With the coronavirus crisis entering its six month and 30 million people unemployed, countless Americans could see their water, power, or internet disconnected this month unless Congress acts now.
Make a Call
Searing summer temperatures mean soaring electric and water bills. And that couldn’t come at a worse time, as state moratoriums on utility shut offs expire across the nation, and Congress has yet to approve a new expansion of unemployment benefits. The same goes for a home internet connection, which is vital for so many students returning to virtual classrooms this month.
Call your Senators to #PutPeopleFirst in this next coronavirus relief package. Senators can easily pass a national moratorium on utility shut offs until we get through the worst of this pandemic.
