As leaders and clergy of The Metropolitan Organization, we call on you to pass a stimulus package that: 

• Supports the full $600 per week supplemental unemployment insurance;
• Provides $100 Billion in Rent Assistance so families can pay their rent;
• Makes a stimulus payment to all tax payers using a social security number or ITIN ($1,200) and their children ($500);
• Allocates $175 billion so schools have the funds needed to effectively and safely provide both virtual and in-person classes that keep our children and teachers safe;
• Increases the share of Medicaid paid by the federal government to free up state revenues for other essential services; and requires that all states maintain their current Medicaid services.

We implore you to act now and boldly to ensure families have a roof over their head, food on their tables, and access to healthcare. The best way to keep the economy afloat and save lives is to support our families.

Signed,

Leaders and Clergy of The Metropolitan Organization
