PFAW Member -- This can't wait!

The House passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act on Friday
with bipartisan support. The Senate must act without delay and take this
critical first step to protect the public ... but the clock is ticking!

We're just 10,017 away from 50,000 signatures -- will you help us get
there right away to make sure the Senate PASSES THE BILL (with no harmful
changes)??

PFAW Member,

You would think that addressing a global pandemic and its alarming spread
within the U.S. would be a bipartisan issue. We need act swiftly to ensure
that Americans have the relief they needed to get through this crisis.

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act is a vital first step in that
direction. But Senate Leader Mitch McConnell is threatening to block this
urgently needed bill, outrageously calling its common-sense efforts to
protect public health and ensure access to medical care and other critical
supports an “ideological wish list.”

playing politics – DEMAND that the Senate passes the Families First
Coronavirus Response Act >>

We’re already way behind in combating the coronavirus pandemic and need
real investment in protecting our communities without delay. Donald Trump
keeps lying and saying that everyone who wants a test can get one. Maybe
that’s because his political allies who thought they were exposed at a
right-wing conference received testing right way, despite not having any
symptoms, but we know that for the rest of us, tests are scarce and hard
to come by … and for the uninsured and people who can’t afford additional
medical costs and missed work, there are even more concerns during this
crisis.

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act offers some important initial
steps that would offer immediate relief to countless families across the
country, including: FREE coronavirus testing for everyone who needs a test
(including those without insurance), paid emergency leave, enhanced
unemployment insurance, strengthened food security initiatives (to ensure
that everyone has the food they need), and increased federal funds for
Medicaid (to help states pay for increased costs due to the outbreak).

This is hardly an ideological wish list and it’s OUTRAGEOUS for Mitch
McConnell to claim that it is one.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name now – we need to put as much pressure on Senate
Republicans to PASS this vital piece of legislation! >>

Thanks for all that you do,

-- Zach, PFAW
