Friend,
This Thursday, the GOP’s COVID-19 “relief” bill — which didn’t come anywhere near matching the scale of this crisis — failed in the Senate.
Now it’s time for the Senate to pass the House’s HEROES Act to actually put money in the hands of families, expand unemployment benefits and food assistance, and extend the eviction and foreclosure moratorium.
Will you add your name next to Ilhan’s to call on the Senate to deliver people the economic relief they’re counting on by passing the HEROES Act?
The Senate GOP’s bill was a farce. It would not have provided direct payments or protections for renters and mortgage-holders — instead, it proposed to cut unemployment benefits by 50%, protect corporations who expose workers and customers to COVID-19 from liability, and allocate less funding to schools and districts that choose to keep students and educators safe through distance learning.
The HEROES Act, which the House passed months ago, does not cover all of our priorities — but passing it is an important start in delivering critical relief to far too many people who have lost their jobs and health insurance and are being forced to make the impossible choice between paying the rent or mortgage and putting food on the table.
Join Ilhan in putting people over corporations by calling on the Senate to pass the HEROES Act.
Thank you for speaking truth to power during this critical time.
Team Ilhan
