Don't let Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell abandon U.S. workers!
Right now, the Senate is heatedly debating the government's emergency COVID-19 response and an economic stimulus package. Sadly, Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell are more interested in creating a slush fund for big corporations than ensuring sick workers can stay home when necessary without jeopardizing their families' economic security. Please call, tweet or email right now and urge your senators to stand with U.S. workers instead of giving billions to billionaires.

John:
The National Partnership has been working around the clock advocating for millions of people who don't have paid sick days or paid leave during this COVID-19 pandemic.
We're advising our allies on Capitol Hill, drafting legislation, generating public support, and shaping the national debate in the media.
And we need your help. Senate Republicans care more about bailing out big corporations than helping those who work for them.
In the current COVID-19 economic stimulus package, millions of workers are left hanging out to dry, including:
41.9 million people without paid family leave who work for large private sector employers;
6.5 million people without paid sick days who work for large private sector employers;
Nearly 34 million people who work for small employers and are at risk of losing protections because the U.S. Dept. of Labor may issue exemptions;
Nearly 20 million people who experience intimate partner violence each year, many of whom now face heightened risk due to stay-home orders; and
At least a quarter million family caregivers for older adults and people with disabilities whose usual place of care is closed.
This is simply unacceptable, and we can't let them get away with it.
Here's how you can help: Call, tweet or email your senators and urge them not to abandon U.S. workers during the COVID-19 pandemic!
We don't have a moment to lose. Please take action right now.
Thanks for all that you do.
Debra Ness
President
