PFAW Member,
If Senate Republicans don’t pass the HEROES Act, then our right to safely and securely vote in 2020 may be in jeopardy.
Without the $3.6 billion in funding allocated in the HEROES Act to safeguard our elections, millions of voters may be unable to vote safely this November. And that is simply unacceptable.
The $3.6 billion in funding allocated specifically for improving our elections systems nationwide would help expand online voter registration and early voting, improve in-person safety measures, and greatly expand voting by mail. All of these measures have already been proven this year to help people vote safely during the pandemic in both Colorado and Michigan.
If the rest of the country is going to implement these vital improvements in time for the November general election, Congress needs to act now.
Senate Republicans have been wavering on whether they will even consider the HEROES Act when they return from recess, having described the bill as “dead on arrival” when it was passed by the House. Since then, however, fractures have begun forming in the Republican front as they are faced with mounting pressure from constituents who continue to suffer from the pandemic and need urgent relief.
We must continue pressuring Senate Republicans to provide COVID-19 relief for their constituents and make sure we are able to hold a safe and accessible election in 2020!
To delay passage of the HEROES Act any longer could have disastrous consequences for our democracy.
In unity,
- Sarah, Digital Campaign Associate
