Why this petition matters

Started by STL Black Woman, #STLBW

How could our own United States Congress that works for the people, go home for the Holidays during this pandemic without signing a stimulus bill to feed the families in America? 

This has been the most devastating year in American history. Our families will be celebrating the Holidays with over 250,000 family members gone, we've lost our homes, we have no jobs and our families are hungry!

More than 13 million people could lose their unemployment benefits at the end of December, what a nightmare Christmas Gift!

"Roughly 3.6 million Americans have been out of work for more than 27 weeks, or six months, according to the October jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Overall, roughly 1 in 3 people currently out of work have been unemployed since the coronavirus pandemic upended the U.S. economy in the spring."  https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/06/13-million-people-could-lose-unemployment-benefits-by-end-of-december.html

It has been hard enough coping with the coronavirus, wearing masks to protect others, and canceling our own Holiday plans to see our grieving family members that we have left. 

We even voted in the Presidential election during this heartbreaking time and donated to both red and blue for the sake of America. Yes, we're resilient but now it's time for you to give back!

Please don't take Holiday leave until you have passed a stimulus package for your American Families before Christmas!

KEEP HOPE ALIVE, KEEP AMERICA ALIVE! 

May God Bless America,
