Working people have elected true allies to the White House with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They visited our union halls, they marched on our picket lines and they campaigned as unabashed friends of labor unions. Now that the people have spoken, it is critical for Congress to finally move COVID-19 relief in a lame-duck session.
Passing the HEROES Act is the emergency medicine we need as President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris prepare to take office.
Call your U.S. Senator now: 866-832-1560. Tell them to pass the HEROES Act.
The coronavirus is raging in Wisconsin. Over 2,500 Wisconsinites have died from COVID-19. The numbers are going up, we must help working families through the worst of this pandemic.
The American people have been waiting months and months for another round of COVID-19 relief. The Senate must Act. The HEROES Act includes an emergency workplace infectious disease standard; gives aid for state and local governments, public schools, the U.S. Postal Service, and pension funding relief; keeps workers on payrolls to avoid mass layoffs; extends unemployment insurance; provides more direct payments to working people; extends health care coverage; provides housing and food benefits; and much more.
Every single day that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Republican leaders fail to act is another day that more Americans fall sick, lose our income, lose our jobs, lose our homes. We cannot afford to wait another day, another week or another month.
Despite the pandemic, working people turned out in record numbers and made our voices heard this fall. We have done our job. Now it’s time for the Senate to do the same. It’s time to move forward together for a better day for working people and that starts with passing the HEROES Act.
