BOSTON, MA – On September 2, 2021, Representative Mike Quigley (D-IL), the lead GYMS Act sponsor and champion in the House of Representatives, along with 46 other Democrats in the House, sent a letter to Speaker Pelosi urging her to include relief for gyms in the upcoming reconciliation bill. This letter will not only get the attention of the leadership it is directed to, it provides an opportunity to generate press coverage on must-read publications in D.C.

This letter is only the latest push by #GYMSAct supporters in the House and the Senate to provide financial support for gyms in reconciliation. Right now, lawmakers are writing the budget reconciliation bill, even though experts don’t expect the House and Senate to vote on the bill until late September. Which will be here before we know it!

We need to support our champions, like Representative Quigley and Senator Duckworth, who are fighting for us!
