Breaking news, John: The U.S. Senate just passed a $2 trillion financial stimulus package. Now, it moves to the House for a vote and then to President Trump’s desk for signature so it can be rapidly implemented to provide relief to workers, small businesses, and people across the country.

You’re probably wondering: what’s in it?

Here’s what the largest stimulus bill in American history includes:

*
A
one-time
payment
of
$1,200
to
many
people
making
less
than
$75,000
a
year;
*
A
$500
billion
loan
program
for
businesses.
Unlike
the
previous
stimulus
bill
being
pushed
by
Republicans,
this
one
ensures
every
loan
will
be
made
public,
and
businesses
controlled
by
Trump,
his
administration,
Congress
members,
and
their
families
can’t
receive
loans;
*
$400
million
in
election
assistance
for
the
states,
including
increased
ability
to
vote
by
mail;
*
$425
million
to
increase
access
to
mental
health
services;
*
An
increase
in
unemployment
insurance
of
up
to
$600/week
for
4
months,
which
is
in
addition
to
what
states
already
pay
as
base
unemployment
salary.

Unfortunately, undocumented and mixed status families were left out of this deal, so we need to continue putting pressure on our leaders to look after these families during this public health crisis.

This bill may not be perfect, but it’s a HUGE improvement compared to what Republicans were trying to pass just days ago: a slush fund for corporations and the wealthiest few with little to no relief for working people. And we achieved it because of the public pressure folks like you put on our leaders and because Democrats held their ground.

We likely would not have seen such a bill pass had we not elected a wave of diverse Democrats in the 2018 election, and it proves why it’s all the more important we continue to work to elect more leaders who will fight for us – especially in challenging times like these – come November.
