John,
Last night, the House passed a $3 trillion relief bill to provide urgent aid to women and families. This bill is a major step in the right direction – but it’s already under attack from Trump and Mitch McConnell.
We have a chance to draw a line in the sand, John. In a global pandemic, we will not allow partisan politics to get in the way of relief that workers and families need. That’s why we're asking every person reading this to send a message to Mitch McConnell right now.
We tracked down an email address for Mitch’s office and set up an easy-to-use form so that every person in this movement can send him an individual message. Please take a minute to send your message demanding that he bring the HEROES bill up for a vote.
Email Mitch now »
The GOP is appalled that this bill:
- Makes it easier for people to vote-by-mail
- Provides some federal assistance for immigrants
- Gives much needed aid to the essential U.S. Postal Service
We know that Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump are more interested in bailing out corporations and their ‘Billionaire Boys Club’ cronies than supporting women, families, and workers. But we will not go down without a fight, John.
We worked too hard to get these measures included and we need to do everything we can to have the greatest chance of passing this bill in the Senate.
To be honest, this is going to be an uphill fight and we aren’t sure if we will win. But the surest way to fail is not to try. So we need to go all in against Mitch and make sure he knows that a whole lot of us are watching him (especially given that he’s up for re-election this November).
We are powerful when we act together, John. If enough of us send messages, we could make Mitch reconsider his decision on this bill – or at the very least, let him know that we’ll remember this moment come November.
Please send a message to Mitch McConnell now to let him know that women across the country will remember what he does in this moment. We demand that the Senate pass the HEROES Act as written NOW.
We can’t afford to waste time playing political games. We are experiencing the worst unemployment crisis since the Great Depression and women, especially women of color, are being hit the hardest.1
It’s going to take a nationwide, united effort to make sure the Senate listens to our demands and passes the HEROES Act without add-ons for their corporate friends.
But together we can win.
