    •    Paid emergency leave with both 14 days of paid sick leave and up to three months of paid family and medical leave. 
    •    Enhanced Unemployment Insurance 
    •    Strengthened food security initiatives, including SNAP, student meals, seniors’ nutrition, and food banks.
    •    Increased federal funds for Medicaid to help states deal with increased costs. 

    Contact your Senators and urge them to act quickly in offering aid to those at risk of losing income, health care, or food security.
