As the numbers of infections and deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic continue to grow, the most vulnerable people in the United States and around the world are bearing the brunt of our economic and health crisis. Congress must act boldly to help those most impacted by the pandemic.
With the support of people like you, the House of Representatives already passed a relief bill in May that included some essential pieces to help people who have been suffering because of this crisis. It is now the Senate's turn; vulnerable people cannot wait any longer.
Write your Senators NOW: Pass Immediate Relief for the Most Vulnerable.
The impacts of the pandemic have reached every corner of the world. There is a growing hunger crisis, food insecurity rates in the US have doubled, and Oxfam estimates that 12,000 may die per day because of hunger linked to COVID-19. More and more people are being asked to return to work, yet some in Congress want to give corporations immunity from lawsuits if their workers and customers get sick from the coronavirus. And with Election Day now just less than 4 months away, Congress must act to protect the fundamental right to vote during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Please join us in standing up and calling on the Senate to act now to address these critical issues.
We are calling on the Senate to immediately pass a COVID-19 relief bill that specifically:
-
Addresses the growing hunger crisis by increasing international aid, including money to address hunger around the world, and increasing funding to fight hunger here at home.
-
Protects workers and consumers by rejecting efforts to give corporations immunity when they put their employees and customers at risk.
-
Protects the right to vote in the November elections by providing the necessary funding for states to increase access to mail-in and early voting to ensure a fair and safe election.
The Senate is currently debating what will, and what will not, be in the next relief bill. Write your Senators now.
Thank you for standing with us and all those who have been affected by this pandemic.
