Urge Sen. Sinema to support the COVID relief bill and raising the Minimum Wage

 

Where is our other "Democrat" Senator when we need her?

Last week, the House of Representatives voted to pass a big, bold COVID relief bill that includes survival checks, expanded unemployment insurance, and other key lifesaving policies. The bill will soon be making its way to the Senate floor for further debate, amendments, and a vote. Senator Kyrsten Sinema has said that she doesn’t support elements of the current COVID package—specifically, she doesn't support raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.

We can’t afford to let Sen. Sinema water down this bill. She must join the vast majority of Democrats—and Americans overall—who are fully supportive of getting Biden's entire $1.9 trillion COVID relief package passed, so that Americans who need support to survive this crisis can get it as soon as possible.

On Thursday, March 4 at 12:00 p.m., we'll be gathering outside of Sen. Sinema's Tucson office to send her a message: "Will you fight for us? 20 E Ochoa St, Tucson, AZ

Now is not the time to reduce the amount of COVID relief. Millions of people are relying on our elected officials to deliver robust relief as they struggle to make ends meet.

And we need to make sure Sen. Sinema knows this.

Join us tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. as we take that message directly to her office.
