Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Mar 7 - 12:31pm I will keep fighting for all workers across the country. And I will do everything I can to elect a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate in 2020. The best place for me to make that fight is in the United States Senate.
Believe me, we will fight. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Mar 7 - 12:31pm That’s why I’m confident it will continue to be a focus for Democrats in 2020. And I plan on making sure that happens I will keep calling out Donald Trump and his phony populism. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Mar 7 - 12:31pm We’ve seen candidates begin taking up the dignity of work fight, and we have seen voters across the country demanding it—because dignity of work is a value that unites all of us. It is how we beat Trump, and it is how we should govern. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Mar 7 - 12:31pm .@ConnieSchultz and I have spent the last few months traveling around the country to make dignity of work a centerpiece of Democrats’ 2020 campaign, and we are so grateful to everyone who has welcomed us into their communities and into their lives. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Mar 7 - 12:31pm First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your support as I ran for re-election in Ohio, and thank you for your support as we traveled the country on the Dignity of Work tour. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Wednesday Mar 6 - 8:16pm In case you needed any more proof that @realDonaldTrump's tax scam was a giveaway to Wall Street...
https://t.co/hvyKr5ji1N Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Wednesday Mar 6 - 3:36pm Too many people aren't seeing their hard work pay off. Unless we lower the cost of healthcare, guarantee benefits on the job, raise the minimum wage, and fight for fair treatment in the workplace, that threat will only become more real. https://t.co/Q4LSga99Iu Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Wednesday Mar 6 - 1:18pm This is corporate greed at its worst. GM is shutting down production even earlier than expected—putting the people who have made this company a success out of a job. It is unacceptable. The workers deserve better than this. https://t.co/AsXN5rKYDD Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Mar 5 - 9:51pm We have to talk to the people who make this country work—because we know what the consequences are when we don't. https://t.co/QvRdCAMetP
Link to Image Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Mar 5 - 7:32pm The care @ConnieSchultz brings to everything she does—teaching, writing, mentoring—is unparalleled, and it's on full display in this story.
I am so proud to be her partner.
https://t.co/2qpGLWBNBv Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Mar 5 - 4:47pm When my father was dying at the age of 89, Luke called my dad about a week before he passed, and said, "I'm thinking about you, Doc," and wished him well. Luke was so kind and considerate of others. He will be very missed. https://t.co/UcF9VQ53zl
Link to Image Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Mar 5 - 2:20pm We can—and should—end price gouging and end tax breaks for prescription drug ads. We should allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices.
No one should go without medicine because they can't afford it, while CEOs rake in millions.
https://t.co/lucqnUWhdq Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Mar 5 - 12:20pm My friend @JeffMerkley is a workhorse and champion for the people of Oregon. We can always count on him to fight for the issues that matter.
Now, we have to send him back to the Senate. Let's do this, Jeff. https://t.co/Y6XrNSY5Bs Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Mar 5 - 9:22am I'm fighting for a country where anyone can access the healthcare they need without insurmountable bills, get an education without facing massive debt, and care for their families without living paycheck to paycheck.
Because if you work hard, you ought to be able to get ahead. https://t.co/LXiWcyc38h
Link to Image Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Monday Mar 4 - 8:36pm .@realDonaldTrump, here is another way to describe your "tax cuts":
Scam (n.): a dishonest scheme, a fraud.
https://t.co/MAz9smlVnq Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Monday Mar 4 - 4:26pm This administration is a disgrace. These workers deserve the pay they've earned. https://t.co/DQBbYkG9Fr Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Monday Mar 4 - 2:01pm Very saddened by this loss. Luke Perry was not only a talented actor—but a warm, kind person who made his home state proud. My thoughts are with his friends, family, and loved ones. https://t.co/MuSHhLsWOA Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Sunday Mar 3 - 9:54pm We had a great day—thank you for taking us to the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics. See you soon. https://t.co/qgWOrRB7rW Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Sunday Mar 3 - 8:42pm What a weekend.

