Action Alert! Urge your senators to introduce and pass the HEROES Act

Mitch: It’s time to Act for Working America – 

Pass the HEROES Act!

 Our Senators Booker and Menendez Know How Important Passing this Bill Is.  Call Them Now and Join In Supporting this Critical COVID-19 Response Bill

H.R. 6800, the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act, includes an emergency workplace infectious disease standard; gives aid for state and local governments, public schools, the U.S. Postal Service, and pension funding relief; keeps workers on payrolls to avoid mass layoffs; extends unemployment insurance; provides more direct payments to working people; extends health care coverage; provides housing and food benefits; and much more.

The New Jersey State AFL-CIO urges Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to bring the measure to the Senate, and for the Senate to pass the HEROES Act and send it to President Trump for his signature.

Get patched through to your Senator’s Office NOW by CLICKING HERE. 

The bill passed the House of Representatives on May 15, 2020.  To see how the New Jersey Congressional Delegation voted, CLICK HERE.
