Hi,

We have a golden opportunity to deliver a $2000 stimulus check to American
households -- more than $600, which is woefully insufficient -- but we
need your help right now to make it happen.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she wants the House to pass $2000 checks.^1 Even
Donald Trump wants it too. But for $2000 checks to become reality, we need
to flood Congressional offices with messages right now, before a possible
vote on Christmas Eve. Can you help?

stimulus checks!

With rent due next week and the coronavirus spiraling out of control
across America, it's clear that a $600 check is not going to be anywhere
near enough to meet families' desperate need in this moment of crisis.

Trump's threat to veto a stimulus bill that doesn't include a $2000 check
has created a new opportunity to make it happen in Congress. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib already have an amendment ready to go.
Pelosi needs to bring back the House to make sure it can happen.

Mitch McConnell remains strongly opposed to $2000 stimulus checks. But
Trump's support for that larger check means Senate Republicans may be
willing to overcome McConnell's objections -- especially if they and their
Democratic colleagues hear a groundswell of public support for it right
now.

Demand Progress delivers your petition signatures electronically to
Congress, so when you sign the petition urging them to pass $2000 stimulus
checks, they'll receive that message today. And there's not a moment to
lose before a possible vote on Thursday. Will you speak up in this crucial
moment?
