Financial Security During Coronavirus Pandemic

Financial Security During Coronavirus Pandemic
Why this petition matters
We need a forgiveness bailout for rent and mortgage for the American people and small businesses of this country. Right now, we are in a dire situation for survival. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many families and small businesses will be displaced. The government just signed a bill to send money to families, which is a great start, but $1000 won't be nearly enough. Many employees have lost and will continue to lose jobs. Unemployment benefits, for those who can get it, won't be enough to cover your monthly expenses, even if paired with the additional $1000. We need a system in place that not only suspends evictions, but takes it step further and forgives the amount owed. This is for small business owners as well. There are several small business owners who live paycheck to paycheck also, and need to be protected. It will be extremely difficult to pay more for back payments if you're currently living paycheck to paycheck. If large corporations can be bailed out then so should the American people of this country who make all these corporations and politicians rich. We are the backbone of this country and without us they have nothing. We are in the most danger we've been in the last 100 years, millions of people will be adversely affected. Many will not only lose their jobs and homes, but their lives as well. This is not the time for the government to play politics, this is the time to protect the same American citizens that put them in office.
