Urge senators to extend unemployment benefits

2010 February 18

In November, thousands of Action Network members urged their senators to help millions of Americans dealing with economic hardship by extending unemployment benefits, and their voices were heard.

On Nov. 6, President Obama signed legislation to do just that, extending this crucial coverage for a limited time.  Unfortunately, that extension, along with an extension in COBRA insurance subsidies, is set to expire at the end of February.

Urge the Senate to act now to prevent leaving millions of American workers and their families without the crucial benefits they need to make ends meet.
