[ [link removed] ]5 Actions
Dear Friend,
July 4th weekend is here, the official start of a summer unlike any other
for many, and just four months away from the November election. JUST.
FOUR. FAST. MONTHS. The clock is ticking and your voice, your action, your
attention is needed more than ever.
So for the #5Actions this week, we urge you to put your mark on a map to
be a Beacon of Hope for others and show that you’re planning to help get
out the vote for the November elections (Don’t worry! We’ll share lots of
ways you can help get out the vote in the coming weeks). We also have
additional critically important actions this week for you to take,
including: Demand Justice for Elijah McClain; Support Testing, Masks, and
Health Care; and Moving Forward Unemployment Insurance. Lastly, what are
your COVID-19 back-to-school concerns? We want to hear so we can help
advocate for policy solutions!
Thank you for the tremendous work you’re doing in this transformational
moment in history!

BACKGROUND: In the middle of a pandemic—when millions are losing their
health insurance and hundreds of thousands are experiencing a terrible
health care crisis—President Trump has: cut funding for COVID-19 testing;
refused to encourage people to wear masks to stop the spread of
coronavirus despite scientific research showing mask wearing is essential
to slowing the pandemic; and filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to
strip health care coverage away from tens of millions of Americans, which
will make the pandemic far worse.
[ [link removed] ]**ACTION: Tell President Trump and Vice President Pence: This
mismanagement of our COVID-19 crisis must stop. Take immediate action to
protect our health!

3. SIGN NOW! The Senate needs to protect unemployed workers!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: Unless the U.S. Senate takes action soon millions of
unemployed workers will lose the $600 per week boost in unemployment
insurance benefits on July 31st. With an unemployment rate still sitting
at around 13.3% and 59% of CEOs saying they are implementing hiring
freezes, now is NOT the time for Congress to short change struggling
Americans and undercut our economy.
< br/>We need the U.S. Senate to follow the House’s lead and take
immediate action to extend unemployment insurance benefits for millions
of workers!
[ [link removed] ]**SIGN OUR LETTER NOW to your U.S. Senators urging them to extend the
$600 per week for unemployed workers and stand up for our families and
our economy!

4. Demand Justice for Elijah McClain
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: Elijah McClain -- a young Black man who loved animals, a
violinist, a highly regarded massage therapist, and a person beloved by
his community -- was simply walking home from the store after buying iced
tea when police officers in Aurora, Colorado detained and murdered him
nearly a year ago. The officers who murdered Elijah have yet to be fired
or charged. No mother should have to go through what Elijah’s mom is
going through. No one should lose their life to the police.
[ [link removed] ]**ACTION: Demand that Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser hold the
officers who murdered Elijah accountable, starting with their immediate
arrest and criminal charges filed against them.

Your Action Status: NOT YET SUBMITTED ->
[ [link removed] ]Make Your Mark
BACKGROUND: States around the country have started to roll out their
plans for getting kids back to school and child care. These plans look
different in every state and we know it has created some questions and
anxiety for you. Personal experiences are powerful and can make a HUGE
difference in helping elected leaders understand what real families are
going through during this pandemic. That is why we are hoping you can
share your thoughts with us!
[ [link removed] ]**ACTION: Tell us about your concerns and thoughts around COVID-19
back-to-school plans.
