This is a difficult time for us all. Businesses are shutting down, people's hours are getting cut, and some are losing their jobs. Every day, more and more people are getting infected, and becoming ill. Where is Marsha Blackburn during all of this? She is pushing legislation through to blame China. That's right, not helping her fellow neighbors that are struggling, but by focusing her efforts on an otherwise pointless agenda. We need someone now, that focuses their efforts on stopping the spread of this virus, and helping her fellow residents. We need someone in office that will take action now, Marsha is not that person.

While our state representatives are making an effort to combat COVID-19, they are not doing nearly enough to help support its residences or financially compensate "essential" workers. Governor Bill Lee, we have a list of demands that will help support the people people of Tennessee.

Gov. Bill Lee:

Mandatory hazard pay for union and non-union “essential” workers Expanded healthcare to include those undocumented to get tested and treated and not rely on private insurance Halt rent and mortgage payments Expand COVID-19 testing to both city and rural counties in TN Make PTO for TN workers either laid off or sick mandatory and create a program to cover this or help companies cover this for their employees Find temporary housing for those who don’t have housing and can’t afford it Halt the cutting off of utilities due to lack of payment statewide. Prevent companies from being able to decrease pay to those receiving checks from the stimulus package Mandating landlords verify that their tenants are either receiving the stimulus package or receiving unemployment (or both) before accepting rent. For those that cannot make rent, I think it is reasonable to provide proof- letters of termination, paystubs, etc.



So please, sign our petition so that Tennessee residents can get the help they need during this struggling time, and get a senator in office that will work for the people. #whereismarsha
