CONGRESS/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOBS: “[I]f Congress and President Trump fail to act [on coronavirus relief], by the end of December, 12 million Americans will lose the unemployment benefits they rely on to keep food on the table and pay their bills. Emergency paid leave will end. The moratorium on evictions will expire. States and cities will lose vital tools they need to help pay for testing and public health workers to fight COVID, to keep children and educators safe in schools, and to provide assistance to keep small businesses alive.
The situation requires urgent action. Americans need help and they need it now.”
