In this time of pandemic and economic crisis, Congress is more out of touch than ever. With public health restrictions keeping lawmakers from meeting in-person in their communities, far too many are only seeing this crisis through the news.
We at Town Hall Project are convinced that if our elected leaders were able to hold in-person town halls right now they’d see just how bad this crisis is — and how much worse it could get.
But in just four weeks, expanded unemployment benefits and other vital support will end — unless Congress acts.
So it’s vitally important we lift up the stories of Americans at the front line of this crisis. If you, or a loved one, are unemployed and depending on expanded support to make rent, mortgage, or other basic needs, your story can make a real difference.
Please: share your story today and we’ll help elevate it — in social media, in virtual town halls, and through the news media — to make sure Congress understands.
We are at an unprecedented moment, but together we can continue to find ways to Show Up and Speak Out, and hold our leaders accountable to the needs of the American people.
Thank you, and be safe.
Nathan, Executive Director, Town Hall Project
