Take Action

Congress is working on an emergency COVID-19 relief package. It isn’t perfect, but we need relief. People are hurting and this relief package can take the edge off and ease the suffering as we wait for the Biden-Harris administration to take charge of recovery efforts. Tell your lawmakers to pass this bill now.
