The House has shown they are ready to fight for a truly inclusive and healthy democracy. The Senate must now follow suit and move this legislation forward.
It should be obvious that this bill is still not a sufficient response to the current crises, and relief will be fleeting. What this bill will do is help people survive a bit longer, which is the bare minimum we should expect. Americans deserve more—and Republicans cannot be trusted to do anything other than prioritize corporations and the wealthy. Leaving them in power will only leave more Americans in poverty. We plan to keep fighting for the full and equitable recovery the people are demanding.
Indivisible strongly supports Rep. Jayapal and the Congressional Progressive Caucus in demanding that any COVID relief package include survival checks and enhanced UI.
Amy Coney Barrett is a threat to the health and safety of millions of Americans. Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate are a threat to the health and safety of our very democracy. And despite what McConnell may claim from the Senate floor, this isn't over. If he thinks that we "won't be able to do much about this," he should think again. We can and will defeat his disastrous agenda and restore balance to the courts. It all starts on November 3.
Republicans just voted Amy Coney Barrett out of committee with no Democrats present. This is further proof that the entire process is an illegitimate sham.
