Here is What’s in It

The COVID-19 vaccine will be provided at an accelerated pace. We've ordered enough doses of the vaccine for every American adult by May 31, and now we have the resources to get those shots in arms nationwide.

Stimulus checks will start hitting bank accounts in days. You can learn more about who qualifies for how much here. Many families will get $1,400 for each adult and each dependent — and, unlike past checks, older dependents like college students and disabled adults will qualify. This will also help businesses because millions will be able to pay their bills and shop again.

Provides tens of billions of dollars in rental and homeowners assistance that will benefit lower-income renters and homeowners to help keep roofs over their heads.
 

There’s a huge boost to child tax credits, too. Those payments won’t arrive until at least this summer, but you can learn more about what’s coming now.
This, combined with the stimulus, will lift millions out of poverty.

Makes available $39 billion to reduce child care costs and increase the pay and benefits of child care workers.

Health insurance will be cheaper on the marketplace, including for people who don't usually get subsidies. That's big for Virginia, where premiums are sky-high.

Extended unemployment benefits will continue through August and the IRS is waiving taxes on some payments last year. As usual, there’s a lot of fine print, so here are some common questions.

Addresses the growing hunger crisis facing 29 million Americans -- and as many as 12 million children -- by asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expand and extend nutrition assistance programs to make sure no kid goes hungry.

There is billions of dollars of funding to help restaurants and other small businesses reopen and pay employees.

There is billions of dollars of funding to help local and state governments pay for essential services like fire and police.

There is billions of dollars of funding to provide the resources necessary to safely reopen schools

The bottom line is: We’re delivering real, tangible results for you and your family.

Fauquier County Democratic Committee stands in solidarity with our communities of color. We stand with millions of people across the country who are rightfully outraged by the killing of unarmed black people.

If we are complacent, if we are silent, we are complicit in perpetuating the cycle of institutional racism and violence for those most marginalized in our communities.

None of us can turn away, we must all speak out and hold each other accountable.

The death of George Floyd, Ahmad Arbery and Breonna Taylor are not isolated incidents. They are the result of systematic racism that has existed for generations.

These murders and the disproportionate deaths to COVID-19 in the black community are just the latest evidence that we live in an unequal world.

As Catherine Rampell of the Washington Post says, “There are two Americas. There’s the America where people can storm a statehouse with long guns, threaten elected officials, scream into the faces of cops and can still walk away unscathed. And then there is the America where citizens can march peacefully, or stand watching from their own front porches, and get sprayed with rubber bullets and paint projectiles. All while cameras roll.”

The cycle continues. More people die. More lives are destroyed. There are protests and promises to do better and the pattern repeats. Here in Fauquier County, some of our friends and neighbors live in fear and dare not venture out on public streets at night. How do we break this cycle? It starts with each of us. We at the Fauquier County Democratic Committee are committed to electing officials who understand this reality, will represent and uphold the rights of all people and will do the difficult work to dismantle the system of race-based oppression.

We stand for justice. We know what it looks like. We stand together!
