Teachers didn't give up when COVID made their jobs harder — they found solutions for the good of the students and communities they serve. Now, after one failed vote, the US Senate may give up and go home without passing a COVID relief bill, even though tens of thousands of Mainers are struggling because of the pandemic recession.

We need Senator Collins and the rest of the Senate to work just as hard for us as teachers do, and pass a COVID relief bill to put Maine on the road to recovery. Learn more at fundmainesrecovery.com.
