CALL 844-944-1556 NOW: Demand the Senate #ProtectAllWorkers. Pass the House version of the HEROES Act now.
John,
I have put my life on the line for MONTHS working for McDonald's during COVID-19.
I've had to reuse PPE. We're risking getting our families sick and one of my coworkers just came down with COVID-19. All for just $10 an hour.
I'm told I'm a "hero" while the HEROES Act -- a bill that could ACTUALLY help us and has passed the House -- is sitting on Mitch McConnell's desk in the Senate.
Instead of passing it, Senate Republicans are proposed their own bill to sell out workers and families. Here's just some of what they're proposing:
- Cutting $400 a week from unemployment insurance benefits that millions depend on
- Removing liability for companies who do not protect workers' health and safety
- Refusing to expand food assistance via SNAP while giving wealthy corporations a business meal tax deduction
- Abandoning assistance for Black people and other communities of color that are working on the frontlines and disproportionately devastated by COVID-19
The Senate could vote to give us relief TODAY. Instead they're busy enriching wealthy corporations. Call 844-944-1556 to DEMAND your Senators vote to pass the House version of the HEROES Act immediately and #ProtectAllWorkers.
Listen. Rent's due Saturday. We don't have time for this. We cannot afford another corporate bailout. The Senate needs to help workers right now.
Last week thousands of essential workers across the country went on the biggest strike in years demanding racial and economic justice. Because we've had enough.
And how did the Senate respond? By trying to help wealthy CEOs get a tax break on their lunches.
Call 844-944-1556 and tell your Senators: until you #ProtectAllWorkers, your work is NOT DONE.
We NEED masks, gloves, and free testing. We NEED money for rent, groceries, and healthcare. We NEED paid sick leave.
We need a long-term solution to this crisis, and that's only going to come if we demand our lawmakers give us one. The Senate MUST #ProtectAllWorkers -- NOW.
