The COVID Response situation at the federal level seems to be changing daily. We have been following this for weeks and it seems for a moment, the tides have begun to settle.
As of September 30, a Continuing Resolution has been signed by the President and passed into law. Continuing Resolutions, which usually operate as a way to secure funds for federal government functions during Congress closures, has been negotiated to include some opportunities for states to choose to give continued supports for families and working people.
We need a bill that includes real comprehensive relief for our communities. This means extended unemployment benefits, expanded SNAP benefits, housing protections, and other supports that would make surviving in this pandemic possible for families and community members across the country. It's what we need. It's what we deserve.
Tell your Senator to prioritize passing a comprehensive COVID bill.
