John,
Throughout the pandemic, life has gotten more expensive. Delivery fees, curbside pick-up fees, and the additional steps to keep ourselves safe have come at a cost.
And, even before the pandemic, Social Security checks weren’t keeping up with rising out of pocket costs.
Now, in the 11th hour as Congress prepares to adjourn for the year, we’re on the verge of a critical breakthrough in COVID relief, which reports suggest includes direct cash payments to people and families.
Can you call BOTH of your Senators right now and urge them to vote for pandemic relief that includes cash aid to people and families?
Call: 202-224-3121
Here is a suggested call script:
Hello, my name is John xxxxxx and I’m a constituent of the Senator’s. I’m calling to share my concerns about expiring COVID relief.
With over 2,000 people dying each day from COVID, and millions of families like mine struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads, we need immediate support from Congress.
Please urge the Senator to include survival checks of $1,200 for individuals and $500 for children in the COVID relief package that Congress is hopefully voting on this week.
Survival checks and pandemic unemployment insurance are critical to people and families, regardless of immigration status.
Please share my thoughts with the Senator. Thank you.
Throughout this pandemic, people who rely on Social Security have had the highest burden because they have the most risk. Your calls today are essential to passing COVID relief that includes cash aid for millions of families who need it the most.
Thank you for all that you do each day to get us through this pandemic safely, together.
Michael Phelan
