The next federal COVID relief package, the HEROES Act, was passed in the US House of Representatives in May, but is now stuck in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has stalled the bill because he opposes core provisions that would extend unemployment protections and aid for state and local governments, which is desperately needed by many workers who have been laid off or furloughed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead he wants to focus on protecting employers from being sued for putting workers and customers at risk.

Working families are having trouble putting food on the table and are facing eviction while the Senate stalls and debates provisions that would protect major corporations. We need to act NOW to get the HEROES Act passed!

Where: Your home! This is a Virtual Phonebank, so we'll be coming together remotely using ZOOM to discuss the bill and then start making calls. We will send out a ZOOM link for you to join.

If you've never used Zoom or joined us for a virtual phonebank before, no problem! We'll do a brief training to make sure that everyone is ready to make calls.
