We support immediate passage of H.R. 367, with the addition of USPHS and NOAA. Though continued funding for the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force is provisioned through the U.S. Department of Defense, members of the above three federal uniformed services critical to defending our city and port remain unpaid, and their families are left to suffer the consequences in an unforgivingly expensive metropolitan area. While we oppose the shutdown generally, it is especially abhorrent that our city’s defenders have been forced to suffer. New York City last year was named a “Coast Guard City,” yet our Coasties are being asked to sacrifice greatly just to keep serving us.

While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.

  • Led a Letter
    March 26, 2020 Donald Trump President 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Trump: We write to urge the immediate approval of extended unemployment benefits passed in Public Law No.: 116-127, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, for the State of New York. New York State has over one-half of all COVID-19 cases in the United States. We must mobilize all resources possible in an expeditious manner to mitigate public health risk and economic decimation. Absent federal intervention, the earliest New York State would qualify for Extended Unemployment Benefits is April, allowing benefits to be distributed in May to individuals who qualify. However, the situation in New York State grows increasingly urgent. On Thursday, March 19th, the New York State Labor Department registered more than 206,000 website logins and 159,000 phone calls by 12:00PM, a 400% increase over the average. Some parts of New York reported a 1000% increase in claims. The next day, New York State was declared a major disaster area. According to Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House Coronavirus Task Force Coordinator, the practice of social distancing is especially important in New York, as individuals in the New York City are testing positive for COVID-19 at a rate of 28%, compared to 8% nationwide. Every sector of New York’s economy is impacted by COVID-19 for the foreseeable future, including food, transportation, arts, entertainment, retail, education, real estate, and non-profit. While the public health and economic environment created by COVID-19 is unprecedented in modern history, it is certain that thousands of New Yorkers will rely on unemployment assistance.
