It's unacceptable that Republicans in the Senateare only just now coming to the table, afterdraggingtheir feet for solong. Millions of people continue to faceareal crisis. Without swift action from Congress, 19 million people risk being kicked out of their homes as eviction protections expire on December 31. An estimated 12 million people will lose their extended unemployment benefits on December 26. Congress mustsupportindividuals and small businesses not large corporate interests as quickly and efficiently as possible. Even while the Senate is working to have the smallest possible relief package, we continue to urge broader consideration. We keep gaining nationwide traction on myRESTAURANTS Actto provide cash grants to small, neighborhood restaurants, bars,and cafestohelpmore than 11 million restaurant employees and preserve the vitalityof our communities. Cash grants to rescue independent live entertainment venues in Oregon and across the country that need help making it through the pandemic. While the need for rapid relief is urgent, we are also laying the foundation for what the Biden administration would request for another package when they are in charge.The scaled-down agreement with the Senate is not the last word, it's just the next step. We will continue to advocate for relief packages that provide a strong safety net for all those who are struggling. As a reminder, my staff and I are here to help you.
