We can't wish away this pandemic. We can't accept the false choice that we either reopen or lose to the virus. No. We must protect the American people and the institutions and values that define our Nation with action. The HEROES Act provides us a path forward. We will save lives with testing, tracing, and treatment. We will protect our communities by supporting our teachers, police, and frontline workers. We will bring relief to families by providing them financial aid, food, rent relief, and healthcare. We will protect the sanctity of our democracy by honoring every American's vote.

Today, we vote for our heroes, for our future, and for the people.
