Folks,
I want to make sure you understand my mindset as we continue negotiations on the next rounds of COVID-19 relief legislation in Washington.
The way I see it, if you’re not showing up ready to get immediate and substantial relief to everyday workers and families who have been to hell and back over the last year -- then you don’t deserve a seat at the table.
I’m not here to argue about whether we can afford funding for our schools and our hospitals with members of a party that happily helped President Trump blow up our nation’s deficit to fund his wall and his tax giveaway to corporations and billionaires.
I’m here to demand what’s fair for Americans who have been waiting for months for Congress to get its act together. Sign on to join me in calling for real relief that meets the scale of this crisis >>
I won’t stop until we’ve gotten people what they need to hold on during these unprecedented times. That means fighting to:
- increase the minimum wage to $15
- ensure that the unemployed and uninsured get the health care they have a right to
- boost funding for state and local governments
- send $2K relief checks every month
- expand relief benefits to our immigrant brothers and sisters
I know that when all this is through, we can work together to build a nation and an economy that truly works for all. But until then, we must do everything in our power to help everybody get through today -- add your name to demand comprehensive COVID-19 relief >>
In solidarity,
Marie
