Congress: #DeliverForVotingRights, make progress possible.

JANUARY 6TH DAY OF REMEMBRANCE AND ACTION: Today marks one year since the violent and deadly attacks at the U.S. Capitol. A broad coalition of more than 130 organizations are holding a D.C. vigil near the U.S. Capitol with more than 350 events planned across the country. To prevent this kind of attack from happening again, advocates are demanding elected leaders pass urgent legislation that will protect the right to vote including the Freedom to Vote Act, the Protecting Our Democracy Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and DC Statehood.
Reps. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Andy Kim (D-NJ), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and Sen. Chris Van Hollen will also provide remarks and offer first-hand accounts of the January 6th attacks.

CHN's #TrackingHardship Covid-19 Watch covers the impact that #BuildBackBetter would have for reducing hardship:
- 39 million families would receive the expanded #ChildTaxCredit payments of $3,000-$3,600 per child to cover basic expenses.
- 2-4 million uninsured adults below the poverty line would gain more affordable health coverage, 60% of these adults are POC and live in states refusing to expand Medicaid programs.
- ⬆️ Increased funding for Home and Community-Based Services of $150 Billion will serve more of the aging and people with disabilities. 817,000 people are now on waiting lists for #HCBS.
Please tell Congress: get it done.
☎️Call your representative today at 1-888-516-5820 and demand that they pass #BuildBackBetter!

43,000 millionaires will get an average tax break of $1.6 million this year, while American workers receive $1,200 apiece at best. If that sounds unfair to you, that’s because it is.

On June 20, right between the primaries and the conventions, we rise together. Join us at June2020.org! The Mass Poor People's Assembly & Moral March on Washington is going digital! On June 20th, we will hold the largest digital and social media gathering of poor and low-wealth people, moral and religious leaders, advocates, and people of conscience in this nation’s history. A global pandemic is exposing even more the already existing crisis of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy and militarism, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism. On June 20, the 140 million poor and low-wealth people across this nation will be heard! WATCH the broadcasts on the #PoorPeoplesCampaign FB page: FB.com/anewppc & June 20 website: june2020.org The event will be rebroadcast on June 20th & 21st, at 6PM ET. The increasing urgency of a broad movement led by the poor and most impacted is more apparent every day. Now is the time to organize towards collective action to enact a moral agenda that lifts all people by challenging the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, militarism, ecological devastation, and the distorted moral narrative that ties it all together. The fact that there are 140 million poor and low-income people in the richest country in the history of the world is morally indefensible, constitutionally inconsistent, and economically disastrous. ***************** The broadcast on June 20th and June 21st will be interpreted into Spanish and ASL (American Sign Language) and will be open captioned in English. ASL interpretation will be visible on-screen for the Digital Mass Assembly and March on all digital & TV network platforms. A second ASL Interpreter only-view live-stream will be available in the Deaf Poor People’s Campaign Facebook group and page showing a larger view of the ASL interpretation. Open Captioning in English will be available on a
It is 20 degrees 🌬❄️ in DC today, but that doesn’t stop advocates and Members of Congress from standing up to the cruel U.S. Department of Agriculture Final Rule to cut #SNAP benefits for more than 700,000 recipients. The rule affects the ability of states to waive current limits on SNAP benefits. ✅ CURRENT LAW allows able-bodied adults without dependents, or ABAWDs, to receive benefits for a maximum of three months during a three-year period, provided they are working or enrolled in an education or training program for a minimum of 80 hours a month. States have been able to waive the time limit as people enter and leave the workforce. The rule allowed the waiver to apply even to counties where unemployment dropped as low as 2.5%. ⚠️ WHAT WILL CHANGE: The NEW rule restricts the waiver to counties with a minimum unemployment rate of 6%. This is particularly bad, because SNAP was created to expand and adjust when economic downturns happen. This new rule will defeat that purpose by taking away states' ability to waive its residents' time limit during hard times. For more details, visit theCenter on Budget and Policy Priorities https://www.cbpp.org/press/statements/new-snap-rule-would-cost-many-of-nations-poorest-their-food-aid 🆘 It is utterly unacceptable for the richest country on earth to have 15 million food-insecure households. Hunger is NOT a resource problem, hunger IS a PRIORITY problem. Unfortunately, USDA has its priority WRONG. Speaker: Sister Simone Campbell- ED of Network Advocates, CHN Board of Directors member
💰We get it, taxes are confusing. So much so that sometimes even our leaders don’t understand them. Here’s a breakdown of marginal tax rates and why when Donald Trump and congressional Republicans cut the top marginal tax rate in the 2017 #GOPTaxScam, it was a giant tax cut for the rich and no one else. Tax March Americans for Tax Fairness
This week, CHN Executive Director Deborah Weinstein appeared on both TV and radio to discuss the Trump Administration’s latest effort to cut #SNAP benefits — this time, a rule that would take away benefits from as many as 688,000 Americans. Weinstein appeared on the nationally syndicated Leslie Marshall show — you can listen to the 30-minute recording here: https://www.spreaker.com/user/lesliemarshall/trump-tries-to-cut-3-7-million-americans And she appeared on a shorter segment on Fox News Digital Originals — watch the video below.
