Address the spike in unemployment through a Federal Jobs Guarantee including expanding AmeriCorps and providing Emergency Wage Support to save small businesses and keep people on the payroll. Support fundamental clean water laws, oppose other administrative attacks on water rules and safeguards, and secure federal funding for water infrastructure. Support the Common Sense Housing Investment Act, increasing funding for housing programs through reforms to the mortgage interest tax deduction.
