Dear ,
As early as today, the Senate may vote on a half trillion dollar bill1 that leaves our families behind. Millions of us have become unemployed and will not be able to pay rent or put food on the table for our families. Millions of us are risking our lives as essential workers driving buses and trains, stocking shelves in grocery stores, cooking and delivering cooked meals, taking care of children and elders, farming and transporting food, and so much more. Our work is called essential, but our families are standing on food lines that stretch for miles.
Instead of bringing us the full relief we need, Congressional leadership is proposing a small amount of funding for small business and hospitals, and a little bit of funding for COVID-19 testing.
