demand that essential workers receive a $600 weekly federal stimulus
benefit during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

My name is Dana, and I am one of the many essential workers still actively
employed.

As essential workers, we are doing the important work of supporting this
country—but we are not being cared for by our politicians and lawmakers.

Just like those who have been laid off or furloughed, essential workers
should receive a $600 weekly federal stimulus benefit for working during
the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the pandemic, essential workers have had to make huge adjustments
to our normal work routines. We are working longer hours while wearing
masks to protect ourselves and everyone we come in contact with, and our
daily job functions have increased because we are short-staffed. We are
also homeschooling our children, and some of us have even had to be
separated from our families.

Essential workers are keeping the U.S. economy in motion, and we should be
cared for by our government.

Politicians are praising us and telling the public that what we do is so
important that this country would fall apart without us. But while we're
being called heroes, we are not being compensated for keeping America
running.

It's past time for Congress to ensure that essential workers receive a
$600 weekly federal stimulus benefit.

We are instructors and educators; grocery store clerks; janitors; factory,
postal, farm, insurance, food, veterinary, and domestic workers;
commercial and public transportation drivers; licensed, skilled, and
unskilled medical professionals; emergency response teams; state and
federal employees; and many more. We put our lives, as well as the lives
of our families, at risk by continuing to go to work every day. 

Essential workers need to know that politicians and lawmakers are in our
corner, and that's why I will not give up this fight demanding Congress
pass legislation for essential workers to receive a $600 weekly federal
stimulus benefit.
