 \n\nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1SfybupymxnuVHmtpi9iFOqNncM0_Ld96_K9nYyGNrRY/edit\n\nUse 
 the #RealReliefNow hashtag in every 
 tweet\n______________________________________________________\n\nToday at 3 
 p.m. ET, we're protesting online and inviting you to join thousands of 
 fellow MoveOn members to demand #RealReliefNow in a first-of-its-kind 
 Twitter rally.\n\nSo many of us are struggling to make ends meet as a 
 result of the coronavirus crisis.\n \nBut for all of the trillions of 
 dollars in "stimulus" doled out by the Trump administration, all that's 
 gotten in the hands of working people is a one-time $1,200 payment (which 
 too many of us aren't eligible for or haven't received yet).\n \n$1,200 is 
 not relief for the working class, despite what Trump's treasury secretary, 
 Steven Mnuchin, says. And as we struggle, corporations and billionaires are 
 getting a disproportionate share of the relief packages. Who do they think 
 they're fooling?\n \nWe need #RealReliefNow, and we're taking all of our 
 demands to the platform-in-chief: Twitter. \n\nGive it a read before 3 p.m. 
 ET and then join us on Twitter for a live, all-virtual protest. Don't 
 forget to text the word "TWEET" to 668366 to RSVP and read more about the 
 action.\n\nUse the #RealReliefNow hashtag in every tweet\n\nHERE'S HOW IT 
 WORKS:\n \nIf you sign up to be part of our Twitter rally, you will receive 
 a series of SMS messages starting at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday. Each message 
 will include a question and a link to easily tweet your own answer using 
 the #RealReliefNow hashtag.\n \nYou will be one of thousands of digital 
 participants sharing your story in tweet-sized snippets, and you can also 
 add photos and videos to your tweet to get your story across. \n \nIf 
 you're in a big city and missing energetic rallies with thousands of 
 people, or in a smaller city and missing having a shared experience with 
 your neighbors, this is the action for you.\n \nAnd, as we all share our 
 stories, listen to one another, comment on each other's words and retweet, 
 we'll create momentum around #RealReliefNow that our elected officials will 
 not be able to ignore. Right now is the critical time to raise our voices 
 as Republicans in Congress resist additional relief efforts and Democrats 
 determine the scale of the stimulus they will propose. These decisions are 
 happening within days—while many of us wrestle with impending rent, 
 mortgage, and other payments.\n \nJoin this action by texting TWEET to 
 668366. This action depends on all of us acting together, at the same time, 
 with the same hashtag, which is why we'll reach out through texts to make 
 this action work.\n\n \n
