Often, the work you’re most excited get upstaged chaos and noise in Washington, so wanted to highlight some of our big efforts this week (Thread).
Yesterday, @chuckschumer, @ewarren, @ayannapressley, @mondairejones, @AlmaforCongress and I called on President Biden to cancel $50k in student debt per student. https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/video/5268963-rep-omar-pushes-for-student-debt-forgiveness/
The administration has now said they support cancellation and are looking at executive action!
This past weekend, I visited with tribal leaders in MN working to stop the Line 3 pipeline and then sent a letter to Joe Biden calling on him to #StopLine3.
Line 3 would pump some of the dirtiest fossil fuels in the world, polluting our state and violating tribal treaty rights.

We need $2,000 recurring checks until the end of the pandemic.
I joined @TimRyan, @MichaelDTubbs, Stephanie Bonin, and Natalie Foster to push for $2,000 recurring payments for Americans until the economy is fully recovered. https://twitter.com/theappeal/status/1357376065597890560

I joined a picket and helped pass out food with @Teamsters120 in Minnesota, who are striking for fair pay and worker safety.
Every worker deserves a union to represent them and fight for their wages, healthcare, and retirement.

President Biden lifted the refugee cap by over 120,000—something we’ve been pushing for.
As a refugee myself, I hope people around the world facing unspeakable violence will be able to call the United States their home. https://sahanjournal.com/immigration/biden-us-refugee-admissions
