Democrat Eric Swalwell represents California's 15th Congressional District. If you no longer wish to receive emails, you can unsubscribe here or by emailing [email protected]. 

On May 15th, Eric and House Democrats passed the Heroes Act – a bill that would provide much needed economic relief to folks impacted by COVID-19. 

That was 82 days ago.

And in that time, Mitch McConnell and his Republican colleagues have refused to vote on the bill.

They care so little about people struggling to make ends meet that they were willing to let the extra $600 a week in unemployment benefits folks received disappear. ⬇️

COVID-19 is an unprecedented crisis that demands an unprecedented response from Congress.

But unless you're rich and powerful, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans aren’t focused on helping you.

Instead of extending vital economic assistance to folks who are unemployed, Mitch McConnell wants to end that lifeline to cash for unemployed folks struggling financially.

Instead of helping families keep food on the table, Mitch McConnell wants to shield big business from their obligations to protect their employees.

And instead of protecting folks from being evicted from their homes, Mitch McConnell wants to protect your landlord’s right to kick you to the curb.

This is truly unconscionable. Americans are suffering and Mitch McConnell is making it impossible to provide people with the help they need to survive.

That’s why we’re asking you to sign our letter to Mitch McConnell demanding he bring the Heroes Act up for a vote TODAY! Will you add your name to our letter right now?
