$2000 Make It Monthly Event Series
Part of Income Movement's Make It Monthly Campaign
Event Series Dates: February 4th & 5th
Join us Feb 4th & 5th to continue the work of demanding our elected officials include $2000 Recurring Stimulus Checks in the next COVID stimulus package. Tell Congress they must #MakeItMonthly.
Three Ways to Participate: Join Us!
Feb 4th
In-Person Petition Delivery
When COVID hit, Stephanie Bonin, a small business owner, created a change.org petition calling on Congress to support families with monthly checks of $2,000. More than 2 million people have signed this petition. On Feb. 4th, Income Movement, Economic Security Project and partners will deliver these signatures in the form of a Past Due Invoice from constituents to key Senators. Join us for these socially distanced events!
Feb 4th
Social Media Petition Delivery
For those not living in one of the cities doing In-Person deliveries, join us online, on your favorite social media platform! People can print an invoice, add their info, snap a photo or video and post it with the hashtag #MakeItMonthly. Tag your Senators so they get your message! Together, we can make a show of force on Feb 4th!
