Sari Beth Rosenberg

Sari Beth Rosenberg: I think for the first time it's in the country's face, everything teachers do. It's hard to find silver linings now but I guess that's one of them. Normally teachers have their noses to the grindstone but now people are aware of how much we do

@saribethrose

Sarah Burris

Sarah Burris: Trump blamed the Obama admin for not leaving enough tests. Ummm, 3 years ago the coronavirus wasn't a thing. And Trump spent 3 years destroying things like the pandemic task force.

@SarahBurris

@RawStory

Cristina Novoa

Cristina Novoa: We've been talking a lot lately about "flattening the curve"--child care centers & schools are doing the right thing by closing, but that can put essential workers in a tough spot, incl healthcare workers.

@CristinaMNovoa

@CAPEarlyEd

@CAPActio

Peter Morley

Peter Morley: I'm doing everything in my power, the Lupus Foundation of America has plans of action we can take, but we need YOU to help call Congress, too.

Leonie Haimson

Leonie Haimson: In NYC we have about 5x as many coronavirus cases as any other state has, incl. CA. There are trailers outside hospitals to collect the dead bodies. Meanwhile, teachers continue trying to educate kids remotely.

@leoniehaimson

Mia Ives Rublee

Mia Ives-Rublee: I was not surprised at all when the bill said poor people & those with disabilities should only get half the amount of money as everyone else would get. Things like this have been happening for the history of our country.

@SeeMiaRoll

Bob Ney

Bob Ney: If India gets in a major crisis, they're going to hold some of these medicines or medicinal components for themselves. Rick: As we would if we were in their shoes.

@BobNey

John Perkins

John Perkins: Maybe this virus is the thing that will kick us in the butt. We've got to touch that jaguar--then we get the power to understand that change isn't that bad. We can move into a whole new economic system where we employ ppl to clean up environment.

Keith Pochick

Dr. Keith Pochick: Most of our patients arrive in their own vehicles, which are the perfect isolation method.

@DemWrite

Pat Garofalo

Pat Garofalo: We need to have a recurring check for Americans for as long as this pandemic goes on. It needs to be sustaining.

@Pat_Garofalo

Jeremy Dominick

Jeremy Dominick: We prison guards may contract COVID-19 & not know it while spreading it to grocery stores, pharmacies, etc., & then the elderly may contract it.

Tom Brier

Tom Brier: My parents met on Bob Casey's campaign in 1986. The first thing he did when he won was commission a statue of a steelworker outside the mansion to always remember the workers who built PA.

@Brier4Congress

Propane Jane

Propane Jane: Turn Trump off. Don't listen to him. There's nothing useful that will come from him. Because he has the title of President of the United States, ppl feel obligated to listen to & respect him. Stop.

@docrocktex26

Bob Ney

Bob Ney: McConnell should realize that with this situation, he can't hold out forever to give Corporate America what they want. BTW, don't you think Andrew Yang has to be pulling his hair out?!

Richard-Hooker

Richard Hooker: One thing that Pres. Trump should do is put pressure on the companies to make sure that the people who keep America moving are protected. We need gloves, clean facilities, soap & sanitizer, masks if needed.
