Team,
We hope you saw our last email about being on the brink of another government shutdown. If the GOP doesn’t pull their heads out of the sand, millions of families will be left without relief during the worst economic crisis since the great depression.

Subject: 12 million Americans will face devastation.
Team,
We hate to be blunt, but millions of Americans are staring down the barrel of a health and economic catastrophe. That’s no exaggeration.
If Mitch McConnell and the GOP fail to join Democrats and pass a government spending bill (especially one that includes COVID relief) the government WILL shut down. That means:
- 12 million Americans will lose unemployment benefits.
- Emergency paid leave will end.
- The moratorium on evictions will expire.
- Federally-funded COVID testing sites could close.
- Vaccine distribution efforts will come to a standstill.
What’s the GOP doing to help Democrats pass a bill? ZERO. They’re too busy enriching big corporations and entertaining Trump’s rigged election claims to do anything else.
The time to act is now. We must fight as if our lives depend on it.
Let’s do this.
