We have entered the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in what seems like the blink of an eye.

All of us are trying to figure out how to act amidst delayed information and rapidly shifting conditions, and we are feeling anxious about the future, our loved ones, and our communities.

The most vulnerable and marginalized members of our communities are suffering the most. As Congress acts swiftly to develop relief and recovery packages to address the COVID-19 crisis, we must ensure that they prioritize the health and wellbeing of all people, with no exceptions. 

Therefore, we ask that you take action today and every day until a stimulus bill that follows the five principles for just COVID-19 relief is passed.

Please use this tool to write to your representatives demanding they commit to the 5 principles of a #PeoplesBailout. 

1. Health is the top priority, for all people, with no exceptions.

2. Provide economic relief directly to the people.

3. Rescue workers and communities, not corporate executives.

4. Make a down payment on a regenerative economy, while preventing future crises.

5. Protect our democratic process while protecting each other.

Read the full statement here.

Alliance for a Green Economy is proud to be one of over 500 groups backing these principles, which were introduced in a letter from Reps. Dingell, Ocasio-Cortez, Jayapal, Pocan, and Lee in the House and Senators Markey and Duckworth in the Senate. 

AGREE has a mailing list of over 3000 people. Can you imagine the effect if even half of us write a letter? If you have the bandwidth to get the #PeoplesBailout out on social media, here is a social toolkit with images and sample messaging.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions about AGREE or our work. We hope you, your loved ones, and your communities are safe and have the resources you need.

Sincerely,

Andra Leimanis
