Members,
I cannot comprehend a more urgent action call. We are imploring every city, borough, town and township to contact their respective member of Congress, Senator Toomey and Senator Casey and ask for their support of HR 6800 – The Heroes Act – which provides federal assistance to all local governments. There will be no recovery in the country or commonwealth if local governments do not recover. Please take action now via the National League of Cities Campaign and make your voice heard.
