Urge Congress to adopt these urgently needed steps to true security amidst the coronavirus pandemic

I just sent emails to my U.S. representative and senators with support for steps that can lead to greater economic stimulus while targeting aid toward people who need it most.  My message said, in part:

I support truly grassroots economic action that targets aid to the most vulnerable and working families, not a top-down stimulus with mostly resources for bailouts of large corporations:

• Guarantee sick and family leave and well as unemployment insurance for everyone
• Protect our democracy and elections during this time through universal vote-by-mail
• Protect the vulnerable by imposing a moratorium on deportations, evictions, foreclosures, and utility shut-offs
• Include nonprofit organizations in any support for businesses designed to avoid layoffs  
• Offer cost-free care related to the pandemic, especially for the uninsured
• Ramp up production of lifesaving technology like tests, ventilators, and protective equipment
• Suspend economic sanctions that can block lifesaving medical equipment in countries hard hit by the coronavirus. 

My message concluded with a thank you to my representative and senators and their staffs for their public service during this hectic and scary time.
