Support for NY Freelancers + Entrepreneurs in the Time of Coronavirus
The struggle is real — for our health, of course, but also our bank accounts.
Millions will be unemployed, and businesses are shutting down — a recession is looming. We don’t know how deep we’ll go, but we do know the abruptness of the decline is unprecedented.
We all know that the backbone of our economy are small businesses — but also freelancers (certainly the backbone of BEAHIVE’s membership; the remainder are remote workers).
But much of the aid being bandied about in Washington and Albany will directly support employees and corporations, not small businesses and freelancers.
"I am a firm believer in the people.
If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts." — Abraham Lincoln
