John,

COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are surging across the country, along with poverty and homelessness rates.

But with aid programs for renters and jobless Americans expiring at the end of the month, MOMENTUM IS _FINALLY_ BUILDING FOR A BIPARTISAN COVID RELIEF PACKAGE.

HOWEVER, THE PROPOSAL DOES NOT INCLUDE A NEW ROUND OF STIMULUS CHECKS, even though directly giving people money is the best way to immediately address their economic needs.

Please sign now to demand Congress include direct payments to people and families in upcoming COVID relief legislation. ([link removed])

OUR COMMUNITIES CANNOT WAIT FOR IMMEDIATE, DIRECT RELIEF. Nearly 800,000 people are applying for unemployment each week. And as with the public health crisis, our economic crisis is hitting Black and brown communities especially hard.

More than 120 economists have pushed for another round of checks, noting that direct cash payments are "one of the quickest, most equitable, and most effective ways to get families and the economy back on track."

Since April, Republicans in the Senate have blocked the many COVID relief bills that Democrats have passed in the House to address these connected crises. Throughout this pandemic, our government has failed to protect the people who call this country home.

But finally, Congressmembers are working toward an agreement that could actually pass the Senate!

It's not nearly enough—and we need to go bigger once a new president and Congress are sworn in—but the American people can't wait one more minute for direct relief, including stimulus checks.

Right now, the proposed plan includes a limited extension of federal unemployment assistance, a continued pause on student loan payments, some eviction protections, funding for COVID testing and vaccine distribution, and funding for businesses, schools, and state and local governments.

Together, we can and we must demand that the proposed COVID relief package include stimulus checks to directly support people in need. Please sign now! ([link removed])

Thank you so much. I hope that you and your family are staying healthy and safe, and I’m grateful to have you by my side as we fight for the urgent changes our communities desperately need.

Always serving you,
Rashida
