ATF research shows that the nation’s 630 billionaires saw their wealth grow by a breathtaking $434 billion in the first two months of the pandemic, while at the same time tens of millions of Americans were suffering. We cannot allow Mitch McConnell and other Senate Republicans to continue to pad the pockets of the rich while our towns and cities are struggling to provide basic services to the rest of us.
Thank you for taking action today to demand a pandemic response that puts the American people first!
