With your video submissions, we were able to make a video featuring several voices of this petition. Watch above… seeing the faces and stories behind these signatures is so powerful. 

Here’s the good news: Over the weekend, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she’s open to a “guaranteed minimum income” which would mean regular checks to American families until this crisis is over. And elected officials are listening to us – there are at least eight proposals in the House and Senate that would deliver monthly checks until the economic crisis is over, from political leaders like Sherrod Brown, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Rashida Tlaib and Gwen Moore. For example, Representatives Ro Khanna (CA-17) and Tim Ryan (OH-13) introduced the Emergency Money for the People Act, which would give every American age 16 and older making less than $130,000 annually at least $2,000 per month, for up to 12 months. This is exactly what we’re asking for, but all of these bills have a long way to go before monthly checks become a reality.  

The way you can help today is by tweeting our video message at Congressional leadership or by sharing it on Facebook. 

There is leadership emerging in all of our communities to combat the ugliness and struggle in the world right now. You are part of that leadership. Stay engaged.  

Thank you so much, everyone.
