Today, Tuesday, January 26, Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, State Rep. Beth Liston (D-OH), State Rep. Carla Cunningham (D-NC), along with health care advocates and frontline medical professionals will join Protect Our Care North Carolina and Protect Our Care Ohio for press calls to discuss how President Biden’s American Rescue Plan will provide desperately needed relief to North Carolinians and Ohioans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and urge Congress to take immediate action to pass the plan.
A crisis of this magnitude requires a robust, comprehensive response that will both alleviate the short-term suffering of people across the United States and work towards long-term investments in America’s health and economy. The American Rescue Plan will deliver much-needed relief to families, provide support for struggling state and local governments, jumpstart a nationwide vaccination program, and rebuild our communities. As the pandemic stretches into 2021, North Carolinians and Ohioans remain desperate for federal relief, and are urging swift action in Congress.
