As we continue to navigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that has upended our lives for a full year, the need for relief continues to grow.
We’re excited to say that at the federal level, our Democratic Congress and President Biden passed the
American Rescue Plan. This package includes support measures for YOU, including:
- $1,400 stimulus checks to millions of Americans.
- Assistance to help schools serve their students and safely transition to in-person learning.
- Establishing a national plan for vaccine distribution — which will accelerate our capacity so that every adult is eligible for the vaccine by May 1st, which is months ahead of schedule!
- Expanded federal unemployment benefits for out-of-work Americans.
- And much more!
This bill follows a lot of great legislation our Washington Senate Dems have passed to ensure Washingtonians received relief
right away. Since the start of the pandemic, Senate Democrats have proposed and passed MAJOR bills to provide financial support to small businesses, support basic needs like food assistance, and more.
Just recently, Sen. Kuderer’s bill passed through the Senate to protect tenants from evictions and support homeowners with their bills during the pandemic.
Plans like these are critical to our recovery here in Washington — and we are proud to lead the way for the rest of the country.
Be one of the 10,000 supporters we need to sign on and show support for continued passage of COVID relief:
There is still much to do to help our communities recover from this pandemic, and we’re relying on leaders across the aisle to support these necessary measures.
Thank you for taking the time to read this important message.
— Your Washington Senate Democrats
