It's time to shut down, start over and do it right

America is on a path to reach 200,000 COVID-19 deaths by Nov. 1. Each one of those 200,000 is someone's family member or dear friend.
 

There's been so much death already; why are we continuing to insist on "reopening our economy" when we know that will directly result in further outbreaks?

It's clear that the only way we can hope to contain this virus is for our country to shut back down in order to mitigate the effects of the devastating new outbreaks that have resulted from reopening. We also need more testing, more tracing, and more PPE for our frontline workers.

For a fair and safe election we need vote-by-mail

COVID-19 has turned mass gatherings into a serious public health risk. And yet, this April, Wisconsin went ahead with in-person voting in its primary elections -- forcing voters to choose between their health and their ballot.

We should be able to participate in our democracy without risking our health. Tell your governor to enact universal vote-by-mail during the COVID-19 crisis.

Come November, this pandemic could still pose a serious threat to public safety.

Enacting universal vote-by-mail is the best way to ensure everyone’s voice is heard, while keeping us all safe. But planning

Help us stop predatory payday loans

It happens: you hit a rough patch, bills pile up, and all of a sudden you can’t make your car payment on time. You should have access to credit that can help you weather the storm.

We should be giving Americans down on their luck a chance to get back on their feet, not turning their hardship into a long-term crisis.

Tell Amazon: Stop price gouging during the COVID-19 crisis

As the novel coronavirus spreads, shoppers have been reporting through-the-roof prices on Amazon for supplies they need to stay safe and healthy. One vendor was selling a four-pack of Purell hand sanitizer for $159; another, a two-pack of Lysol wipes for $70.

These price spikes are nothing short of unfair, opportunistic price gouging that’s putting people at risk.

We need to make sure people aren’t getting ripped off while shopping for supplies they need in a crisis. Tell Amazon: Put rules in place that prevent price gouging during emergencies like this one.

In many states, this kind of

We can stop identity theft -- by making credit report freezes the default option

Imagine this scenario: You hear about a big data breach at a major credit bureau on the news. Millions of people have had their financial data compromised.

The next thing you know, someone is opening lines of credit in your name and you’re on the hook for a big purchase you didn’t make. You’ve just had your identity stolen.

If your credit reports had been frozen, the identity thief wouldn’t have been able to do much with your information.
