[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress

We have a
quick update on the stimulus negotiations.

As you might know, after months of obstruction, congressional Republicans
finally agreed to pass a bill that would send out $600 checks.

But just last night there was a surge of new momentum for bigger checks.
Nancy Pelosi threw her support behind $2,000 checks. So did Chuck Schumer.
And even Donald Trump says he wants $2,000.

The good news is that AOC and Rashida Tlaib already have the amendment
drafted! Now, we just need to get it to a vote.

Senate to pass the amendment and put $2,000 checks in the stimulus?

This is
big. That’s why we’ve launched a joint petition with more than 23
candidates and groups calling on Congress to act. If Mitch McConnell feels
public support for $2,000 checks is too strong to deny, particularly with
Georgia and control of the Senate on the line, we might be able to pass
this.

Republicans have been blocking aid for months. As unemployment claims
piled up and food bank lines grew, they did nothing to help Americans
struggling economically in the midst of a global pandemic. Now they have a
chance to pass something substantive.

We know $600 is not enough. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and even Donald
Trump are all on board to raise the amount to $2,000. We just need Mitch
McConnell to agree to put it to a vote in the Senate.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to our official petition now to call on the U.S. House
and Senate to pass the amendment and put $2,000 checks in the stimulus.

After you’re done signing, please share this petition with friends and
family so we can get as many people speaking up for $2,000 checks as
possible during this critical final moment of negotiations.

- Team AOC
