Most cases of COVID19 have arrived here by someone traveling. For the safety of the residents, we ask that all people arriving be required to be quarantined for 14 days.

Over the last few years, airlines in the United States have made huge windfall profits by packing planes like sardines and adding fees to checked bags and other amenities that used to to be included in the prices of a ticket. Then, rather than saving for a rainy day, Delta, American, Southwest and United collectively spent about $39 billion over the last five years buying back shares. These share buybacks benefitted wealthy shareholders, not workers, and now that times are suddenly tough these same airlines are asking for free money from the government to bail them out so that their shareholders don't lose money. Meanwhile, workers' paychecks are at risk. Government action during a time of crisis should focus on actions that benefit our country broadly, rather than a special interest group. We need to stand up and make our voices heard when any industry tries to use a time of crisis to use public funds for their own benefit.

The Dow Jones dropped last week and this week reported its worst weeks since the 2008 financial crisis. The plummeting stock is the tip of the iceberg. Small businesses that rely on overseas production are suffering. American exporters in agriculture and forestry are losing access to valuable overseas markets. Tourism will continue to decline sharply. Analysts now project that American companies will generate zero earning growth in 2020 because of COVID-19. If the virus reaches global pandemic levels, experts predict that it could lead to a recession in the US and across the globe. The economic impact will be felt in the next upcoming months and it is necessary to not only limit the spread of the virus but also get ahead of its economic impact to limit the financial fallout it will have on millions of Americans. Elizabeth Warren has already crafted a well laid out plan for canceling student loan debt. The Department of Education already has the broad legal authority to cancel student debt in which it does not require Congress to act. However, we the American people would appreciate if our leaders and representatives prioritize our financial health and futures by taking a vote towards supporting the relief of student loan debt. Approximately 42 million Americans can immediately benefit from the cancellation of student loan debt and immediately empower the American economy. In addition to the cancellation of student loans, please ensure it will not result in any additional tax liability for borrowers. Again, please refer to Senator Elizabeth Warren's well-researched and well laid out student loan debt cancellation plan. Tell your Senator and tell your Congressman or Congresswoman to publicly support a stimulus proposal that takes student loan debt cancellation without tax liabilities for the borrowers into consideration.

During the COVID-19 crisis, we all have a responsibility towards our communities to keep ourselves healthy and avoid situations that can spread the virus. As of March 17th, the state of Florida will close all retail stores, bars, nightclubs and restaurants in order to help us uphold that responsibility, and most other businesses are asking teams to work remotely, or to pause work altogether. While this is a step in the right direction regarding public health, the effects of these sweeping business closures affect the livelihood of thousands of Florida residents that rely on their paychecks to make ends meet. Without a plan in place to supplement the income of these workers and small business owners, and with no guarantee that unemployment benefits will provide the relief people need in this difficult time, we demand a moratorium on rent collection NOW. Hard-working people are going to suffer at the expense of the greater good. While we don't deny the importance of instituting these closures, we would be ashamed and heartbroken to watch our government let people who are living paycheck to paycheck face evictions, blows to their credit, homelessness, or be backed into a corner financially through no fault of their own. As a full-time small business owner in the retail industry, my sole source of income has been 100% compromised as retail businesses left and right are experiencing disruptions to supply chains, sudden halts in customer traffic, and steep declines in revenue. We need the Miami-Ft Lauderdale Metroplex and the state of Florida as a whole, to put a moratorium on rent NOW in order to preserve the livelihood of so many hardworking people in the retail, restaurant, and entertainments industries, and in other affected industries during this time of crisis.

Governor Jay Inslee: COVID-19 (also known as coronavirus) has been classified as a global pandemic. Washington State already has 905 confirmed cases, including 48 deaths statewide. State and federal officials are encouraging people who feel sick to stay home, but many workers already struggle to make rent or mortgage payments. The choice to skip work for the sake of community health could leave them and their families unsheltered. In order to protect the health and housing security of our community, we, the undersigned, call on Governor Inslee to act now so workers won't have to make that choice. Specifically, we call for a suspension of all rent, mortgage, and utility payments for 2 full months to allow people to do what they need to in order to take care of themselves, their loved ones, and the community. The legacy of every public official currently serving will be determined in the next few months. It's time to act now, and choose the right side of history. Choose the people.

This will keep the economy going. Landlords will be paid. Gas will be purchased. Banks will be paid. Stocks will still be bought and traded. Goods and services will still be purchased. The American workers will not be in financial ruin, which would lead to economic disaster and chaos for the entire nation.

As a group, the working class of the United States have been financially crippled by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. And we all know it's going to get worse. Though the federal government may eventually provide relief, they have been regularly dropping the ball on not only mitigating the damage of this situation but on admitting there IS a situation. The immediate conservation of our limited financial resources is necessary for our own and our family's health and well-being. Banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class, seek their own relief; the federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. We must protect our limited cash flow immediately.

During the COVID-19 crisis, we all have a responsibility towards our communities to keep ourselves healthy and avoid situations that can spread the virus. As of March 17th, the state of Florida will close all bars, nightclubs and restaurants in order to help us uphold that responsibility. While this is a step in the right direction regarding public health, the effects of these sweeping business closures affect the livelihood of thousands of Florida residents that rely on front-of-house restaurant, club/bar work or tips to make ends meet. Without a plan in place to supplement the income of these workers, and with no guarantee that unemployment benefits will provide the relief people need in a city with one of the highest costs of living in the country, we demand a moratorium on rent collection NOW. Hard-working people are going to suffer at the expense of the greater good. While we don't deny the importance of instituting these closures, we would be ashamed and heartbroken to watch our government let people who rely on restaurant work, work in the entertainment industry (clubs/bars) face evictions, blows to their credit, or be backed into a corner financially through no fault of their own. As a full-time waitress in the nightlife industry this is my sole source of income. For so many of my friends and family in the industry, as well, tips are their MAIN source of income. Simply providing people with an unemployment payment or temporary paid leave at minimum wage would not be enough to cover their typical expenses. We need Miami and Florida as a whole to put a moratorium on rent NOW in order to preserve the livelihood of so many hardworking people both in the restaurant industry and in other affected industries during this time of crisis.

As a group, the working class of Citrus Heights have been financially crippled by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. Though the federal or state government may eventually provide relief, the immediate conservation of our limited financial resources is necessary for our own and our family's health and well-being. Health and well-being is critical to maintain in order to fight the spread of COVID-19. If approved, the financial forgiveness may prevent added incidences of severe poverty or homelessness, conditions which are known to add to the spread COVID-19. Rentors, Lessors, banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class seek their own relief; the state and federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. We must protect our limited cash flow immediately. Protect hard working families, stave the spread of COVID-19.

We cannot allow those in our community who have to work in this situation to suffer needlessly - perhaps they don't have anyone to watch their kids while school is closed, or they have to miss shifts to care for a loved one. In order to protect the health and housing security of our community, we call on Governor Cuomo and the NYS Legislature to act now so workers won't have to make that choice. Specifically, we call for a suspension of all rent, mortgage, and utility payments for at least one month to allow people to do what they need to in order to take care of themselves, their loved ones, and the community. Landlords also need to be allowed to take advantage of this, so that they can extend this to their renters. Choose to support our communities!

This is not a Democratic or Republican issue, this is an American issue and one that could define our country in the coming weeks, months and years ahead. We need our leaders to act and act NOW!!
