John,

The Biden administration is making progress—the prospects for major legislative achievements, and ability to help millions of people, look a lot brighter than just a few months ago.

But we need to keep pushing.

We must seize this moment and ensure our elected leaders make human needs issues a priority in the COVID-19 relief packages which are currently being debated. But we can't do it without supporters like you.

Already, with the help of our national network of grassroots supporters, we’ve sent over 140,000 letters to members of Congress. And this week, we’re helping to organize thousands of phone calls to congressional offices to keep the pressure on.

Can you donate $5 today to demand Congress include human needs issues in this critical round of COVID-19 relief? Make an end-of-month contribution today to power our efforts.

Last month, a devastating reality became clear. Nearly 8 million Americans have slipped into poverty during the pandemic—2.3 million of them are children.¹ The good news is we now have an amazing opportunity to lift struggling families from poverty.

Experts are already weighing in on precisely how effective aspects of President Biden's $1.9 trillion "American Rescue Plan" would be. According to a Columbia University report, the pandemic relief package would cut child poverty in half in the first year alone.  

This is exactly the kind of poverty reduction that will help millions of children and their families to withstand the ravages of the pandemic.

Chip in $5 today to keep up the pressure on Congress to pass a $1.9 trillion COVID relief package that prioritizes human needs.

Even as some in Congress continue to use stall tactics to delay or undermine pandemic relief, together, we will compel Congress to finally act!

Thank you for all you do to demand accountability from our political leaders and to fight for the needs of the vulnerable, the sick and the poor.
