Help Pass a Second Economic Stimulus Package

Times are tough - there’s no question. Families are hurting more and more. Americans everywhere are feeling financial pressure from all directions. Perhaps your family is among them. If not, you probably know families that are.

What can you do? First, contact your representative. Urge her or him to pass a second economic stimulus package--one that targets relief to vulnerable families. Specifically, this package should include assistance for nutrition, unemployment insurance, home energy assistance, and aid to states for Medicaid and other programs that serve vulnerable people.

Second, share your stories. By writing and calling your elected officials and telling them what you are experiencing or witnessing in your community, you press them to address the reality at home and to take action soon to help our economically struggling communities.

Our biblical mandate is clear. In Matthew, Jesus tells us, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” (Matt. 25:40)

As Christians we are called to hold those in power accountable to the common good. By doing nothing our government is letting families fall through the cracks. We must speak out. We must call on Congress to act now on behalf of our communities.
