  • 5 Key Demands for the New Coronavirus Bill | Robert Reich

    Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich explains the key demands that we must make of Congress’ new coronavirus relief package. The bill must:

    — Contain COVID-19
    — Extend $600/week in unemployment benefits
    — Provide rent relief and extend the federal eviction moratorium
    — Shore up state and local budgets
    — Prioritize public health and economic wellbeing over the national debt

    This is the bare minimum of what our government must do to get us through this crisis.

    The window to act is closing. Call your members of Congress before it’s too late: (202) 224-3121
