Hi ,

In the weeks following the initial lockdowns due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, it’s been a constant thought on the minds of people across the country: 

“What am I going to do?”  

We cannot allow this pandemic and the economic repercussions that come with it to be downplayed. 

A one-time payout of $1200 is not enough. 

In fact, if you are like most Americans, you watched that $1200 disappear even faster than it was deposited into your bank account. Even then, that is assuming that you even received your stimulus check. 

We cannot downplay this emergency.

We are experiencing a coronavirus depression that is quickly becoming deeper and more dire than the Great Depression. As people look to our government for answers and aid, they are met with two things:

1. Radio silence from people like Joe Biden who refuse to step up and be leaders in this time of crisis. 
2. Daily bad advice from an orange buffoon who believes that he knows more than the world’s top experts.

Meanwhile, the bills do not slow down while unemployment and small business failures soar. Furthermore, healthcare workers still lack the necessary PPE to safely perform their jobs as sickness and death due to the coronavirus continue to spread. 

The answer, contrary to the claims of Donald Trump, is not injecting disinfectant or somehow shining ultraviolet radiation under our skin. 

The answer lies in a new, fifth wave of support for Americans. These issues have already been brought up by some members of Congress, but they will not pass if we do not speak up. 

We are fighting for:

• Medicare to Pay for COVID-19 Testing and Treatment and All Emergency Health Care
• Defense Production Act to Rapidly Plan the Production and Distribution of Medical Supplies and a Universal Test, Contact Trace, and Quarantine Program to Safely Reopen the Economy
• An OSHA Temporary Standard to Provide Enforceable PPE Protection for Workers
• $2,000 a Month to All Over Age 16 and $500 per Child
• Loans to All Businesses and Hospitals for Payroll and Fixed Overhead To Be Forgiven If All Workers Are Kept on Payroll
• Moratorium on Evictions, Foreclosures, and Utility Shutoffs
• Cancel Rent, Mortgage, and Utility Payments; Federal Government Pays Those Bills; High-income People Pay Taxes on this Relief
• Suspend Student Loan Payments with 0% Interest Accumulation
• Federal Universal Rent Control
• Aid to State and Local Governments Sufficient to Keep Essential Services Running
• Universal Mail-in Ballots for the 2020 General Election

Look… 

Now isn’t the time for I-Told-You-So’s, but this pandemic is a vital wake-up call to action for things that we should have already been doing to protect our people and our climate well before the coronavirus hit. 

This is why we absolutely need an Ecosocialist Green New Deal as soon as possible. 

We cannot settle for the watered-down pseudo-results that we are currently being fed. Lives are on the line. 

We need an Economic Bill of Rights that guarantees income above poverty level, jobs, housing, Medicare for All, tuition-free education, and secure retirement. 

With Ecosocialism, our country would be a world leader in ensuring the health and wellbeing of both our environment and our people. 

This is exactly why we are counting on your support as we continue our 2020 campaign. 

This is a campaign about issues that matter most to the 99%. We are rallying progressives from all across this country to create an unstoppable movement that is THE party of the left. 

We can do better than the choices of Donald “Childish Dummy” Trump and Joe “Asleep at the Wheel” Biden.

Together we will make the Green Party into an unstoppable force for good. 

Let’s paint the polls Green!
