“This pandemic's tentacles have infiltrated every facet of our communities' lives. The brilliance of this rescue package is that it understands those complexities and addresses those many needs. For example, since the pandemic began, we have seen increased reports of abuse of women and children, so this bill helps fund shelters and refuge.

Let's pass this bill, save lives, save livelihoods, save communities.”
