Hi all,

Many protections of COVID relief from this spring have already expired or are about to expire by the end of this month - unemployment extensions, housing protections, additional hunger relief - that touch the many intersecting needs of our community. We would like to send a sign-on letter to our congressional delegates from Western PA and our Senators reminding them that urgent action is needed for comprehensive COVID relief.

We will also issue a press release about this letter, and send copies to local state assembly members, to encourage them to contact our congressional delegation about the urgency for action.

Please consider signing onto this letter by COB Friday, December 4th.
