We need real paid sick leave,
right now,
for every worker,
no exceptions.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 14, 2020
Lysol at Food Bazaar in East Williamsburg has been going for $13 a can. It usually costs less than half that. @JumaaneWilliams, the @NewYorkStateAG’s office, and I are united in not tolerating #COVID19-related price gouging from them or their distributor.https://t.co/AsUebumzVP

Saddened to learn of the first coronavirus related death here in NYC
Seniors w/other conditions are extremely vulnerable to #COVID19. We know 80-90% of ppl who get the virus won’t experience most serious symptoms, but we must all do our part to protect those who are most at-risk

It's been a long, tough week with a great deal of stressful news. I know. Please, please take time to step back and check in on friends and loved ones. Make sure to take care of yourselves. Take a deep breath and if you can, get off of Twitter. Sending love and strength ?

I’m standing with @NYCMayor and leaders from across New York to tell Senator Mitch McConnell to pass the #FamiliesFirst Coronavirus Response Act IMMEDIATELY.
It will unlock billions for New York to contain the virus’s spread, for free testing, to cover mounting costs, and more. pic.twitter.com/Gy3gfbQ2ap

All of us can take simple, responsible steps to mitigate the spread of coronavirus and protect ourselves and those around us from transmission.
Even small acts like regularly washing your hands or disposing of soiled materials can make a significant difference. pic.twitter.com/sIeP4XmfxL

In the midst of the #coronavirus the last thing anyone should have to worry about is losing their home. We must freeze all evictions for owners and tenants. #covid19

Cops, firefighters, EMS, and medical professionals aren't able to work from home. They're on the front lines, and their safety must be prioritized and their health protected.

When it comes to fighting #COVID19, we need to prepare for the worst as we work for the best.
That's why I'm working closely with local leaders and experts in the Hudson Valley to make sure families have the resources they need.
