Many faith-based nonprofits and their employees throughout the country, who perform extraordinary works of ministry for the least of these, are facing severe financial hardship during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, it is critical that you contact your Congressional Representative and Senator to support SBA regulatory and other guidance to ensure the inclusion of faith-based nonprofits in the loan program available to nonprofits under the CARES Act. Please take action! There is an easy form to fill out to contact Congress by clicking the following link:  https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit?promo_id=8425
