John,

Last night, CNN hosted an audience-free debate with Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

We heard from both candidates about why defeating Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in modern history, is such an imperative in 2020. But we also heard two very different visions on how to address the current pandemic crisis — and where we want to take this country in the future.

Trump’s failure of leadership in the midst of this crisis has only served to increase the importance of voting him out this November. But right now, we need to do all we can to increase the political pressure on all levels of government to take swift, bold, meaningful action to protect ALL of us.

Will you publicly sign on to our WFP agenda below to meet this moment? We need all of our voices in this to pressure Trump and other government leaders.

Thank you,

WFP Team

We call on federal, state, and local leaders to:

Immediately Improve Our Public Health Infrastructure

Provide cost-free healthcare to everyone immediately
Make sure testing and treatment for COVID-19 are widely available
Guarantee paid sick leave for all to ensure that people don’t have to choose between going to work sick and keeping a paycheck

Protect the Most Vulnerable

Impose a moratorium on deportations, evictions, foreclosures, and utility shut offs, which force people into desperate situations and force people to relocate in contrast to the best public health advice which is to simply remain at home
Eliminate work requirements for food stamps and other assistance
Release all people being confined pre-trial on nonviolent offenses to prevent the spread of the virus among a vulnerable population confined to close quarters

Prevent a Catastrophic Recession

Pass one trillion dollar federal investment package targeted towards working people, small businesses, and state and local services, not to financial institutions
Provide immediate and direct cash aid to working families to help them stay afloat
Cancel student debt now through executive order
Enact a tax on extreme wealth to pay for all of the above

Defend Democracy

Provide nationwide emergency vote by mail, online voting, automatic voter registration, and other measures to make sure people can vote in the midst of a pandemic instead of postponing or cancelling elections
Waive petitioning requirements for political campaigns, so that canvassers don’t have to go knocking on doors to get their candidate on the ballot

Make our Country More Resilient for This Crisis and the Next

Pass legislation to guarantee jobs to all displaced workers and employ millions to transform our economy towards renewable energies that stabilize both our nation and our climate as outlined under the Green New Deal,
A Medicare for All single-payer healthcare system that guarantees high-quality healthcare to all Americans as a right, and
Cancel student debt
