To the Biden-Harris Transition Team, the Trump Administration, the 116th and 117th U.S. Congress, and elected and incoming Governors and state legislators:

We demand immediate COVID relief, a smooth and open transition of power and moral policies that guarantee universal healthcare, raise wages and fight chronic inequality in the first 100 days of the next administration.

Friend,

We are now approaching 250,000 COVID deaths, millions remain without healthcare, tens of millions of people throughout our country have lost their jobs or have seen their wages cut, and nearly every state is facing sharp drops in revenue that will threaten even more cuts to essential social programs and jobs.

The Biden-Harris transition team is now laying the groundwork for the difficult task ahead of governing during a pandemic and helping millions of people through economically uncertain times. Together, we are fighting to make sure the Biden-Harris transition team, and all office holders, understand that moral policy = good economics.

That means COVID relief, a smooth and open transition of power and creating a moral economy, prioritizing workers' rights and wages including a $15 minimum wage by 2025, universal healthcare, sustained full employment, unemployment insurance, expanding voting rights and reversing chronic racial and economic inequality faced by millions of Americans.

The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the fissures of inequality already felt by the millions of people who were living in poverty before the pandemic, or who were one emergency away from poverty.

Our political leaders must reject a politics of austerity and meet their commitment to visionary policies that address human needs and cultivate human capacities.
They must, in the richest country in the world, overcome the divisions caused by hunger, poverty and racism. The United States must direct resources and creativity towards the poor and dispossessed rather than lobbyists, insurance companies, Wall Street, pharmaceutical companies, and wealthy corporations.

Join EPI and our allies at the Poor People’s Campaign to demand that we end the suffering of families by fighting for moral economic policies. ([link removed])

Thank you for all you do to fight for an economy that works for all of us, not just the wealthy few.

Director of Communications, Economic Policy Institute
