Call to Action Resources for Replenishing the RRF

Telephone Talking Points

Who can I speak to about XXXX's position on the restaurant revitalization fund?

I am calling about a very important issue, the Restaurant Revitalization Fund,
the fund created to help restaurants crushed by the pandemic over the last 17 months.
The fund ran out of money.

(State) received $________. And if the Fund is refilled (State) will receive a total of $__________
And that money goes right back into the economy of (State), and we need that right now!

It is not right to have passed this legislation, to roll out the program and then leave 177,300, or 67% of those who applied with no funding.

If the person says that XXXX has not made a decision, then say "Well, Why not?"
It has been 17 months, how much time can you need to decide about this?
What is the reason to not support restaurants?

This is not who we are as a country, we don't leave fellow Americans behind or out!

Restaurants employ 12.5 million Americans, 1 in 10 adults work in restaurants, and the restaurant industry is the largest employer of women and minorities in the country.

We cannot turn our backs on people we promised to help. This is about small business, the backbone of our American economy, and about helping our fellow Americans in communities, small towns, and cities across our great land.

If ever there was a time to step up, it is now.

Fall and winter are coming, and landlords are anxious.

This situation is that serious, please help me.

Restaurants, the second largest private sector employer in America, need your help.
Please do not let us down; it is so important to support your voters. I am counting on you.

If the person says I will pass the comments along, ask for a call back! If you do not get a call back, call again!
