Opinion: Why grocery store workers deserve hazard pay
Grocery workers are essential workers. Given the increasing dangers as Covid-19 continues to spread, the time is now to reinstate hazard pay for all of America's grocery workers, write Kamala Harris and Marc Perrone.

Kamala Harris
The simple fact is grocery store workers are putting their lives on the line every day that they walk into the store. Hazard pay must be reinstated for them immediately.

One death every 80 seconds: The grim new toll of COVID-19 in America
“It will go away like things go away," President Trump claimed. Joe Biden says Trump is living in a world of delusion.

Kamala Harris
Trump’s bungled pandemic response has cost lives and devastated families from coast to coast. Electing @JoeBiden in November could not be more crucial.

Census, Cut Short A Month, Rushes To Finish All Counting Efforts By Sept. 30
Under pressure to meet legal deadlines Congress has not changed despite pandemic-related delays, the Census Bureau announced a new end date after NPR reported that door knocking will be cut short.

Kamala Harris
No matter what the Trump administration thinks, the Census is not a game. Generations will suffer if he gets away with this, especially communities of color.
Spread the word to get counted at 2020Census.gov.

Missouri Voters Approve Medicaid Expansion Despite Resistance From Republican Leaders
Missouri is the second state to expand the health care program via ballot measure during the pandemic. Nearly a quarter-million people could get health insurance thanks to the measure.

Kamala Harris
Incredible victory. Last night Missouri became the 38th state plus D.C. to expand Medicaid to save lives and reduce racial health disparities.
Congrats to @ProjectFairness and advocates on the ground for leading the fight to make this happen.

Sen. Kamala Harris Wants To Give Citizens $2,000 A Month
California Sen. Kamala Harris is pushing Congress to adopt her plan for a $2,000 monthly stipend for Americans and student loan forgiveness.
1
Kamala Harris
Mitch McConnell and the GOP let the additional $600 in unemployment benefits expire. They let the federal evictions moratorium expire. With rent due today, millions aren’t sure how they’ll pay.
This is why I called for monthly payments back in March.

Exclusive: Kamala Harris to introduce comprehensive environmental justice bill in Senate
“These crises we are experiencing have exposed injustices in our nation that many of us have known and fought our entire lives.”
1
Kamala Harris
Environmental justice is interconnected with every aspect of our fight for justice—we cannot disentangle the environment people live in from the lives they live. This is why I introduced a comprehensive environmental justice bill in the Senate.

In the next coronavirus relief package, it's imperative Congress ensures people have basic necessities such as a roof over their head, food on the table, safe and affordable water, and access to the internet.

5 Steps Colleges Must Take To Protect Student Voting Rights
Millions of students will vote this November—many for the first time. We cannot allow this pandemic to sever the critical tie students have to their campus communities and deny them the right to vote from a place they still call home.
1
Kamala Harris
We have a pivotal election coming up in just 98 days and it’s critical colleges take steps now to protect student voting rights and ensure their voices are heard at the ballot box.

Kamala Harris: COVID-stricken USA is desperate for a strong leader. Instead we have Trump.
If Trump and Republicans can't recognize their missteps and get serious about these crises, it’s time for them to move aside and let real leaders lead.
1
Kamala Harris
Instead of taking charge during the pandemic, Trump would rather people learn to live with their grandparents dying. Learn to live with their friends on ventilators. Learn to live with boarded up businesses.
Time to move aside and let real leaders lead.

White House seeks to block funds for coronavirus testing and tracing in relief bill
Senate GOP lawmakers, angered by the administration's position, are pushing back and trying to keep the money for testing and tracing in the bill, two Republican sources told NBC News.

Kamala Harris
The Trump administration burying their heads in the sand won’t make coronavirus magically disappear.
It’s here. It’s real. And unless Republicans grow a spine and stand up to this dangerous decision more Americans will die.

They left her there to die.
Breonna Taylor deserved better and I will not rest calling for justice until all the officers involved in her murder are charged.
