Actions for Week of December 27, 2020
Let’s Stop Mitch and Flip Georgia
STIMULUS RECAP
Congress passed a bill with some help for NY and people suffering from the pandemic. It’s not enough, but it was a start. Trump finally signed it, last night. But, the extra unemployment assistance has now lapsed and there will be a gap in benefits.. People are suffering and Trump is playing golf and Pence is skiing. House votes today on veto override (of the defense bill) and on a stand-alone bill to give us the $2,000 Trump claims he wants.
Monday, December 28 - Tuesday, Jan. 5

THE PEOPLE LEAD
Indivisible will be having nationwide “The People Lead” events. Whether Senator Schumer is majority or minority leader (we hope to know by then), we will be pressuring him, with events in front of his offices, and coordinated letter writing and social media/calling campaigns to enact and push for a more progressive agenda. Details as I get them.
