Free Speech For People
John,
As Americans continue to struggle in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, where is our federal government? Donald Trump's reckless response to this public health crisis has made the United States the world leader - by a very large margin - in COVID-19 cases and deaths. More than 90,000 Americans have now died from this virus. We are facing our highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression [ [link removed] ], and one-time $1200 payments have proven clearly insufficient (if they've arrived at all). Trump has based his response to states' requests for PPE on whether their governors are "appreciative [ [link removed] ]" of his efforts. Major corporations have gained access to bailouts [ [link removed] ] and small business loans [ [link removed] ], and people across the country are facing the risk of having to choose between their health and their right to vote.
Women and their families – who are especially vulnerable to the devastating health and economic impacts of this pandemic – are particularly impacted by this crisis. They are being left behind, left out, and in some cases, actively attacked. *As the Senate prepares to consider the **HEROES Act* [ [link removed] ]*, an additional stimulus package, we need to prioritize real relief.*
*Tell the Senate: We Demand More* [ [link removed] ]
We need Congress to:
* Prioritize our health and safety ahead of corporations;
* Get life-sustaining relief to us now;
* Strengthen state governments responding directly to the COVID crisis;
* Stop the attacks on our reproductive care, including abortion access; and
* Protect our safety and our right to vote in 2020.
For any federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic to be effective, it must put the needs of its most vulnerable citizens first. It must ensure safety and security for the many, not the few.
*Sign if you agree: Our lives, livelihoods, and families depend on and deserve more from the federal government – and we must demand more.* [ [link removed] ]
In solidarity,
