Community activists in Irvine demanding $2,000 monthly stimulus checks delivered a “past due” invoice on Feb. 4 to the office of Rep. Katie Porter (D-California).
Monica Lazo, California regional organizing director for the Economic Security Project, handed approximately 10,000 signed petitions to Cody Mendoza, a senior field Representative for Porter, calling for monthly payments to individuals struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was joined in the presentation by several University of California–Irvine (UC Irvine) students and a local business owner.
