Today, May 1st, we're pleased to welcome Congressman John Garamendi back to the show. We last spoke with him on April 3, as Congress was passing its first stimulus bill. On April 21, Congressman Garamendi introduced legislation called the UNITE Act (Undertaking National Initiatives to Tackle Epidemics). This bill would mobilize experienced existing organizations such as AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, and FEMA volunteers to support public health responders with COVID-19 contact tracing and testing. Link here for more information. This Tuesday May 5 at 3 pm Congressman Garamendi will be hosting a Telephone Town Hall meeting. The number to call in is (855) 962-1140 or you can stream the event via his Facebook page.
