With 45 million people living in poverty and no further direct cash relief in the middle of a pandemic, our government does more than fail to serve its people; it’s criminally neglectful of them. Biden should move quickly and deliver massively to provide serious economic relief.

I'm not optimistic. Frankly, although Biden has a Democratic label, his congressional history is as a moderate Republican. I hope I'm wrong. But his transition team & potential cabinet are not promising. Imho.

We can't wait. 13 million more lose support in Dec. Biden needs to make big moved when he is in office, but Congress needs to take action on a compromise that will hold us over until then. We could use your amplification and voice in that fight. #ReliefNow

Pelosi/Schumer lack the integrity to take care of those who are suffering. They own the suffering on behalf of Biden.

The “socialist’ Canadian govt gets it; putting money in the hands of struggling people keeps them going and contributing to the economy. That’s how you keep the wheels on. The government isn’t and should never be run as a business. I’m sorry your government puts citizens last.

Huh? Trump is ready to sign off on any relief.... after it comes from Congress. It has nothing to do with the President
