How we can work together to address the COVID-19 pandemic

Here are more ways you can help:

Emergency election procedures

No one should have to choose between getting sick and participating in our democracy. To ensure that every eligible voter can safely cast their ballot amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. PIRG is calling on states to adopt emergency universal absentee voting. 

Open Safe

Public health experts agree, lifting social distancing orders too soon, or without the proper infrastructure in place could cost us thousands of lives, and prolong the impact of the pandemic. As states reopen, we're calling on Governors to follow the advice of public health experts, like former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb, and put in places a set of critical recommendations for how to safely reopen the state. 

Protect consumer credit

For many people, whether or not they can pay their bills or meet all of their financial obligations will be out of their control until after the COVID-19 crisis is over. Credit bureaus should stop all negative credit reporting about consumers until the coronavirus pandemic ends and consumers have made it back onto their feet.


Stop bad bailouts

Congress and the president must focus on addressing the urgent health crisis and meeting the immediate needs of Americans — not rushing through hastily drawn-up bailouts to industries that harm our health or are not essential to Americans’ daily lives right now.
