CALL TO ACTION!
Tell Congress to Act NOW to Save our Industry

Word is coming of a renewed push for relief and time is short to let member of Congress know we need their help. Please take a few minutes today to contact your congressperson and senators

Some points to share:

  • Nearly 40% of MN hospitality businesses indicate they are on the verge of collapse this fall and 2/3 indicate they need federal help now;
  • Communicate the importance of your business: number years in business, number of customers served, number of jobs created, economic impact (taxes paid, economic activity generated, etc.);
  • Ask leaders to support a small business relief plan now, before it’s too late. As we conveyed to the delegation, Hospitality Minnesota supports:
  • Additional Paycheck Protection Program
  • Restaurants Act ($120 billion relief fund)
  • Liability protection
  • Federal support on businesses interruption claims
  • Additional lending options
  • Expanded tax credits
  • Direct stimulus payments and targeted unemployment benefits

The American Hotel and Lodging Association and the National Restaurant Association also have national action campaigns that you may choose to participate in, as well.

Be an advocate for our industry. Get engaged and make your voice heard at this critical time.
