National League of Cities Launches #CitiesAreEssential

The National League of Cities, the voice of the over 19,000 cities, towns and villages in the United States, has launched a campaign to secure economic relief for the communities on the frontline of America’s response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The Cities Are Essential campaign calls for federal aid and economic relief from the COVID-19 pandemic over the next two years to support the communities who support America’s people.

“Cities are essential – to the fabric of this nation, to the pandemic response effort, and to the 200 million residents we provide essential services for,” said Clarence Anthony, CEO and Executive Director, National League of Cities. “The federal government must act now. It’s been almost two months since the first bill providing Coronavirus relief was passed by Congress, and most communities haven’t received a cent in aid.”

The National League of Cities has provided resources for cities and towns to get involved and share this message. Their website includes tools and resources, like infographics and articles. To find resources and get additional information, visit covid19.nlc.org
