The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has thrust America into an unprecedented
health and economic crisis. We are demanding that the Senate use its power to
pass legislation to keep us and our pocketbooks healthy and safe.

Last Saturday, the House passed a massive emergency response package. Now it's
in the Senate. We want the Senate to know that any delay in implementing this
package would be unacceptable.

Add your name today: Demand that the Senate waste no time in passing a sweeping
relief package to deal with COVID-19.

As restaurants, gyms and movie theaters close across the nation, millions of
Americans who live paycheck to paycheck are becoming afraid. We need legislation
that offers these workers the assurity that they will not be abandoned. As
schools close and family members become sick, we need legislation that assures
workers that they will not be penalized for caring for loved ones. And as
workers become sick themselves, we need legislation that allows them the
security to stay home without the fear of mounting bills and no money coming in.

The Family First Coronavirus Response Act, passed by the House, was hammered out
with bipartisan support and approved by the President. It provides emergency
paid leave for millions of workers affected by the virus, increases funding to
state unemployment insurance programs as well as Medicaid and nutritional aid
programs, and guarantees free coronavirus testing for everyone.

Now, it's up to the Senate to get to work and quickly pass the legislative
measures necessary to deal COVID-19.

Add your name to demand the Senate do their job and pass legislation immediately
to keep Americans healthy and safe.

According to the Center for Disease Control, there are two essential ways to
contain the coronavirus outbreak - testing and social isolation. Free testing
will keep millions of Americans, many of them uninsured or underinsured, from
falling through the gap and further spreading the virus. Moreover, social
isolation measures can only be effective if workers know they won’t face
financial ruin should they miss work.

In this time of uncertainty, we look to our government to swiftly pass laws that
protect the health and well being of our nation. The ball is in the Senate’s
court.

Join us today in demanding that the Senate to pass the Family First Coronavirus
Response Act legislation without delay.
