John, I have
exciting news!

Today, I introduced my first bill in the House, the Hazard Pay for Health
Care Heroes Act, along with Senator Ed Markey to strengthen protections
for health care workers.

[ [link removed] ]Headline reads 'Lee legislation would fund hazard pay, protections for health
care workers during crisis'

From train derailments to the COVID-19 pandemic, our health care workers
show up for their communities every time a disaster strikes, even if it
means putting their own lives at risk. It's time we show up for them with
pay and protection — not just talk.

I'm proud this bill already has over 20 co-sponsors, but we need
grassroots support from people like you to make this legislation law.

safety for health care workers with a $5 or more donation

Since my time as an organizer, I've been fighting for fair wages and safe
conditions for our hospital workers, and I'm proud to advance our work to
support health care workers in Congress.

This legislation would empower the Secretary of the Department of Health
and Human Services to issue hazard pay grants of up to $13 per hour and
implement safety measures such as making Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) and alternative transit available for workers during emergencies or
extreme weather disasters.

We must be prepared for the next pandemic or extreme weather disaster, and
that includes having protections in place for the full spectrum of health
care workers including home care workers, medical technologists, nurses,
doctors, and environmental services staff.

[ [link removed] ]It's going to take a strong people-powered movement to pass the Hazard
Pay for Health Care Heroes Act and make sure our health care workers
receive the support they deserve. John,
can I count on you to advance this work
with a $5 donation today?

In solidarity and gratitude,

Summer
