Our nation is in a crisis — COVID-19 is putting lives and livelihoods at
risk. From the start, I've said Congress must put people before
corporations.

Last Friday, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES
Act) was passed by Congress and signed into law.

Here in Massachusetts — and across the country — communities are
struggling. Doctors, nurses, mayors are pleading — we need help fast.
That’s why my team and I stayed at the table fighting to make the CARES
Act stronger, and have been working with every level of government to
support our community in this time of crisis.

The bill that passed last week will provide some desperately needed aid to
our community health centers and hospitals, and our workers and families
during this public health emergency.

But let me be clear, with a two trillion dollar bill, Congress had the
chance to fundamentally address the deep inequities in our healthcare and
economic system.

We had a chance to make testing and treatment free and accessible for
EVERYONE.

We had a chance to ban evictions nationwide and guarantee that people will
stay in their homes.

We had a chance to strengthen protections for our immigrant communities.

We had a chance to make unemployment and paid leave truly universal.

We had a chance to cancel student debt.

This bill didn't do that.

We must go further to ensure that every single person in our country has
stability in the coming months and in the long term.

care and economic justice?

Our work is far from over. I'll never stop fighting for those left out and
left behind. I see you. I hear you. Your family deserves healthcare and
economic justice.

Thank you for making your voice heard,