Link to Image Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 28 - 9:56pm Once again, this is not true, @realDonaldTrump. Your tax scam incentivized companies like GM to send jobs overseas, and now 1,600 workers are about to be laid off.
To pretend otherwise is cruel.
https://t.co/DcShNyyf0J Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 28 - 6:04pm Climate change is one of the greatest moral issues we face. We cannot let its effects become the new normal—not for us, and not for our children and grandchildren. https://t.co/e74G0KCH8I Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 28 - 4:03pm RT @letamericavote: “We now have a whole political party that’s trying to suppress the vote.” @SherrodBrown is right. The GOP is actively working to make it harder to vote. https://t.co/j2yoKPmdVr

https://t.co/BWCMYO87BR Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Wednesday Feb 27 - 8:35pm Today is a powerful example of the fact that our activism matters—and our elections have consequences. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Wednesday Feb 27 - 6:56pm No one battling cancer should also have to spend hours on the phone navigating the healthcare system. And they shouldn't be forced into massive medical debt.
Quality healthcare should be accessible and affordable. https://t.co/lTCrKxwmn6 Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Wednesday Feb 27 - 2:36pm In Ohio, the opioid epidemic kills 11 people every single day.
This is a crisis—and it demands real, meaningful action. https://t.co/YACUCAi8M6 Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Wednesday Feb 27 - 12:46pm This is a truly historic moment for Chicago. Congratulations to @ToniPreckwinkle and @LightfootForChi on advancing to the mayoral runoff. https://t.co/0oU5C6FSDb Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 10:26pm Together, we’ve seen firsthand the devastation caused by Wall Street greed. A decade after the crash, banks are making record profits—but many families still haven’t recovered.
We need to take power back from Wall Street and reward investments in communities and jobs. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 8:36pm 1,600 GM workers in Lordstown will be out of work next month. They deserve better than a president who claims auto industry jobs are coming back—after signing a tax bill that incentivized companies like GM to send jobs overseas.
https://t.co/w5g48JZOOb Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 5:56pm As Ohio Secretary of State, I worked to help more people get registered to vote. We even got McDonald's to print registration forms on their tray liners.
Too often, Republicans want to make it harder for people to make their voices heard. We have to fight back. https://t.co/RxqkGlL4lO Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 4:00pm Instead of fighting for working families, Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are taking marching orders from Wall Street.
The result? The #GOPTaxScam, which lines the pockets of wealthy executives while hardworking people struggle to make ends meet.
You deserve better. https://t.co/6dOxk8lT0D Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 2:54pm RT @nowthisnews: ‘We need to start thinking about child care as a public good’ — @SherrodBrown is prepared to fight for parents’ right to have their children properly cared for when they go to work https://t.co/9F38eb4rvB
Link to Image Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 1:44pm Trump has a history of lying and he's lying again. That's why doctors opposed this bill. We must always stand up for women's freedom to make their own healthcare decisions. https://t.co/lkaSTMDOBb Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 12:59pm For those already facing loan bills, we should make sure repayment plans are tied to income. If you’re working an entry-level job, you can’t afford to be paying hundreds of dollars a month in loans. You shouldn’t have to.
And we should forgive student loan debt after 20 years. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 12:58pm We have to get states to invest in universities and community colleges.
We can start with the Debt-Free College Act, to give states a dollar-for-dollar federal match when they invest in higher education. We also have to drastically increase funding for Pell Grants. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 12:58pm When Connie and I went to school, her father’s union salary and a part-time job were enough to put four kids through college.
The idea that you could afford that today without mountains of debt would be laughable, if it weren’t a huge problem.
https://t.co/hzGo3eO1ey Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Tuesday Feb 26 - 8:50am Dignity of work is about raising wages. It’s about giving workers more power over their lives and schedules.
It’s about making sure everyone can afford quality healthcare, childcare, housing and education.
And it’s about a tax code that puts people first. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Monday Feb 25 - 9:07pm When we demand better from our government, we can make change a reality.
The people of the Silver State have been at the forefront of this fight—so we took our Dignity of Work tour to Nevada to hear their stories. https://t.co/8EHmVdzEXf

