Tell the Senate: Pass COVID-19 Relief for People, Not Corporations!

U.S. SENATE:

Right now, Americans are looking to Congress to provide them with the urgent assistance that they need during the worst coronavirus surge the United States has yet experienced. As we reach another grim milestone of 300,000 people dead due to COVID-19 and as the economy weakens further, it is imperative that the U.S. Senate act immediately to provide the federal aid that people need so desperately. That relief package should not include language proposed by Mitch McConnell that would allow corporations and employers protection for failing to implement widely accepted health and safety protocols.

I demand that the Senate immediately pass coronavirus aid that prioritizes Americans over corporate interests!

For the past six months, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been blocking coronavirus relief because he continues to insist that any new bill include a clause shielding corporations from any liability for protecting their employees and customers from COVID-19.

Including the kind of language McConnell wants would make it hard for workers to ensure protection from employers who put them in harm’s way by not following widely circulated health and safety protocols.

Two dozen coronavirus relief programs are set to expire, state and local governments continue to experience extreme financial strain, efforts to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine are underfunded, and health care costs associated with COVID-19 testing and treatment continue to rise. McConnell’s decision to prioritize corporate relief over the needs of his constituents and the nation is unconscionable and inexcusable.
