These disparities existed years before the #coronavirus brought them to light. I’m fighting for those hardest hit by introducing bills like the COVID-19 Prevention and Awareness Act, helping community health centers protect our most vulnerable communities. https://t.co/6cRy28qAP7
The pandemic has laid bare the structural inequalities that plague our country. That's why I'm opening the #117Congress by introducing a bill to dedicate $2.1 billion for community health centers to help treat and prevent COVID-19 for at-risk patients. https://t.co/4FfCurbl45

This is a first step in strengthening community engagement among the housing developments and precincts to achieve the prevention and response efforts that we need now.
This bill isn't perfect & we need more under a Biden. But, I'm proud to have secured set-asides for underserved small businesses, so PPP doesn't only favor well-connected. And small businesses need grants, so we are allocating more to fund grants. We will keep fighting.

This report is appalling. CDC officials were directed to destroy certain evidence that the Trump Admin directed them to destroy #COIVD19 findings. The President is incapable of setting aside his own ambition to protect the lives of our citizens. https://t.co/gBiaToGcl6
Jeff Bezos, workers are not expendable and Amazon must follow all public health guidelines and COVID protocols. In June, I lead a brief in support of New York-based Amazon workers suing the company over dangerous conditions. This is unacceptable.
These artificially-driven rent increases in rent-regulated apartments put undue pressure on tenants already struggling to make rent. This behavior is abhorrent and exploitative: these tenants are must receive the justice they are due. https://t.co/unMKxWRFsn
Our existing housig crisis has only grown during this pandemic. I’ve just brought legislation before Congress to reestablish the Federal-Financing Bank and Risk Sharing Program, which played a major part in creating affordable rental housing in our city. https://t.co/rPke1fP1Th https://t.co/SGFT49qCxy
Michael Flynn actions were corrupt and illegal and he ought to be held accountable. I've cosponsored the Protecting Our Democracy Act, so we can make reforms that prevent any president from abusing the pardon power. QT @AP: BREAKING: President Donald Trump says he has pardoned his former national security adviser Michael Flynn. https://t.co/rXKNEU1V2R)
A privilege to spend the afternoon before Thanksgiving, helping to ensure seniors in my district have a good meal for the celebrations. Thanks to @yuhline, @FDNYPhoenixSoc, and all the volunteers who were a part of this. https://t.co/fqYlAfyRQ6
My colleagues and I are demanding that @CBP answer for and explain these prolonged detentions. This is heart wrenching and cruel. (2/2) https://t.co/LXnCCzA1Rg
.@CBP has detained children as young as one month old in a blatant disregard of federal law. The law requires these kids be kept in safe conditions, and are either transferred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement or released with their families. (1/2)
Our city has suffered from rising sea levels and flooding. We must take this threat seriously & implement bold climate solutions. With my newly introduced bill, we can arm coastal towns with the data they need to prepare against rising sea levels. https://t.co/cAjpnUuR9N
The Latino story is an American story. It’s past time for it to be told. It’s past time for a @Smithsonian Latino Museum! https://t.co/6CWefavP9a
Today we witnessed the start of dredging at the Gowanus Canal Superfund Site. We’ve come a long way: I’m thrilled to celebrate this step towards a sustainable Brooklyn alongside @GowanusCConserv, @GowanusCAG, @bradlander, @JoAnneSimonBK52, @EPAregion2 & all the Gowanus community. https://t.co/51hrXvi6H4