As @ConnieSchultz can attest, Here Comes The Sun is my favorite song to listen to on the road. https://t.co/GORlXdB5ub Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Monday Feb 25 - 4:37pm It's common sense: With stricter regulations on guns, we can prevent more tragedies.
https://t.co/688O7ba6Wg Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Monday Feb 25 - 12:28pm This is certainly an ongoing battle. For work to have dignity, we need to raise the federal minimum wage and make it easier for workers to join a union, so they can collectively bargain for better pay and benefits. https://t.co/GdDnDrb5o8 Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Monday Feb 25 - 10:30am My plan would strike Trump's tax law and replace it with a system that:
- Prioritizes workers and families.
- Incentivizes businesses to invest in good-paying American jobs.
- Penalizes corporations that refuse to pay workers a living wage.
https://t.co/EZN74QKaQ3 Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Sunday Feb 24 - 8:06pm Jasmine was working four jobs at minimum wage, without paid vacation or parental leave before she had her daughter, Jaelyn.
Her story is a powerful reminder of how critical it is to expand the child tax credit and raise the minimum wage to $15. Our country must do better. https://t.co/yQ7aeCXmYf

https://t.co/E9Js24fhwi Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Saturday Feb 23 - 2:32pm While banks are making billions, workers' wages remain flat.
We need to eliminate the #GOPTaxScam and replace it with a tax code that puts workers and families first—not Wall Street and millionaires.
https://t.co/mFe8uiAl95 Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Friday Feb 22 - 9:40pm Corporations should only get a tax break if they keep jobs in the U.S. and pay their workers well. And if they pay so little that their employees are forced onto public assistance, they should have to reimburse taxpayers for subsidizing their wages. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Friday Feb 22 - 9:40pm One way we achieve the dignity of work is by passing the Patriot Corporation Act and the Corporate Freeloader Fee. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Friday Feb 22 - 4:38pm There is no dignity in work when many Americans can’t afford a $400 emergency expense, but banks are raking in billions of dollars.
We need to take the power back from Wall Street.
https://t.co/mOPcFPwu7A Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Friday Feb 22 - 1:47pm I'd love to work with you to pass my Patriot Corporation Act to only provide tax cuts to corporations that keep jobs in the US and invest in American workers. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Friday Feb 22 - 1:46pm The #GOPTaxScam didn't promote investment and innovation? I wish someone would have warned us.

To all those who've spent the last year pushing back against the gun lobby and taking steps to make our communities safer, thank you for your activism. Let's keep working. https://t.co/jx4XZEAo9t Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Friday Feb 22 - 9:55am We can change that by requiring drug companies to report and justify their decisions to increase prices, ending price gouging, and allowing Medicare to negotiate prices.
This is too important to ignore. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Friday Feb 22 - 9:54am The cost of prescription drugs is too high in this country—forcing people to look elsewhere.
https://t.co/NEOog3vM4G Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 21 - 10:02pm Trump: “We’re most proud of the fact—you look at the car companies, they’re moving back, they’re going into Michigan, they’re going into Pennsylvania, they’re going back to Ohio, so many companies are coming back.”
Reality:
https://t.co/XcrAkMv2cY Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 21 - 8:38pm Dignity of work is achieved when hard work pays off for everyone, no matter who you are or what kind of work you do.
If you would like to take some time to learn more about what that means, here’s a good resource: https://t.co/k6EUP83Uoa Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 21 - 8:36pm Actually the dignity of work is about busting myths like this one.
Truth is people are working harder and producing more—but wages haven’t kept up. Their hard work is making corporations rich. Workers have earned a raise & dignity of work is achieved by making sure they get it. https://t.co/hfcNsdLAV2 Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 21 - 7:38pm It's one of Franklin's favorites, too. (After @ConnieSchultz's book, of course). https://t.co/hyjbmP15ue Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 21 - 2:56pm 👋 I want to know more about DeRay McKesson.

This isn't one of them. https://t.co/VayPyMpE7J Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 21 - 11:32am Too many lives are lost to acts of gun violence. With students like those in Helena leading the way, I'm hopeful we can prevent more senseless tragedies. Their activism is inspiring.
https://t.co/SVRYBloFVf Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Thursday Feb 21 - 9:46am For all work to have dignity, we must:
✅ Raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
✅ Ensure workers are paid the overtime they earn.
✅ Pass equal pay for equal work laws.
✅ Make it easier for workers to join a union. Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Wednesday Feb 20 - 9:08pm Around here, every day is #LoveYourPetDay (photo by @ConnieSchultz). https://t.co/Xl20RBo08a
Link to Image Sherrod Brown 5 years ago:   Wednesday Feb 20 - 7:55pm It's hard for many people to find time on a busy Tuesday in November to get to the polls—and it's even harder if you’re working full-time, raising kids, taking care of an aging parent or relying on public transportation.
Election day should be a national holiday.
