WEBINAR: Dispatch from the Frontlines: The Fight to Save Unemployment Insurance
This week’s discussion will examine the economic crisis in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Millions of workers will lose their income from unemployment insurance at the end of the month, starving families of a much needed lifeline. Without an extension of the pandemic relief, families will be forced to choose between paying their rent and putting food on the table.
