Thanks to @RepPressley, @RepRaskin, @repcleaver, @RepEscobar, @Ilhan & @RepAOC for joining me in leading this bicameral push for recurring, direct payments to the most at-risk in the next #COVID19 response bill. We must ensure they're able to meet their basic needs through this.

Some of the most at-risk are the many low-income Americans working as essential employees in grocery stores, hospitals, and elsewhere, risking their lives to provide for their families. https://www.politico.com/interactives/2020/coronavirus-impact-on-low-income-jobs-by-occupation-chart/

Special thanks to @SenKamalaHarris, @SenMarkey & @SenSanders for their support in the Senate. Together, we'll ensure a rent increase, childcare, tuition fees, or even a blown tire won’t ruin a family’s ability to stock their pantry or seek necessary medical care in this crisis.
