We need bold action, immediately.
Friends,
Last week, I introduced the Monthly Economic Crisis Support Act to provide $2,000 every month to Americans throughout this crisis.
Bills come in every single month during the pandemic and so should help from our government.
I've been saying it for months: a one-time payment is not enough when millions of people are unemployed and need to eat. We need bold action, immediately.
Which is why Senator Sanders, Senator Markey, and I have come together to try and provide relief to millions of Americans who are struggling to make ends meet during this crisis.
There’s no doubt this bill will face opposition in Mitch McConnell’s Senate, he doesn’t want to spend another dime on relief for working Americans.
That’s why today, I’m asking if you will add your name and join me in calling on Mitch McConnell to act. This bill is waiting to be debated and voted on and the American people need this relief now.
The CARES Act gave Americans an important one-time payment, but it’s clear that wasn’t nearly enough to meet the needs of this historic crisis.
People need help throughout this crisis. It's just that simple. Which is why my new bill will provide $2,000 a month for the duration of the pandemic and for 3 months after to ensure folks can get back on their feet.
In addition, debt collectors would be forbidden from seizing the payments. These payments are meant to help get people back on their feet, they’re not meant to pad the pockets of debt collectors.
The Senate has a responsibility to act and provide relief for the millions of Americans who need it.
I hope you will take a moment to join me today and sign on. You can use the link below to add your name and make your voice heard:
