus checks in the middle of a pandemic when families are struggling to pay rent and buy groceries. I'll be working with my colleagues to make sure these funds are protected from garnishment. https://t.co/hJmmcAt20s
ULTIMA HORA: La Corte de Distrito decidió hoy que los residentes de #Puerto Rico son elegibles para recibir beneficios de #SSI. Seguiré trabajando en este asunto desde el Congreso, pero, por ahora, esto es un paso importante para la isla. https://t.co/rFiz6ddzt9
