Friend --
I'm proud to say that Congress has passed the American Rescue Act, and that the relief needed by so many in our communities is on the way.
As the vaccine rollout picks up speed every day, we’re finally beginning to see the light at the end of this year-long tunnel. Now, I'm excited to provide working people and small businesses with real relief so we can begin to build back better by repairing the communities we love.
Like Democrats have consistently said since the beginning of the Biden Administration, this financial relief package will positively impact every American. Among its major provisions:
- Direct cash payments to working families while millions of people are out of work and struggling to pay bills;
- Support for vaccines and testing as we work to save lives and achieve herd immunity;
- Funding for schools and childcare to ensure our kids and teachers are taken care of;
- Enhanced unemployment benefits for families who are struggling to find work and need our help;
- Expanded food assistance so struggling families don’t have to ration meals; and
- Rent and an eviction moratorium because no one should have to worry about whether they can afford to keep a roof over their head during this pandemic.
We still have work to do and a long road ahead of us before we get back to normal. Millions of Americans are hurting, and I am honored to be able to take this important action to finally get a handle on this crisis and provide the relief that so many are seeking.
If you’re as hopeful about this recent news as I am, and you want to help our campaign keep up the fight to defeat this pandemic, distribute the vaccine to all 50 states and territories, and revive our economy, please consider making a contribution right now! →
I’ll be in touch with more news in the coming weeks. Until then, stay well and thank you again for your continued support!
In solidarity,
Frank
