This petition is nearing 2.9 million signatures. Stephanie Bonin, from Denver, initiated this petition last year. It continues to to gain additional signatures.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Newsweek:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A petition for monthly stimulus checks of $2,000 has drawn nearly 2.9 million supporters, as the highly virulent Delta variant continues to drive up COVID-19 cases, deaths and hospitalizations across the U.S. But while online petitions for cash payments continue to gain traction, that support isn&#8217;t translating to pressure on members of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The Change.org petition, launched by Denver restaurant owner Stephanie Bonin last year, calls for the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate to deliver legislation that would provide a &#8220;$2,000 payment for adults and a $1,000 payment for kids immediately, and continuing regular checks for the duration of the crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The petition has gained more than 2,887,000 signatures as of Saturday, with about 100,000 new signatures in the past month. It will become one of Change.org&#8217;s most signed petitions if it reaches its goal of 3 million signatures.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democrat, introduced legislation on July 30 that would establish a federal universal basic income system. Under the proposed five-year pilot program, U.S. adults earning under $75,000 would receive $1,200 per month and $600 for each dependent child.<\/p>\n<p>But Omar&#8217;s guaranteed income bill only drew support from four legislators&#8211;Democratic Representatives Cori Bush of Missouri, Dwight Evans of Pennsylvania, Jamaal Bowman of New York and Pramila Jayapal of Washington.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Newsweek continues on to describe the Democrat effort to push for stimulus checks.
