I want more financial support for the self-employed and small businesses
Self employed workers are getting left behind in the support. Some of us don't make enough and are working weekly to provide for our families. The idea of a percentage on profit will leave a lot of us struggling. You have to help us survive if you will rely on us to kick start the economy again
I want you to do it because you have the powers to. I myself along with a lot of other self employed people have jumped in to support communities get set up for this crisis with food banks and support. We now need you to support us. We need our government to stand by us to help keep us going. We can work and will be the first to stand when we are asked. Financial support won't only keep us going but it will let us work along with any support that's needed within communities.
