John, Trump’s response to COVID-19 has gone from bad to worse.
“They are dying, that’s true. And it is what it is.” —Trump during an interview with Axios
Trump has made it clear that he doesn’t care how many loved ones we’ve lost because of his arrogance or how many of us are about to lose our homes in this worsening recession. He’d rather bail out corporations and his ‘Billionaire Boys Club’ cronies than provide basic support for women, families, and workers. Five months have now passed in this pandemic — we’re putting our foot down and demanding action once and for all.
Add your name now to the petition we’re sending to Sens. McConnell (KY), Alexander (TN), Collins (ME), Romney (UT), Grassley (IA), Hawley (MO), Murkowski (AK), Graham (SC), Gardner (CO), Portman (OH), Rubio (FL), and Cornyn (TX). We need their votes if we want to pass the relief families and workers are waiting for.
Mitch McConnell is now trying to push his own plan for COVID relief, but there’s absolutely nothing helpful about it.
His dangerous and insufficient coronavirus relief proposal would slash unemployment benefits by $400 a week, tie school funding to reopenings, and funnel millions for new military hardware. It’s blatantly clear that the only folks who would benefit from this bill are the billionaire buddies of this administration and the ultra-rich.
It’s going to be an uphill battle to make sure workers and families receive the relief they need to get through this crisis. But we will not go down without a fight. There’s too much at stake.
Thousands of families are on the edge of being evicted from their homes. Millions of women lost their jobs during COVID-19 and will no longer be able to afford basic needs if the Senate doesn’t provide immediate support. Women of color are especially bearing the brunt of this economic downturn and many are still risking their lives as essential workers without proper protection.
The House passed the Heroes Act months ago, which includes the necessary measures that essential workers, families, and women need to survive this pandemic. We just need to convince the Senate now to do the right thing and choose people over party politics. Right now, half of Mitch’s Republican colleagues don’t agree with his proposal.
That’s why we’re racing to collect as many signatures as we can in the next 48 hours before the Senate adjourns and returns to their home districts. Will you add your name to the petition we’re sending to 12 Republican Senators and make sure our voices are heard in this crisis?
Keep fighting,
Women’s March
