Why is this important?
Many senators do not want to extend the FPUC Unemployment Benefit scheme beyond July 31st because they feel it deters people from going back to work. Most performers, musicians, actors and technicians do not have the option to go back to work as the current crisis has shut down the entertainment industry. We would like the US Senate to consider an extension of the scheme or an adjustment that will take the special needs of the entertainment industry into consideration.
