Take Action: Tell Congress to Save Franchise Small Businesses on Social Media!

This is our last chance. Congress is leaving for another recess and it is CRITICAL that they act now to save countless franchise small businesses and jobs. Our goal is to make a huge splash on social media in a coordinated fashion, attracting the attention of every member of Congress with our message: leadership must come together to pass a COVID-19 recovery package ASAP to help save the franchise industry.

Please tweet and share the following language and graphic, tagging your members of Congress on Twitter and Facebook. You can find the Twitter handles for your members of Congress here. Note: Tweet copy must remain under 280 characters. Language on Facebook can be longer.

Sample Copy for BUSINESS CLOSING

36,000+ franchise businesses will close in the next 6 months without relief. My business is one of them. @memberofCongress, as a key driver of [STATE]’s local economy, we need your support. Please pass a COVID-19 recovery package NOW and help our community. #ActNowSaveJobs

Sample Copy for POSSIBLE LAYOFFS

1.4 million franchise jobs have been lost already. Without relief, I will have to lay off members of my team too. @memberofCongress, we need your support TODAY. Negotiate and pass a COVID-19 recovery package NOW and help our community. #ActNowSaveJobs

Small businesses shouldn't be the victims of partisan politics. PLEASE share the above on your social media and fill out this form to urge your elected representatives to take action TODAY. America’s franchise small business owners and employees did their jobs in the midst of a global pandemic. Congress MUST do theirs.
