This shutdown was avoidable. The WH created this crisis & the GOP leaders in Congress refused to negotiate with Democrats. We must pass a bipartisan solution to fund the government, guarantee health care for millions of kids & protect Dreamers. Americans expect & deserve it.

Sen. Harris, who is a Howard University graduate, took to Twitter to react to this shutdown. “Due to the shutdown, I will not be able to attend the Women’s March LA,” she wrote on Twitter.
The black college grad continued, “Instead, I will be in Washington, D.C. to fight for a for a long-term funding bill that supports our military, community health centers, CHIP, disaster relief, and protects Dreamers from deportation.” Since posting a series of tweets, Sen. Harris has earned several thousand shares and likes already.
“There’s nothing more powerful than a group of determined people marching and standing up for our nation’s values and for what we know is right,” she proclaimed. “Standing in solidarity with those attending the #WomensMarch across the country.”
Instead of working to ensure our kids have health insurance, our Dreamers are safe, our community health centers remain open, and members of the military get paid, Republicans intentionally ran out the clock. We must act and pass a bipartisan deal.

When I look at our Dreamers, I know I am looking at the dream of who we are as a country. pic.twitter.com/nXeK8r26Hd

What’s standing in the way of a bipartisan agreement is the chaotic White House and the partisanship of Republican leaders. Americans don’t want this dysfunction — they want the government to work and to pass legislation that protects the people.
