From the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center (http://www.pennbpc.org):
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planning to hold a vote on President Biden’s American Rescue Plan by the end of this week. This comprehensive pandemic relief package will deliver vaccines to combat the coronavirus, unemployment & housing assistance, crucial aid to state & local governments, and $1,400 relief checks to individuals.
The need for this aid is urgent, as nearly half a million Americans have lost their lives to the virus – including more than 23,000 Pennsylvanians – and millions are struggling to make ends meet during the ongoing recession.
Time is running out to make your voice heard, so use the online action tool at https://www.congressweb.com/PBPC/4#/4/ to send a message to your representative in the U.S. House and Senators Bob Casey & Pat Toomey TODAY, calling on them to vote for the American Rescue Plan. And please consider reinforcing your message by calling them (it may be more effective to call a district/state office)—find contact information:
- Senator Robert Casey: http://casey.senate.gov
- Senator Pat Toomey: http://toomey.senate.gov
- Your Representative: http://www.house.gov
Thank you for advocating for this desperately needed relief package, which will be an important tool in combating the pandemic, saving lives, and reviving our economy!
