[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress to pass additional coronavirus legislation now! Sign today.

PFAW Member,

Congress has taken an important first step by passing the Families First
Coronavirus Response Act.

Members of Congress who pushed hard for swift passage of the bill deserve
our gratitude, as do the nearly 50,000 PFAW members who took action to
urge Congress to quickly pass the bill. In part because of your activism,
millions of Americans will be provided paid family and sick leave,
unemployment insurance will be expanded, and free COVID-19 testing will be
provided nationwide (although we still need to play catch up on making
more tests available – and fast).

Now, Congress must tackle the next phase of dealing with this
unprecedented crisis and pass a historic stimulus bill to protect the
economy and provide vital resources to the people and communities who need
the most help.

[ [link removed] ]SIGN TODAY: Thank members of Congress for passing the Families First
Act and urge them to move quickly on passing comprehensive coronavirus
relief legislation to protect Americans’ health and financial security! >>

The economic effects of this public health emergency are already being
felt, but a proper government response, with the scope that this crisis
demands, can help mitigate the damage and improve the outcome for all. Any
industry relief package must include conditions to ensure that workers are
taken care of, not C-suite executives and shareholders. Direct relief
payments must be targeted to the workers, consumers, low-income people,
and others who are most vulnerable and whose spending will spur the
economy much better than massive “trickle-down” benefits for corporations
and the ultra-wealthy.

And critical relief services will need to be adequately funded if America
is going to come out on the other side of the coronavirus pandemic
unscathed.

[ [link removed] ]Congress must act immediately to pass a comprehensive coronavirus
relief legislation package – lives and futures depend on it. >>

As usual, however, some Senate Republicans are throwing up roadblocks to
common-sense emergency legislation at every chance they get. Senator Rand
Paul (R-KY) almost halted the passage of the Families First Response Act
by forcing a last-minute vote on an unnecessary amendment. Their delay
tactics are, in the words of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY),
“a colossal waste of time.”

Time is at a premium for halting the economic fallout of the coronavirus
pandemic, so we can’t let the Republicans waste any more of it.

[ [link removed] ]ADD YOUR NAME TODAY to demand Congress pass the next stage of
coronavirus relief legislation! >>

Stay safe and healthy,

- Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
