Dear John,

As you read this, the Senate is negotiating a $1 Trillion coronavirus aid bill
that would do more for corporations than everyday people.

Millions of people are losing their jobs. Thousands of small businesses are
shutting their doors. Our health care system will soon be over-capacity. Food
security is a real issue for families across the country. We need our leaders to
direct aid to those in need.

But instead, they’re allowing this aid package to become another wish list for
corporate interests and polluters. This bill is still under negotiation, so this
is our best chance to ensure working people and families receive the protections
they need. But we must act fast!

people over corporations!

Now more than ever, we need our national leaders to restore public trust with a
comprehensive financial security plan. But instead Mitch McConnell and the GOP
Senate are too focused on protecting corporations.

McConnell’s $1 trillion aid package has billions in interest-free loans for
airlines, the cruise ship sector and other polluting industries. Meanwhile, it
has far too little help for workers and families.

We need a coronavirus aid package that protects everyday people. It must include
things like expansions to paid leave and unemployment insurance, a better deal
for student debt forgiveness, increases for Medicaid, and the expansion and
preservation of SNAP (food stamp) benefits.

This is a crisis and our legislators need to put profiteering aside to protect
people. A groundswell of public pressure from engaged activists like you will
help ensure your Senators do the right thing!

Send a quick message to Congress: Demand your Senators put people over Big
Polluters!

This is a dire situation, John. The coronavirus has
shaken our communities. And it’s unacceptable that Senate Republicans are more
interested in helping business interests rather than the public interest.

The only way out of this crisis is for everyone to come together and put the
community over corporations. Our leaders must lead this charge.

Together we can send a loud, clear message to Congress: Put people over
corporate profits!

Fight for our communities together: Demand Congress put people over corporate
profits!
