Activists seek ‘Peoples Agenda’—relief legislation that favors workers

The goal is to have lawmakers sign “The Peoples Agenda Pledge.” The agenda is grounded in four pillars:

  • Keep people on payrolls: Stop mass layoffs, and preserve employment relationships for all businesses, including small businesses. Ensure federal dollars go to workers and small businesses, not enriching CEOs and Wall Street.
  • Provide financial relief: Expand aid for the most vulnerable in the COVID-19 epidemic, including direct cash assistance, increased food aid, debt relief, and eviction protections.
  • Protect public health: Full health coverage for all COVID-19 care and protections for all frontline workers.
  • Defend elections: Enact a vote-by-mail requirement for 2020 federal elections while maintaining access to in-person voting for those who do not have access to mail voting.

Indivisible suggested people turn up the heat on their representatives by contacting them via email and tweet this week. […]

The economic crisis drove the call to Pelosi made last week by more than 100 economists urging Congress to pass Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s (D-Wash.) Paycheck Guarantee Act.

“Our current relief systems are failing to deliver the kind of expansive and immediate relief American workers and businesses need in a streamlined and quick way,” Jayapal said in a statement last month. “Mass unemployment is a policy choice—and Congress must choose differently to stop the suffering.”

Oh my God. The ability to do a 180 without acknowledging you just completely changed your statement is a remarkable thing. 🤨 https://t.co/f26cVcNrQf

BLAST FROM THE PAST

At Daily Kos on this date in 2011—HR 3 is GOP’s ultimate betrayal of ‘Tea Party values’:

In order to make their “no taxpayer funding for abortion” scheme work, Republicans use H.R. 3 to disallow tax deductions for your health care expenses if your private insurance plan covers abortion. Not if you actually get an abortion. And not if a member of your family does. All it takes for you to see your taxes hiked is if the private insurance plan you selected and paid for with your own money permits coverage of abortion at all. For anyone. Even if you never get one and never plan to. If you bought a plan that agrees to cover abortion if someone else totally unrelated to you needs one, then you lose eligibility for any tax deductions for the cost of your insurance, and your tax bill shoots up. Republicans take your cash, because you agreed to buy a plan that might someday pay for someone else’s abortion.
