@warmfourloko Everyone needs to call their reps and senators to ask that this get addressed in the next bill! We have to make noise if we want a chance of getting this fixed! You can use my script if you’d like
@carriepianki @twrawson@RepHaleyStevens Got it. Am going to put this with my official office so we can start addressing for next round. Thanks for chiming in here - you are welcome to fill out an impact story on my official website: Stevens dot house dot gov (ethics rules preclude me from linking)
Thank you Caroline!
I’m sick to my stomach. Congress just excluded one of the poorest demographics from the largest economic stimulus package in the history of the world. Are you a college student whose parents still claim you as a dependent? Well you get absolutely nothing from the stimulus bill.
Boomers are replying and saying “YoU dOnT DesErVe MoNEY BeCAusE yOU doNT woRK” like bro are you that out of touch?!? College students are working 1-2 jobs to have money to survive on all while taking classes/internships. It’s like they’re unaware tuition & rent aren’t $50 anymore
@angelpelsia I got your DM but it won’t let me reply for some reason. You can definitely use the script! I would send it over in text form so you could copy it but again it won’t let me reply to you 🤷♀️
@NimeshPatel101@warmfourloko Don’t disagree with you but I still think it’s something we can do right now that only takes a couple minutes. I don’t see enough people getting on board with a general strike until later down the road, if ever.
@mjjordan1798@warmfourloko Not sure this will change things for me since I was considered a dependent for 2019 since I just graduated this December, but other people may benefit from it. Either way, this bill is still leaving out a huge group of people in financial crisis.
If you have a car loan and have been affected economically by coronavirus, call your bank or creditor and ask to get a deferment! Make sure you specifically mention coronavirus. I was able to get mine deferred for 3 months with no extra interest.
Young adults who can be claimed as dependents (pretty much all college students), will not be getting a stimulus check as the bill stands! Please call your Representative and have them fix this (you can use my script). Most of us lost our jobs and need this for basic necessities.
Still call your congresspeople like I’ve been saying but sign this petition too:
STIMULUS CHECK FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/GfUClZea8H via @Change
Sorry if I’m spamming anyone’s feed about this college student stimulus bill thing, but me and so many of my friends really need this! So yeah, please call your reps even if you aren’t directly impacted. I’m trying my best to get as many people to call as possible.
@oliviav__ Call your reps and senators and tell them you need this addressed in the next bill! The only way this will change is if enough of us make noise
@angelalocke_ Please call your reps and senators to ask that this get addressed in the next bill and tell your friends to do the same! We gotta get LOUD!!
