$3 Trillion HEROES Act promises more COVID-19 relief for consumers and businesses
Will the U.S. Senate act swiftly on the new legislative plan?
Introduced on May 12 by New York Congresswoman Nita Lowey, the HEROES Act had 11 co-sponsors representing the additional states of Arizona, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia and provides a broad assortment of new and renewed assistance targeted to essential workers, first responders, minority-owned and other small businesses, students, the homeless and others.
“The HEROES Act focuses on real people because consumers drive our economy and we can’t just leave American families to trickle-down help from businesses,” said Lauren Saunders, associate director of the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC).
“By prohibiting the government from incarcerating people for nonpayment of debts, restricting the use of money bail to detain poor people who have not been convicted of a crime, and incentivizing state and local governments to suspend imposition and collection of fines and fees during the crisis, the HEROES Act protects people from being imprisoned or trapped in the broken criminal justice system merely because they are unable to afford a debt or a fine.”
“The HEROES Act shows strong promise and addresses important needs of low-wealth families impacted by COVID-19, such as mortgage and forbearance relief, extended unemployment benefits, food assistance, and protections against harmful debt collection activities and negative credit reporting”, said Ashley Harrington, CRL’s Federal Advocacy Director and Senior Counsel.

Murders of our black sisters and brothers either at the hands of, or sanctioned by, the state are all too common.
In my home state Georgia, the epicenter of the South, the time is now, with our primary election on June 9.
Voter suppression is not new, particularly in times of crisis.
Voters across the state were turned away from casting their ballots.
They must invest in our communities and listen to black leaders to understand the structural racism and discrimination that is a cornerstone of our daily existence.
