Join us on twitter for an all-digital rally this Thursday at 3 p.m. ET.
Dear MoveOn member,
My rent is due on Friday.
My sister's car payment is due next week.
My parents' mortgage is due on the 15th.
So many of us are struggling to make ends meet as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
But for all of the trillions of dollars in "stimulus" doled out by the Trump administration, all that's gotten in the hands of working people is a one-time $1,200 payment (which too many of us aren't eligible for or haven't received yet).
$1,200 is not relief for the working class, despite what Trump's treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, says. And as we struggle, corporations and billionaires are getting a disproportionate share of the relief packages. Who do they think they're fooling?
We need #RealReliefNow, and we're taking all of our demands to the platform-in-chief: Twitter.
Join us on Thursday from 3-5 p.m. ET for a first-of-its-kind MoveOn Twitter rally to demand #RealReliefNow. Text the word "TWEET" to 668366 to join thousands of activists who are taking mass protest online.
Right now, Congress is considering whether to pursue a next stimulus and at what level, and Trump is already laying out an extremely damaging vision of what he would consider. We can't wait another day.
We have to use the tools we have to raise our voices at this moment, demand Congress act, and make clear that we can't wait for relief. With thousands of people taking action online at the same time, we can make our rally as loud on Twitter as it would be in the streets of NYC, Omaha, D.C., Durham, Boston, Santa Fe, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Here's how it'll work:
If you sign up to be part of our Twitter rally, you will receive a series of SMS messages starting at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday. Each message will include a question and a link to easily tweet your own answer using the #RealReliefNow hashtag.
You will be one of thousands of digital participants sharing your story in tweet-sized snippets, and you can also add photos and videos to your tweet to get your story across.
If you're in a big city and missing energetic rallies with thousands of people, or in a smaller city and missing having a shared experience with your neighbors, this is the action for you.
And, as we all share our stories, listen to one another, comment on each other's words and retweet, we'll create momentum around #RealReliefNow that our elected officials will not be able to ignore. Right now is the critical time to raise our voices as Republicans in Congress resist additional relief efforts and Democrats determine the scale of the stimulus they will propose. These decisions are happening within days—while many of us wrestle with impending rent, mortgage, and other payments.
Join this action by texting TWEET to 668366. This action depends on all of us acting together, at the same time, with the same hashtag, which is why we'll reach out through texts to make this action work.
It's time to take action together again.
Thanks for all you do.
