Dear John:
Right now, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House are negotiating the largest economic rescue package in U.S. history in response to the COVID19 pandemic. We need you to contact them now and demand a real rescue for the people, not corporations and CEOs.
Republicans under Mitch McConnell want to turn the coronavirus rescue bill into a slush fund that Trump can use for corporate handouts, and we have to stop them.
Instead of corporate giveaways, we demand:
-
Paid sick and family leave for households hit by the virus, regardless of employer size, immigrant status and including independent contractors;
-
Emergency cash assistance on an ongoing basis, starting with $2,000 immediately to every adult, monthly for the length of the crisis;
-
A Homes Guarantee including zero rent and a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures;
-
A ban on essential utility shut-offs like heat, water, and electricity; and
-
Student debt forgiveness to save people from financial ruin, as well as refunding students on room and board, tuition, and health care for this semester.
We only have a few days to make an impact on this legislation. Contact your elected officials now.
Sincerely,
Derrick Crowe
