Re: Coronavirus relief for New York

, as of this writing, more than - 1,532,889 Americans have been infected with coronavirus, - 91,094 Americans have died as a result of the pandemic and, - 36,000,000 Americans have been laid off. But when asked about his timeline for passing the next, much needed, COVID-19 relief bill, Mitch McConnell [said]( we haven't "felt the urgency of acting immediately.” [Sign and send a petition to your U.S. senators: Americans are already feeling the urgency. The Senate must pass a pandemic relief bill immediately.]( [SIGN AND SEND A PETITION]( McConnell didn't hesitate to spend billions of dollars bailing out large corporations, CEOs, and Donald Trump's buddies. He has also called the Senate back into session in order to confirm right-wing judges — including one of his former interns. But somehow he can't feel compelled to lessen the suffering of his very own constituents. With so many workers and families struggling to make ends meet — and with the no end in sight — it’s unconscionable that McConnell would prioritize padding the pockets of the mega-wealthy and packing the courts with his former interns, while slow-walking aid for everyday people. Thanks to sustained grassroots activism, the Democratic-led House of Representatives [approved]( the HEROES Act, legislation that would greatly help address the public health and economic crises. But until the Republican-controlled Senate comes to the negotiating table, we won't reap any of its benefits. We need your help once again to make McConnell and the Senate feel the urgency of the moment. [Sign and send a petition to your U.S. senators: Americans are already feeling the urgency.
