More stimulus checks.
In eight months, Americans have received just one $1,200 check.
There should be quarterly, $2,000 checks.

🍎 About 29M adults — 12.1% of all adults — reported that their household sometimes or often didn’t have enough to eat in the last 7 days. That translates to an estimated 9-17M kids who live in a family in which the kids were not eating enough because the they couldn’t afford it.
Despite Trump’s claims, his EO doesn't extend the federal ban on evictions or provide more funds to tenants to cover lost rent payments. #RentReliefNow
In fact, it doesn’t do anything that immediately helps people pay their rent & avoid evictions.

However, Trump Admin officials are recklessly claiming that renters are now protected from evictions.
That must be particularly concerning for the likely millions of people struggling to pay rent in August. #RentReliefNow

The nation faces serious rental #housing problems that this executive order doesn’t solve.
Instead, policymakers should take a comprehensive approach to address them adequately in the next #COVIDRelief bill. #RentReliefNow

Trump’s expected executive order to extend the #CARESAct’s federal ban on evictions very likely will prove woefully inadequate to help people experiencing #homelessness or the millions of renters struggling to pay rent. #RentReliefNow

Eviction moratoriums alone do not help renters pay the bills. Renters continue to accumulate rent debt & struggle to pay for utilities, food, & other necessities. #RentReliefNow

1/ I get the characterization of remote learning as a win.
It makes sense only bc our country has allowed politicians to turn the safety & mortality of human beings into a political contest. #COVID19 #SafeReopening

2/ Students, community groups, parents, and @CTULocal1 organized to force the mayor into making the best decision.
We shouldn’t have had to make her make that decision. An #ERSB should hv made the decision already. But, this is Chicago. #MakeItMakeSense

3/ Honestly, once #Trump said re-open schools, the decision was obvious. But, #CPS and #MLL 🤷🏾♀️
Victory lap? Nah. Imma pass. We still hv an extraordinary amount of work before us. #RemoteLearning

NEW in the NYT from @BharatRamamurti and me: unless Congress acts, millions will take a paycut as they return to work. Our Fair Wage Guarantee would parlay the $600 UI boost into a wage hike, increasing demand and helping low-wage workers most. 1/9 nytimes.com/2020/07/05/opi…
The $600 has been a lifeline for unemployed Americans during the pandemic. It’s kept poverty rates from spiking and the bottom from falling out of our economy. Because many laid-off workers have low wages, 68% of unemployed workers have actually seen their incomes increase. 2/9
The UI boost expires this month & Congress must #savethe600. [Expiring eviction moratoria should also be extended. We need #RentReliefNow.]
But we shouldn’t miss the opportunity to raise wages & capture the macroeconomic benefits of the $600 on the other side too. 3/9
