Dear PFAW Member,
Mitch McConnell is planning to adjourn the Senate for recess this Friday without taking up the desperately needed COVID relief – including $3.6 billion in necessary election security funding – in the HEROES Act!
Don’t let Mitch McConnell and his Republican majority get away with this outrage! Americans are losing their lives and livelihoods and the ability of millions of voters to exercise their right to cast a ballot is on the line!
Please add your name now to helps reach 20K signatures today demanding that the Senate take up take up the bill! (We’re more than halfway there!)
Sign the petition to tell the Senate: Pass the HEROES Act!>>

Dear PFAW Member,
It's been over a month since the House of Representatives passed the HEROES Act coronavirus support package. In the last month, American families, small business owners, local communities, and state leaders have been waiting for Congress to lead in this moment of crisis. It's past time for the Senate to act.
The HEROES Act contains $3.6 billion in drastically needed funding for election security and ensuring ballot access for voters in these unprecedented times, as well as vital relief for state and local governments, that have been hit very hard by the pandemic, and job protections for hundreds of thousands of workers. But Mitch McConnell continues to block the bill!
Add your name to urge the Senate to pass the HEROES Act now! >>
Over the past few months, this once-in-a-lifetime public health and economic crisis has pulled back the curtain to expose and compound the deep systemic inequities Americans experience. The pandemic is not going anywhere without a vaccine that could be years in the making. We need relief and we need solutions from Congress now.
The HEROES Act provides funding, not only to keep families afloat in this economic and public health crisis, but also in support of localities and states which are carrying much of the responsibility for supporting our communities through this time. Especially in advance of the 2020 election, we need to ensure that our communities have the resources they need to advance free and fair elections.
Thank you for your advocacy. Wishing you and your family health and safety!
In community,
Charlie, PFAW
