Earlier today, Ayanna joined more than 50 of her colleagues in sending a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urging them to prioritize monthly recurring payments for the American people during the COVID-19 crisis.
Nearly 17 million people have filed for unemployment in the last three weeks. Across the country, people in low-income communities, immigrants, and gig and service workers — many of whom are on the front lines during this crisis — are already at greater risk of being uninsured or underinsured, and lack the resources to prepare and protect themselves against the COVID-19 pandemic.
These families need — and deserve— more than a one-time, $1,200 payment.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 40% of Americans reported not having the resources to pay for an unexpected $400 expense. In the midst of this crisis, no one should be forced to choose between remaining in their home, putting food on the table, or paying for critical medical care. We need to put forth solutions as big as the problems we are collectively facing.
We are in an unprecedented crisis and need unprecedented sense solutions. Sending monthly payments is the best way to get money directly to those most at-risk in this crisis.
Thank you for making your voice heard,
The A-Team
