While the latest Coronavirus relief package isn't perfect, it's much better because my Democratic colleagues and I are standing up and demanding a better deal for workers.
Thanks to our pressure, Republicans backed down on key issues.
Sign here to urge Republicans to stop playing political games with future relief packages, and read below to see what we won!
-
Every American who makes under $99,000 will receive a direct payment to offset some of the burden the Coronavirus has caused. Full payments will be received by those making under $75,000.
-
We provided emergency funding for hospitals that are under great strain from the disease.
-
We’re making $350 billion available to small businesses for loans to stay in business and prevent layoffs.
-
Small businesses will get loans to retain employees and keep them receiving health benefits so that they can be rehired when the crisis is over.
-
We expanded paid sick leave so employees don't fall through the cracks.
-
We secured accountability and oversight measures for the $500 billion large business fund, and we held firm on provisions to forbid stock buybacks and obscene executive compensation.
Add your name here to join me in calling on Republicans to stop wasting time in future relief packages and put the American people before their political games.
Thank you for being an active citizen.
