Forgive EIDL Loans for COVID-Era Shutdown Victims

The Issue

We didn’t choose to shut down our businesses.
We were forced to — by government mandates based on flawed science and political agendas.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of small business owners were coerced into borrowing through the SBA’s EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loan) program, just to stay afloat. These loans were marketed as a lifeline, but became a long-term financial burden many of us are still struggling to repay.

Meanwhile:

Billion-dollar corporations received bailouts.
PPP loans were forgiven with ease.
Political leaders broke their own rules.
And we’re still paying for it.

We now know the lockdowns were mismanaged, inconsistent, and in many cases — unnecessary. Small businesses suffered the most, yet are the ones left with debt.

It’s time for economic justice:

✅ We call on the SBA and Congress to forgive all COVID-era EIDL loans for small business owners.
✅ We demand an investigation into the mishandling and misrepresentation of COVID mandates that forced small businesses to use these programs in order to stay open.
✅ We ask leaders like Elon Musk to help us amplify this call and support the people who drive the real economy.

This is not about charity.
It’s about repairing the damage done by government overreach.

Sign now if you agree. Let’s demand justice for the small businesses that followed the rules — and paid the price.
