The Democrat majority House of Representatives passed a massive, $3 trillion coronavirus relief stimulus package known as the HEROES Act roughly along party lines on Friday night despite progressive concerns over the bill’s provisions.
“The truth is that while a significant step in the right direction, the bill does not go far enough to provide urgently needed economic relief to the millions of people who lost their income and whose families are now standing in food lines,” Ana Maria Archila, co-executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy, said in a statement Friday. “We must fight for legislation that upholds their dignity and protects their lives.”
