HEALS and HEROES Act

As Congress comes to the end of their negotiations in the latest stimulus package, it is imperative they hear from the business community on key provisions the Senate and House are considering.

We ask that you send an email to your representative and ask them to support the following:

1. SUPPORT the inclusion of $500 billion in direct and flexible funding in the next stimulus package for all cities nationwide to support critical local services.

2. SUPPORT the House HEROES Act inclusion of ALL 501(c)’s into the PPP program. We OPPOSE the Senates HEALS Act inclusion of only 501(c)6’s (with additional limitations) because it would exclude many community organizations that provide critical services to their regions.

3. SUPPORT the Senate HEALS Act inclusion of business liability protections against COVID-19 related exposures, unless in cases of gross negligence. Now, more than ever, businesses who are in compliance need support in order to remain open and continue to provide jobs and support for their communities.

Once you send an email - CALL your representative to let them know your thoughts. Your voice matters!
