Tell Congress to protect workers and support a bottom-up bailout

U.S. Congress

In order to protect his billionaire CEO and Wall Street pals, Trump announced that he plans to “re-open” the economy in a matter of weeks. This goes against all of the public health guidance we’re seeing from doctors and other experts.

Right now, we need a bottom-up bailout from Congress that will provides direct relief to workers – not force them to go back to work and endanger lives for the sake of corporate profit.

TELL CONGRESS TO support a bottom-up bailout that includes direct cash assistance, paid sick leave, expanded unemployment insurance, and student debt forgiveness.

To: U.S. Congress
From: [Your Name]

As we’ve seen, our economy is built from the bottom-up. Health care workers, grocery store employees, farm workers, and small businesses are vital to our economic well-being, yet they are the ones who are most at risk from the COVID-19 crisis.

These people need our support right now. Congress must make sure that people – not corporations – are protected first and foremost.

Please support a bottom-up bailout that would:

• Provide at least $2,000/month for all adults and $1,000 for each child.
• Suspend all consumer and small business credit payments
• Approve $5 billion in emergency homeless assistance
• Ban all evictions, foreclosures, and repossessions
• Suspend rental and utility payments for assisted renters and provide rental and utility payment assistance for non-assisted renters

Thank you.
