Manufacturing workers in the Midwest are the best in the world. Federal leaders can support them by making it easier for them to join a union - not with misguided tariffs and corporate subsidies.

A4: Though it’s welcome news to see case counts in urban areas in Ohio begin to plateau, this is *not* the case for all Ohioans across the state. #AllInForOHChat https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310645541840261120
Q4. Ohio is a state with rural areas and big cities. How are the pandemic and recession affecting these different communities? #AllInForOHChat #Debates2020
Allowing COVID to destroy Black, brown, and Indigenous communities is unacceptable. To ensure we can prevent the spread and heal from this pandemic, we first need accurate and up to date information on COVID testing, treatment, and fatality rates in our most impacted communities. https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310644294273957888
Q3. The pandemic & recession are harming many Ohioans – but not equally. Why are women & Black and brown people suffering more than others? #AllInForOHChat
#Debates2020
We know that Black and brown workers are "first fired and last hired" following recessions. AND they disproportionately compose frontline essential jobs. AND have higher rates of #COVID19 cases & deaths. #AllInForOHChat https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310644294273957888

A3 (pt. 1/2) Long-standing systemic inequities mean that women, especially woc, are on frontlines of the pandemic: As caregivers, taking on more household responsibilities (sometimes leaving workforce entirely), & as essential workers, putting their health at risk #AllinForOHChat https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310644294273957888

#Debates2020
A3. Due to a deck that is stacked against them, black communities suffer higher rates of poverty. Poverty is bad for your health, leaving this community with preexisting conditions that make them more vulnerable to the effects of COVID. #AllInForOHChat https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310644294273957888

#Debates2020
A3:Women & workers of color make up much of the low-wage workforce. Low-wage workers are under-represented in both government and in Board rooms across the country. Major policy decisions affecting low-wage workers are being made without their input. #Debates2020 #AllInForOHChat https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310644294273957888

A3 - Allowing COVID-19 to destroy Black, brown, and Indigenous communities is a choice we don’t need to keep making. When we are #allinforOhio, we commit to building a better and brighter future for all of us, no exceptions.

#Debates2020
A2. We must subdue the pandemic first and foremost with sound public health strategies, including protections for front line workers, and generous federal unemployment benefits who can’t work. #AllInForOHChat https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310643180744908801
Q2. What kind of action to tackle #COVID and the recession do Ohioans need from our federal leaders – especially the president? #AllInForOHChat
A2: Let’s not forget: we're still in a BAD AWFUL TERRIBLE recession . Overall unemployment is at its highest rate in nearly a decade and the Black unemployment rate remains in the double digits. https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310643180744908801
Q2. What kind of action to tackle #COVID and the recession do Ohioans need from our federal leaders – especially the president? #AllInForOHChat
A2. To rebuild our economy, leaders must enact policies that address the economic consequences of COVID - centering those most impacted. That means solutions like expanding #paidsickdays & #paidleave, ensuring safe #childcare & extending unemployment benefits. #AllinForOHChat 1/2 https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310643180744908801
Q2. What kind of action to tackle #COVID and the recession do Ohioans need from our federal leaders – especially the president? #AllInForOHChat
A1. The pandemic has shown how bare and inadequate our social safety net is. Without universal healthcare, paid sick time, & affordable child care, too many families were financially unable to make the safest decisions for their families & communities.
#AllInForOHChat https://twitter.com/PolicyMattersOH/status/1310641738827038720
Q1. OK, let’s get started. Like everywhere else, Ohio is in the grips of the #COVID pandemic and recession caused by necessary public health orders. How has this affected the lives of everyday Ohioans? #AllInForOHChat
