Team,
Families across the country are struggling to make ends meet, and things will only get worse if Congress does not pass a comprehensive stimulus package before more than two-dozen relief programs expire in the coming weeks.
But the relief package that's gaining steam in negotiations right now -- while a great start with more unemployment assistance, an extended eviction moratorium, and small business aid -- doesn't include direct payments. It simply does not go far enough when millions of people are more than $5,000 behind on rent.
Will you join Ilhan in calling for the House and Senate to pass a stimulus package that includes direct payments for people and families?

We can't afford to let vital unemployment benefits and eviction protections go away as COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths surge -- nor can we go another month without giving people the direct payments they need to put food on the table and pay the rent. We're demanding a bold relief package that matches the scale of the inequities and hardships people are facing, and that must include immediate, direct relief.
Add your name next to Ilhan's to demand that the House and Senate pass a relief package that delivers direct relief to people and families.

Thank you,
Team Ilhan
