Black Caucus meets with VP Harris to discuss stimulus bill
On Wednesday night, members of the Black Caucus of Congress met with Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss the US rescue plan, which The White House’s hopes will be accepted by the House of Representatives on Friday. During the pandemic, much of the damage is felt worst by individuals, families and businesses with minority backgrounds.
Announcing its stimulus bill in January, he said of his proposal for businesses: ‘Our priority is to own small businesses in black, Latino, Asian and Native American businesses, owned by women, and finally equal access to resources needed to reopen and rebuild. ”
It is hoped that the $ 1400 stimulus checks will provide the immediate assistance needed to support families who lost income during the pandemic. As Representative Williams notes, the black community was affected disproportionately by covid-19.
