ACTION ALERT: Small Business and COVID-19
We need to let Congress know they are NOT DONE. Tell Congress: Small businesses need more money and a better program. Take these action steps before our independent businesses collapse.

Please join together using #SmallBizNeedsNOW to elevate your stories -- especially those of small business left out of the PPP and EIDL programs -- every morning this week.
