Friend, 

 

 

 

Governors are listening to the Chamber of Commerce and the Restaurant Industry, two lobbying groups that represent corporate interests. 

 

Those corporations want to force Americans to take jobs with low pay and no security. These jobs require 24/7 availability but don’t guarantee full-time hours, and are often unsafe. 

 

Now, the right-wing is blaming working people for demanding decent jobs that allow us to earn a living wage and be there for our families. Republicans are saying that unemployed people are lazy and that emergency unemployment benefits are just an incentive for them to stay home, when, in reality, our economy is still down 10 million jobs. People are desperately looking for work and unemployment benefits are helping families survive until the economy fully recovers. It’s insulting. 

 

These decisions end up disproportionately negatively impacting our most vulnerable communities who have been consistently pushed to the margins.

It’s unacceptable. 

 

We need President Biden to fight for continued benefits for all working people, and to overhaul the unemployment insurance system so we can all count on it during a crisis, no matter where we live. 

 

 

 

For these reasons and many more, we’re asking you to take action to urge the Biden administration and the U.S. Department of Labor to take action in support of workers and against states trying to end federal unemployment benefits early!

Thanks for all you do,

 

 

 

 

MoveOn.
