ACTION ITEMS
1. Make sure to read and share the links in the Links section below – these are really important articles, videos, and studies that combat the narratives being pushed by the media. It might be the only way someone sees an opposing point of view, so please take the time to share them!
2. If you have a Governor or Mayor who is dragging their feet on reopening, call them to urge them to reopen.
3. While the payroll tax holiday has been pushed out of the news by the other current events, it is still something that this coalition is pushing hard for because it is very important. Please call both of your Senators and your Representative and urge them to pass the payroll tax holiday.
