The numbers are in, John.

Last week, a record 3.3 million people filed for unemployment. The previous record for a single week was 685,000.

People across the country are losing their jobs at alarming rates, so our government must step in to protect the families and workers whose livelihoods have disappeared overnight.

Congress just passed a historic $2 trillion recovery bill that includes a one-time payment of $1,200 to each American. That just isn’t going to be enough to get us through this crisis.

We need sustained support for working families every month until this crisis ends. Sign our urgent petition to Congress now.

We know that this crisis is not going to end anytime soon, and that workers need more assurance beyond one month of expenses. That’s why we’re supporting Rep. Ilhan Omar’s RELIEF Act, which would provide monthly payments of $1,000 for every adult until this pandemic is over.

In Canada, those impacted by COVID-19 are getting $1,400 per month for the next four months. This is what’s required for families to know they will be able to afford rent, heating, and other essential bills in this uncertain time.

We must join together to demand protections for our families. Sign this urgent petition calling on Congress to pass the RELIEF Act and provide long-term support in the next recovery package.

We’re in this together – and if we use our voices, we can demand that our government protects workers and families first.

Thanks for stepping up this moment.
