  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

This study looks at a unique defense of same- sex couples as parents, from the children currently being raised by them. Including three prominent texts and seventeen different voices, an analysis was completed to understand what defense strategies children use as advocates for their parents’ right to marriage and to be a family. The method of study included completing a genre criticism through close textual analysis of the texts. In particular, the genre of apologia was studied.

We applaud President Biden and Congress for passing COVID relief, including desperately needed state and local government funding and expanded vaccinations. The American Rescue Plan was a vital first step but as state and local leaders we know the everyday reality facing our communities. There is still much more to be done to deliver the recovery our communities need and deserve, while tackling the interconnected crises of climate change, economic inequality, and racial injustice. The country needs a large-scale jobs and recovery package to put millions back to work. We can make transformative investments in sustainable infrastructure and buildings, clean energy, and clean manufacturing to reduce pollution, address environmental injustice, and prepare for the threats of climate change. Clean energy is the fastest-growing industry in America. It can revitalize domestic manufacturing and expand high-quality union jobs to help rebuild the middle class.
