Dear Friend,

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to put the health and economic security of millions of Americans at risk, Congress and the administration are negotiating the next round of recovery funding. Join us in calling on Congress to pass a robust and comprehensive recovery package that meets the needs and urgency of this crisis.

To address the overlapping crises of systemic racism, a pandemic, and resulting economic fallout, we’re urging Congress to fund: 

• Efforts to speed up and equitably distribute vaccines
• Infrastructure that will allow cities to open schools safely, support child care, and reverse the tragic spike in child poverty caused by the pandemic
• The health and humanitarian response to the global pandemic in low-income countries 
• Targeted aid to the communities hit hardest by the COVID-19 crisis, especially communities of color 

Congress must take action before funding runs out in March. Make your voice heard!

In faith and action,

Jim Simpson
