Dear members,
The House Of Representatives will be drafting the fourth COVID relief bill over the next several days. Once it is drafted, it is harder to make changes.
Please call or write Representative Huffman TODAY and ask that he personally advocate for a draft bill with a "People’s Agenda" - one that includes financial aid, public health protections, and the widest access to voting via the USPS. We also are asking that he vote NO on any bill that does not contain these provisions.
Indivisible chapters across the country are contacting their representatives with the same request.

The Trump administration’s response to the COVID-19 epidemic hasn’t done nearly enough to help working people, or to protect our right to vote. Together with Indivisible Marin, I am asking that you personally advocate for a draft bill with a "People’s Agenda" - one that includes financial aid, public health protections, and the widest access to voting via the USPS.

Dear Representative Huffman,
The Trump administration’s response to the COVID-19 epidemic hasn’t done nearly enough to help working people, or to protect our right to vote. Together with Indivisible Marin, I am asking that you personally advocate for a draft bill with a "People’s Agenda" - one that includes financial aid, public health protections, and the widest access to voting via the USPS. I also ask that you vote NO on any bill that does not contain these provisions.
We are especially concerned that Congress protects our right to vote by including $4 billion in the next relief bill to allow all Americans to vote-by-mail, as well as provide safety at the polls. The bill should include both oversight of spending and requirements that money be spent to enable voting access and accurate vote counting. We also ask that Congress provide funding to secure The United States Postal Service.
Democrats must ensure the next package provides relief to every person in this country, regardless of tax or immigration status, age or disability, and they must vote against it if it does not.
Action on these issues is already late. Please speak out and use all of your influence to have Congress allocate that $4 billion toward ensuring safe and secure elections in the next COVID-19 relief bill.
Thank you for representing our district so well in Washington!
