AHLA Convenes Coalition of 225 Organizations to Demand COVID Relief |
|
Acting under immense pressure, lawmakers remain on standby today as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Secretary Steve Mnuchin met to negotiate on the House Democrats’ $2.2 trillion relief bill. Speaker Pelosi has since announced that the House will proceed with a vote to formalize this bill as they await a Republican response. Mnuchin is expected to offer a counter proposal of around $1.5 trillion.
Led by AHLA, the COVID RELIEF NOW Coalition launched yesterday with a letter to Congress demanding the passage of additional COVID relief legislation before they recess for the elections. The letter, signed by over 225 public and private sector organizations, represents small & large businesses, state & local governments across the country. Our message is clear: now is the time to act and Congress must stop political fighting and help save millions of jobs and thousands of businesses.
This week is pivotal for COVID relief legislation and we must do everything we can to make sure our voice is heard. The hotel industry could lose over 3.7 million jobs if nothing is done. Congress can prevent this by working together for a solution. Write, call, and tweet your elected officials and tell them that the hotel industry’s needs must be included in any final bill.
