Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s Paycheck Recovery Act gives employers grants to bring workers off unemployment and back onto their health insurance. Similar programs stopped mass unemployment in Denmark, Australia, and Germany.
But conservative Democrat Rep. Josh Gottheimer still won’t support it. Instead, he wants to bail out private equity firms and payday lenders.
Arati Kreibich is running to defeat Gottheimer and pass COVID-19 relief that helps the people.
102 Democrats in the House are now co-sponsoring Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s Paycheck Recovery Act, including 4 other New Jersey Democrats.
Rep. Jerry Nadler says, “I'm proud to support Rep. Jayapal's Paycheck Recovery Act, which covers workers' wages and employer-tied benefits like health insurance while laying a path forward for businesses to re-open by funding certain operating expenses.”
And Rep. Barbara Lee says, "We're in the middle of an unprecedented global crisis – families shouldn't have to worry about keeping the lights on or food on the table."
Why won’t Rep. Josh Gottheimer join them? Take action today to demand an end to mass unemployment.
Thanks for standing up.
