This shouldn't be hard.
Struggling families need real relief. That includes $2,000 survival checks. The House has already passed a bill to get it done. Senate Democrats and even some Senate Republicans are on board. Trump said he'll sign it.
But now, Mitch McConnell is standing in the way. We all need to raise our voices to show that this plan has the support of the American people.
Add your name if you agree that $600 isn't enough to pull struggling families back from the brink. Congress must pass a plan for $2,000 survival checks. Now.

Putting money directly into the hands of working people will help them put food on the table, pay rent, and boost our whole economy by getting more spending going. It's a win-win for families and for our whole country.
Now, there's a lot more that Congress needs to do, on an ongoing basis until this crisis is over, to help working people and small businesses get by -- and to level the playing field in the long run.
But we should at least be able to agree to this basic step we can take right now to help address this emergency. To help keep Americans from going hungry and losing their homes. To help people have a little more security during the worst health crisis and the worst economic crisis in a century.
Because let's be clear: we still have a long way to go before we can get to a just recovery. The pandemic has forced 40 million Americans to file for unemployment, creating a gaping hole in our economy. The CARES Act provided some real relief -- the share of people in poverty dropped, and incomes rose. But then those programs expired, and as summer turned into fall, the share of Americans in poverty spiked at its fastest rate ever recorded.
The aid package that Trump just signed won't be enough. We need to do more, including sending out $2,000 checks. But it won't happen unless a grassroots movement demands it.
Add your name if you support sending $2,000 in emergency relief to working people right now.
