- Another way that we can support veterans’ care: ending the federal marijuana prohibition. In 2017, more than 80% of veterans in the American Legion voted in favor of a resolution legalizing medical marijuana at the federal level. #CannabisForVets
- Some veterans come home with visible wounds. Many others carry invisible wounds. It’s okay to ask for help. You are not alone. #BeThere #WorldMentalHealthDay
- At least 5,500 veterans have died by suicide so far in 2018. That’s just this year. https://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=4074 …
- An average of 20 veterans commit suicide every day. Every day. #WorldMentalHealthDay
- We are less than one month away from an incredibly important General Election. Every single vote matters. Let’s show the momentum of our people-powered movement: do you plan to vote Nov 6?
- Remembering the thousands of water protectors who came together to stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux, to protect their water, land, and future. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #WaterIsLife
- Keeping our nation’s promise to our veterans is not a partisan issue. I’m calling for real reform at the VA. Please add your name and RT. https://aloha.votetulsi.com/page/s/fix-the-va-now …
- We honor Native Hawaiians & Native people across the country, remembering the gifts and wisdom they have shared with us all, and the pain & sacrifices they have endured. We have a responsibility to listen, respect & empower our Native brothers and sisters. #IndigenousPeoplesDay
- This makes me so angry. The GI Bill has been around since 1944. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this. This a complete failure of leadership that dishonors the great sacrifices that our veterans and their families make.
- In the midst of all that is happening right now, let us not forget to honor the service and immeasurable sacrifice of James Slape - a 23 year old National Guard soldier from North Carolina - and that of his family. He gave all. #costofwar
- Justice has been served. Most law enforcement officers sacrifice every day to serve & protect the people - my sister is one of them. Van Dyke’s actions & the cover up that followed dishonors their service. There is much to be done to reform our broken criminal justice system.
- Last year, I visited the Women’s Community Correctional Center in Oahu to learn about their transitional training programs. We need systemic reform to our criminal justice system, and to invest in programs that help with reducing recidivism and ending the cycle of incarceration.
- Thank you, @ActiveRetirees, for your endorsement. I will continue to fight for our kūpuna, to protect their healthcare, Social Security, and quality of life.
- Our oceans are sacred to all of us. They are also in peril. 30% of the carbon dioxide we produce from fossil fuels goes into our oceans, killing marine life and damaging our ecosystem. We must pass the #OFFAct now. #WaterIsLife
- A significant victory for the people in the fight to #RaiseTheWage. Let’s hope that @Amazon’s move encourages other corporations to do what’s right: paying their hard-working employees a living wage.
