Wearing a mask is not a political statement. Wearing a mask is an act of kindness. Masks don’t just protect you, they protect everyone around you from COVID-19. Today I'm wearing my mask for our kids who are headed back to school soon and our hardworking health care heroes.

Let me crystal clear: No one is above the law. Superintendent Hampton and I expect the Oregon State Police to lead by example. This virus threatens us all, regardless of our job title. Oregonians are wearing face coverings to protect ourselves, our families and our community.

To each and every postal worker out there: thank you. Through it all in 2020, @USPS workers have delivered packages with essential items, census forms, prescriptions, ballots, & stimulus checks. This year and every year, we must support the USPS. #SaveThePostOffice

Let me be very, very clear: You cannot ban abortion. You can only ban safe abortion. Access to abortion is protected by state law in Oregon, and I will fight to keep it that way — no matter what the U.S. Supreme Court decides. Don’t lose hope. Let’s fight like hell.

Just as California sent firefighters to Oregon's Almeda fire when we needed the help, we are now, thankfully, in a position to return the favor. 100+ Oregon firefighters are headed to the Glass Fire in Sonoma. We will keep them and all of the heroic firefighters in our thoughts.

The last thing we need to do during this crisis is turn out more Oregonians struggling to make ends meet from their homes and onto the streets. I've placed a temporary moratorium on residential evictions — this is both a moral and a public health imperative.

Welcome to voting by mail, Californians! Trailblazing Oregonians have been accessing our right to vote from home for decades – it's safe, secure, and cost-effective. Other states: join us in helping your citizens make their voices heard.

We are locked in a race between vaccine distribution and the spread of variants. Starting April 19, every Oregonian over the age of 16 will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

When the foundation of our society is being rocked, we must ensure the foundation of our democracy remains strong. No one should have to choose between risking their health and having their voice heard. States should follow Oregon’s lead: vote by mail.

The state was the first to hold a major election with in-person voting since stay-at-home orders were widely instituted because of the coronavirus.

There's no question: cabin fever is setting in and the weather is beautiful. But now is the time to stay home. Let's keep building on the great work we've all been doing with social distancing — it will give our hospitals the best chance to meet any future needs. We got this.

I may #outandproud now but it was a long road to get here. Coming out should be YOUR CHOICE and happen on YOUR TERMS. For anyone who’s thinking about coming out today, please know I am with you. #NationalComingOutDay

Today, I am issuing a new statewide order: stay home to the maximum extent possible. Failure to comply with the order will be considered an immediate danger to public health.

Thank you to all of Oregon's firefighters, who have saved countless lives, homes, and businesses in unprecedented fire conditions (the amazing Grizzly Firefighters from The Dalles somehow still had a song in their hearts). We can never thank you enough.

Vaccines work. Masks work. These are the facts. Let's all do our part, Oregon.

Good news — we are ahead of schedule. By early April, we expect to have provided first dose vaccines for three-quarters of all eligible Oregonians, including seniors. That means we'll be ready to move on to Phase 1B one month earlier than initially planned.

We are thrilled that over 2.4 million Oregonians have gotten vaccinated. We met our goal of reaching 70% of Oregonians with a safe and effective vaccine, and thanks to you all, our communities are safer. Now, our work continues to reach the next 10% with a vaccine, and onward.
