Indivisibles,

Just now, the Senate reached a tentative deal on the third coronavirus
package that will provide economic support for workers and families. 

There’s some good news: Senate Democrats stuck together and worked hard to
improve upon the pro-corporate, anti-worker bill that the Republicans
drafted. They made some important changes including providing support to
small businesses, additional money to hospitals, a one-time stimulus check
to some taxpayers, and four months of unemployment insurance to those
affected by COVID-19.

Unfortunately, the bill still leaves critical relief on the table --
including (but definitely not limited to) expanded sick leave, recurring
direct cash assistance, support for front-line workers, and expanded
Medicaid funding. Until these weaknesses are addressed, many workers and
families will struggle to put food on the table, to pay their rent or to
find a job. This deal falls well short of what we need in this moment of
crisis. 

Still, this bill is better than nothing. So rather than holding it up in
the Senate, we’re asking you to join us in calling on the House to make
significant changes to the bill before they pass it. The Senate bill is
now the floor for these negotiations. It’s time for Speaker Pelosi to show
us the ceiling. 

Here are our immediate to-do items for you (more details on the linked
pages): 

* Call your representative and demand that they make critical changes to
the Senate’s bill before voting. [ [link removed] ]Click here to read about the
changes we’re requesting, review the script, and call now.

* If you can’t call or if you can’t get through when you try, [ [link removed] ]click
here to email your representative with the same message.

* Record a video telling your representative the same things, then share
it with us and on your social networks to help expand the reach of our
message. [ [link removed] ]Click here and we’ll walk you through the steps of
recording and sharing the video.

The good news is that we can still make an impact -- this is why we worked
so hard to take back the House in 2018 -- to make sure that Democrats have
more of a say and that our government is putting people over profits. 

We’ll be in touch with more over the coming days. Keep an eye on our
[ [link removed] ]People Over Profits website for the most up-to-date news. As always,
thank you.

In solidarity,

Indivisible Team 

P.S. -- we’re as frustrated with the Senate as you are. Right now we’re
focused on this bill, but long term, we’re working hard on the Payback
Project, our plan to defeat the worst GOP Senators. [ [link removed] ]Click here to
