Dear PFAW Member,
While Senate Republicans were busy ramming through right-wing extremist judges for the last few weeks, the House of Representatives went back to Washington to advance common-sense solutions for the current economic and public health crisis. The House of Representatives passed the HEROES Act which would provide much needed financial support to bolster our economy, state governments, the postal service, essential workers, and communities in desperate need of assistance.
The HEROES Act includes core provisions like aid to our states with funds to pay vital front-line workers; funding for coronavirus medical treatment and testing; direct support for struggling families; a boost to SNAP nutrition assistance; increases to housing support; extensions of jobless benefits and paid leave; and funding for the infrastructure needed so people can vote by mail this November.
2.4 million people have applied for unemployment this week alone. Regular people are bearing the brunt of this crisis. Creating solutions that support our communities-- not corporations-- during this time is crucial.
We should be able to count on our government to govern and support our struggling economy and and creating access to the essential health care people need in this time.
Thank you for your advocacy. Wishing you and your family health and safety!
In community,
Charlie, PFAW
