 COVID package now!\n\nWe protest: Stacking the Supreme Court, Suppressing 
 the Vote, Sabotaging the USPS, \nStopping the Stimulus, Stealing 
 Healthcare, Stifling Living Wages, Separating Families \nand the infection

 Digital March on Mitch McConnell is in conjunction with the in-person \nSan 
 Francisco Car Caravan & March Protest happening today with the \nBay Area 
 Poor People's Campaign, as well as car caravan protests nationwide.\n\nSAN

 Pandemic Relief Needed Now!\n\nThe HEROES Act was passed by the House of 
 Representatives back in May, but \nMajority Leader McConnell has not 
 allowed the bill to be taken up by the Senate, \nand is now more concerned 
 with ramming through a SCOTUS confirmation.\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\nAdditionally, despite the count of over 208,000+ Americans dead from 
 COVID-19, the McConnell-led Senate's attention is instead focused on 
 rushing a Supreme Court nominee to confirmation—one that believes in 
 dismantling health care, during a 
 pandemic!\n____________________________________________________________\n\nCALL

 and just relief package. Call and demand passage of the HEROES Act
