Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 26, 2021
Tweet - "It is a contradiction to say we must protect minority rights in the Senate while refusing to protect minority rights in our society. There's no way under the sun that in 2021 that we are going to allow the filibuster to be used to deny voting rights."

Tweet - "I look at this legislation & I see it being targeted. One report yesterday said this program of doing more for Black farmers than anything since the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This legislation targets children who need to get back in school. That's targeting to me."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 9, 2021
Tweet - "I think it is very clear, if we can make an exception to the filibuster rules for budgets, we ought to be able to make it for any civil or voting right that exists. If the President wants to keep the filibuster, fine, but let's do away w/ it for civil rights and voting rights."
Rep. Jim Clyburn

Tweet - "Failure to achieve vaccination equity would not only compound the suffering in communities of color--failure would also delay or even derail containment of the virus across the country, which could hinder a safe return to normal life for everyone."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Feb. 19, 2021
Tweet - "This pandemic has amplified racial inequities that have long existed in this nation. We've witnessed a disproportionate rate of infection, hospitalization, & death among minorities yet they are receiving fewer vaccinations. #VaccineEquity is essential to defeating this virus."
