Pres­i­dent Trump’s Exec­u­tive Order has turned out to be a hoax and is unlike­ly to pro­vide any replace­ment for the $600 Pan­dem­ic Unem­ploy­ment Compensation.

He is only offer­ing $300 per week in a pro­gram that will last only about 5 weeks. It will require a whole new pro­gram for the state to cre­ate to pay out the ben­e­fits and that could take many weeks to be imple­ment­ed. He is now refus­ing to nego­ti­ate with the Democ­rats for a real replace­ment for the Pan­dem­ic Unem­ploy­ment Com­pen­sa­tion pro­gram which end­ed on July 25, 2020. 

Fam­i­lies and the US econ­o­my need these pay­ments to con­tin­ue. Join us on August 20 to demand con­tin­ued aid dur­ing this eco­nom­ic cri­sis in the country.

The pan­dem­ic has­n’t end­ed, so why did our benefits?

Host­ed by the Unem­ploy­ment Orga­niz­ing Com­mit­tee and the Philadel­phia Unem­ploy­ment Project
