An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
Pass the Biden-Harris Administration’s American Rescue Plan
1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
I urge you to support the Biden-Harris administration’s 1.9 trillion dollar package, the American Rescue Plan, aimed at economic aid for struggling families, relief for small businesses, and a national vaccination program to increase testing and vaccine distribution.
The American Rescue Plan would:
• provide $1,400 in direct payments to most Americans,
• increase the federal per-week unemployment benefit to $400 until September 31st,
• increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour,
• extend the eviction and foreclosure moratoriums until September 31st,
• increase the Child Tax Credit to $3,000 per child ($3,600 for children under 6), which would reduce child poverty by at least 50%,
• give $170 billion for K-12 schools and institutions of higher education,
• provide $350 billion in state and local government aid,
• add an additional $50 billion toward Covid-19 testing, and
• provide $20 billion toward a national vaccination program.
The package is now in your hands. As your constituent I ask you to swiftly pass the administration's rescue plan so America can begin its long road to full recovery.
