Dear Friend,
Unbelievably, in the middle of a pandemic, when coronavirus cases are
rising, COVID-19 relief has been halted by the President and Republican
leaders in the U.S. Senate. [ [link removed] ]
We cannot let this stand.
[1]**We need real solutions. Sign on to tell the U.S. Senate and Trump
administration to pass a robust COVID-relief package immediately.
Make no mistake: The families of the 210,000 people in the U.S. who have
died of COVID-19 are devastated and afraid. The 12.6 million unemployed
because of this pandemic are afraid. Those of us who have been waiting
months for the Trump administration and Senate Republicans to take action
on a COVID-relief plan are afraid.
And more than afraid, we are angry.
Congress needs to focus on COVID-19, NOT on rushing through the
confirmation of Trump’s extremist U.S. Supreme Court pick.
[ [link removed] ]***SIGN OUR LETTER NOW calling on the U.S. Senate to focus on what the
American people really need right now: A robust COVID-relief package, not
the confirmation of an extremist Supreme Court Justice!
It’s infuriating that the U.S. House of Representatives has now passed two
comprehensive COVID-relief packages that address our health needs, aid to
front line workers, an expansion of expired unemployment benefits, funding
for childcare and K-12 schools, and expanded paid family and medical
leave, yet those bills sit on Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell’s desk collecting dust while America’s families and our economy
suffer. [2]
What are U.S. Senate Republicans planning to do instead? Push through an
extremist Supreme Court nominee at a time when voting for the 2020
election has already begun. President Trump’s nominee to replace Ruth
Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, is an extremist
pick. She is against the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) [ [link removed] ], reports show
she doesn’t believe in a woman’s right to have an abortion under any
circumstances [ [link removed] ], and she has taken anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-civil rights
positions in the past. [ [link removed] ]
Yet, Republican U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is trying to
ram her confirmation through the U.S. Senate in the next few weeks,
despite the fact that voting has already started in many states and a
Supreme Court justice hasn’t been confirmed this close to an election
since 1864! The real emergency here is the fact that millions of people
are still out of work because of COVID-19, frontline workers don’t have
the protection they need, and families are struggling financially while
facing evictions, lack of childcare, and inability to pay their bills.
[3]***TAKE ACTION NOW! Sign MomsRising’s letter to the U.S. Senate calling
on them to focus on the real national emergency: COVID-19!
The clock is ticking. The time for the U.S. Senate to take action is NOW!
We are planning on delivering your signatures at the end of this week, so
we need to make sure we have as many people speaking out as possible.
After you sign our letter, please forward this email to your friends and
family and [4]post our action link to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Thank you so much for everything you are doing during such a chaotic and
stressful time.

P.S. Quick question for you? How would President Trump’s Supreme Court
nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, impact you and your family if she were seated
on the court? [5]We want to hear your stories, so we can share them with
U.S. Senators ASAP to help protect the Supreme Court from an extremist
