With small businesses and local governments running out of money, and more than 38 million Americans having filed for unemployment benefits in the last ten weeks, it is clear that Congress must pass further COVID-19 relief legislation.

That’s why the Democratic House passed the Heroes Act this month to provide much-needed support to everyday Americans, small businesses, and local governments. Now, Senate Republicans won’t come to the negotiating table to even consider this bill.

This isn’t right, William, and I need your help to pressure the Republican Senate into taking action. Sign my petition now to demand that Senate Republicans work with Democrats to pass another stimulus package.

SIGN ON

The Heroes Act would provide $200 billion to ensure that frontline workers across the country receive hazard pay, including nurses, teachers, first responders, custodians, sanitation workers, delivery and postal workers, firefighters, police officers, and more. It would expand unemployment benefit coverage and commit $75 billion toward doing what the science recommends: testing, tracing, and treatment.

This bill includes another round of stimulus checks for individuals and families, and strengthens the Payroll Protection Program to ensure it reaches underserved communities. The Heroes Act would also ensure that all voters are able to vote by mail in this November’s election, and would provide $25 billion to help rescue the U.S. Postal Service.

My House colleagues and I recognize that the American people need urgent relief, William. That’s why we passed this new stimulus bill, and now we need the Senate to follow suit.

Sign your name now to demand that the Republican Senate put the Heroes Act up for a vote. We must show the GOP that the American people will not take no for an answer.

SIGN ON

Thank you for taking action,

Lois
