Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Friday, February 26, 2021
We are at a turning point in the fight against the deadly COVID-19 virus.
This week marked a heartbreaking milestone with 506,000 deaths in the
United States from COVID-19. [ [link removed] ][1] So many of our families are hurting in
so many different ways. But change is coming and we have a reason to feel
hopeful -- and we need YOUR help to make sure positive changes happen as
fast as possible!
For our #5Actions this week, we are urging Congress to move forward COVID
relief ASAP. This is important because in the coming hours, the House of
Representatives will be voting on the American Rescue Plan, President
Biden’s comprehensive emergency COVID-relief package, and then that
package will go to the U.S. Senate -- so we have a lot of work to do. From
vaccines to childcare to unemployment benefits to addressing the
staggering levels of hunger in this country; there is so much our families
desperately need and this legislative package begins to make real changes
that our families, businesses, healthcare workers, and economy will feel
quickly. So we are asking you this week to take five important actions on
COVID relief: sign our letters, call your Senators, and share your
stories—because when you speak out it makes a huge difference!

Right now there is a bold, comprehensive plan moving through the U.S.

economic despair brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. From vaccines to
childcare to paid family leave to addressing the staggering levels of
hunger in this country to raising the minimum wage there is so much our
families desperately need. We need YOU to speak up right now to lift up
our families, communities, healthcare workers, and economy!

SIGN our letter to strengthen the EITC and Child Tax Credit!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
We need real solutions that put real money in the pockets of struggling
families. Luckily there is an answer already working its way through the
U.S. Congress: Expanding and increasing working family tax credits like
the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC).
[ [link removed] ]SIGN OUR LETTER NOW calling on your members of Congress to include an
increase and expansion of the EITC and Child Tax Credit in the COVID
package⎯and pass a permanent expansion of these working family tax credits
this year!
Call your U.S. Senator and say “Pass COVID-relief now!”
President Biden’s COVID relief plan, the American Rescue Plan, is making
its way through Congress. And now it’s up to the Senate to make sure our
families are able to access the emergency programs we so desperately need
like a extended unemployment benefits, a childcare stabilization fund,
eviction protections, and increased funding for vaccines. Phone calls are
one of the most high impact ways to let our elected leaders know that we
are watching them and we expect them to take action quickly!
Text ReliefNow to 747464 or call 1-888-523-8974 to connect to your U.S.
Senator’s office and tell them to pass the American Rescue Plan
immediately!

We are a year into the COVID-19 pandemic and parents and caregivers and
still struggling to work, attend college, participate in job training, and
take care of other household responsibilities because of no child care,
school, or hybrid models of pieced together school and care that don't
match the needs of families. Overall, there are 2.3 million fewer women in
our country’s workforce today than were in it before the pandemic began
last February. Simply put, there is no recovery without child care and we
MUST do better.

them to save child care?

As we approach the 12 month mark of lockdowns across the country, and over
500,000 lives lost, shuttered schools and businesses, we want to know: How
has your family been impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic? We
want to increase pressure on our elected officials and policy makers to
provide immediate relief to our families. Sharing your personal
experiences can make a HUGE difference in helping elected leaders
understand why taking critical steps—extending and expanding emergency
benefits including paid leave, unemployment insurance, and supporting
childcare—are essential to the health and well-being of our communities.

impacted by the coronavirus now as they work on solutions!
