Hey team, I'm incredibly frustrated by the partisan politics holding up coronavirus relief efforts.
FIRST: The House passed the Heroes Act to continue to provide states and cities, families, small businesses, and hospitals with the relief they need to survive the COVID-19 crisis.
THEN: Mitch McConnell refused to bring it to the Senate for a vote, calling the bill a "totally unserious effort" and a "seasonal catalog of left-wing oddities."
NOW: Republicans say that before we give a dime of much-needed relief to communities in peril because of COVID-19, Congress must first give broad immunity to giant corporations who put employees in harm's way by failing to take public health precautions to keep them safe.
They’re holding relief efforts hostage to help their billionaire friends, and I know this grassroots team won’t stand for it.
Rush a contribution and ensure we can hold them accountable for taking advantage of a global pandemic using this unique link:
