DESCRIPTION:The Poor People's Campaign will be engaging in a large scale protest 
 against Sen. McConnell \nboth online and in-person at his Kentucky offices 
 statewide on Sept. 21.\n\nWhen: Monday, September 21 at 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM 
 PT\n\nRSVP here: 
 https://actionnetwork.org/forms/moral-monday-caravans-and-digital-march-on-mcconnell/\n\nJoin 
 the protest livestream here: https://www.facebook.com/anewppc/\n\nInstead 
 of passing a full and comprehensive COVID relief package, Senate Majority 
 Leader McConnell has engaged in the sins of: Suppressing the Vote, 
 Sabotaging the USPS, Stopping the Stimulus, Stealing Healthcare, Stifling 
 Living Wages and Separating Families!\n\nCar Caravan protests will be 
 demonstrating at McConnell's offices throughout \nthe state of Kentucky, 
 while people across the country engage in digital direct action \n(see 
 "Call to Action" instructions below).\n\nJoin a caravan or join us online 
 where we'll get live reports from each location. We can't be silent 
 anymore; indeed, our voices have never been more 
 important!\n\n▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪\n\nRev. Dr. William J. 
 Barber II on the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:\n\n"How do you mourn 
 the loss of a great champion for justice like Ruth Bader Ginsburg? You 
 mourn deeply & you vow to continue her work with even greater resolve. Her 
 death must bring us to life.\n\nIf McConnell over reaches, I’m believing 
 the people will over perform, and we could see an election like never 
 before. RBG often quoted Justice Brandeis: 'The greatest menace to freedom 
 is an inert people.' May she Rest In Peace. We must rise with 
 power!"\n\nhttps://twitter.com/RevDrBarber\n\n▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪\n\nCOVID 
 Pandemic Relief Needed Now!\n\nThe HEROES Act was passed by the House of 
 Representatives back 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\nThen, the House 
 passed the separate Delivering for America Act to at least protect and 
 fully fund the USPS in time for the November election.  That legislation is 
 being stalled by McConnell, as well.\n\nInstead, McConnell and GOP Senators 
 back the Senate HEALS Act which 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.\n\nUnder Mitch 
 McConnell’s leadership, Senate Republicans have proposed a bill that will 
 leave citizens and states with fewer protections and 
 funds.\n\n▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪\n\nCALL TO ACTION\n\nFlood

 package now!\n\nPPC special phone calling link (esp. for those outside of
