First, thank you to everyone who has signed and shared this petition. Your support has helped bring meaningful attention to the challenges many small and micro-business owners are facing with their SBA EIDL's. 

We wanted to provide a brief update.

A reporter from a major national news publication recently reached out after seeing this petition and is currently working on a story examining the impact of EIDL collections on small business owners. Their reporting is focused specifically on borrowers whose loans have already been referred to Treasury or placed into collections, and how that process is affecting real businesses and families.

For policymakers and the public to fully understand the situation, it is important that real borrower experiences are part of the conversation.

If your EIDL has been referred to Treasury or collections and you are open to speaking with a reporter, please message me directly at (202) 474-8844. 

If you are comfortable doing so, include:

• Name 
• Phone Number
• EIDL Status
• Any information about your experience that you believe is important   

Participation is completely voluntary. Contact information will only be shared with the reporter for purposes of this story.

If you know other borrowers in this situation, please consider sharing this update with them.

THANK YOU
