Nearly 30 million Americans are receiving unemployment aid right now. Millions more are one emergency expense away from being broke. But for some reason, Republican leaders in the Senate think that doesn’t require decisive action.
Since the beginning of this pandemic, Americans have received just one $1,200 check to make it through. Now, McConnell won’t even send a second one, despite how many people are suffering.
Let’s be honest here: Even just two $1,200 checks isn’t enough. That’s why Ro’s been fighting for $2,000 recurring payments for every family – because working people deserve some room to breathe.
But this fight is larger than just the COVID-19 pandemic. For decades, wages for working families have remained stagnant, while costs of living have skyrocketed. Folks are being forced to make due with less and less, and that’s no accident.
We have an economy that’s just not working for the majority of Americans. It’s great at making sure the top 1% retain power and influence, but not so great at making sure folks are paid a living wage. Together, we can fight to change that.
Thanks for your support. None of our work would be possible without it.
In solidarity,
Team Ro
