➡️ Priorities for the Next Coronavirus Relief Package

This discussion thread is pinned.



Details

Our country is now facing its worst crisis in modern history. We are in the midst of a COVID-19 pandemic that could lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans and infect millions of others, and we are entering an economic downturn that could be worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s.

In this unprecedented moment in modern American history, it is imperative that we respond in an unprecedented way. That means that Congress must pass, in the very near future, the boldest piece of legislation ever written in modern history.

There are many, many issues that must be addressed in our response to this pandemic, and working together, we will make sure they are addressed.

1. Addressing the Employment Crisis and Providing Immediate Financial Relief

2. We Must Guarantee Health Care to All

3. Use the Defense Production Act to Produce the Equipment and Testing We Need

4. Make Sure No One Goes Hungry

5. Provide Emergency Aid to States and Cities

6. Suspend Monthly Payments
