DESCRIPTION:Back for a Second Round of Stopping McConnell’s Misery, Meanness & Mayhem 
 Now!\n\nRSVP: 
 https://actionnetwork.org/events/moral-monday-march-on-mcconnell-ii/\n\nFacebook 
 livestream: https://www.facebook.com/anewppc/\n\nThis Monday, August 10 at 
 12:30 PM PT (3:30 PM ET), the #PoorPeoplesCampaign is back \nfor a second 
 #MoralMonday March on McConnell, where we will stage a digital “sit-in” 
 and massive call-in to Senator McConnell’s offices to demand he stop 
 causing misery, meanness and mayhem for our people and nation.\n\nIt’s 
 clear now that McConnell is willing to sacrifice the safety of the poor, of 
 low-wage workers, of teachers and even our children in his effort to 
 continue an extremist agenda in tandem with the White House to block a full 
 and just relief package and force schools to re-open even when it’s not 
 safe to do so. \n\nWe are facing the worst public health crisis in a 
 century and an economic recession that stands to rival the Great 
 Depression. Since March, more than 50 million unemployment claims have been 
 filed. At least 27 million people have lost their employer-sponsored health 
 insurance, joining the 87 million who were already uninsured or 
 underinsured. The moratorium on evictions has expired and a wave evictions 
 will hit undocumented people, poor renters and people of color first and 
 worst. The $600 unemployment payments that have kept 30 million people 
 afloat have also expired. \n\nWe must demand a full and just relief package 
 NOW! \n\n▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪\n\nCOVID Pandemic Relief 
 Needed Now!\n\nThe Heroes Act was passed by the House of Representatives in 
 May, but Majority Leader McConnell has not allowed the bill to be taken up 
 by the Senate. \n\nThe Heroes Act would grant a second round of $1200 
 stimulus checks including to noncitizens/immigrants who file yearly income 
 taxes, extends the $600 weekly unemployment enhancement benefit through 
 January 2021, has an eviction moratorium & emergency rent payment 
 assistance, and allocates funds for safe, secure voting during COVID as 
 well as US Postal Service funds.\n\nThe Senate HEALS Act does not extend 
 the federal moratorium on evictions, has inadequate housing relief, would 
 cut the unemployment enhancement down to $200, allocates enormous sums for 
 the military, and has ZERO provisions for safe voting or the US Postal 
 service. Under Mitch McConnell’s leadership, Senate Republicans have 
 proposed a bill that will leave citizens and states with fewer protections 
 and funds.\n\n▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪\n\nFlood the phones of 
 Majority Leader McConnell to demand a full and just relief package 
 now!\n\nPPC special phone calling link (esp. for those outside of 
 Kentucky):
