At this moment of national emergency, we must ensure that
Congress enacts measures that help people most in need -- and do
it now. That's why we must mount a full-scale effort to end the
shortage of critical medical supplies, including masks to protect
health care workers, re-agents so we can produce more tests, and
ventilators to help the rising number of sick patients.
The Administration has moved far too slowly. We need to fire on
all cylinders immediately to end these shortages.
Sign on if you agree we need a huge, whole-of-nation effort to
address the threats to our healthcare system and expand hospital
capacity now.

We must also address the escalating economic fallout from the
crisis. Thousands of people have already lost jobs, but the
Republican plan does far too little for workers and small
businesses, and too much for big corporations --without requiring
adequate accountability measures. We cannot allow big
corporations to use taxpayer funds for stock buybacks, executive
bonuses, or other perks.
I have introduced measures to put workers, families, and
students first. We must provide robust, extended unemployment
insurance for workers losing their jobs, including the
self-employed and those laboring in the gig economy. I have also
put forward a rescue plan for hard-hit small and medium-sized
businesses, and non-profit organizations, who -- without emergency
help -- are going under. And I have called upon federal financial
regulators to do everything in their power to stop foreclosures
and evictions during this national emergency.
Sign if you support an economic response that puts American
workers, families, and small businesses first.

Together we must demand a strong, commonsense response that
targets the needs of those who are suffering most from this
crisis. I discussed these priorities earlier today on the Senate
floor.
We must act quickly and wisely!
