Friend --

After yesterday’s passage of the stimulus bill, it is critical that federal, state, and local leaders stay vigilant to protect our communities and ensure that the proper resources are allocated quickly and efficiently.

Black women are standing strong in the fight to protect all Americans during this pandemic and we are grateful for their service. 

The San Francisco stay-at-home-order has been in place for a week and former endorsed candidate now Mayor, London Breed is stepping up to further protect the public and communicate facts during the novel coronavirus pandemic in the city:

"Even here in San Francisco, we've had private companies go out and gets masks and PPE in general to support our healthcare workers. We've had to basically be innovative and work with the private sector to try and get the resources we need in order to make sure that public health was protected. The federal government just isn't moving fast enough. I know the speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi, is busting her butt in Congress to try and get us the package we need that's actually going to help workers and not necessarily corporations." — Mayor London Breed for ABC7 News <[link removed]>

On the East Coast, another former endorsed candidate, now Attorney General, Tish James is making sure that New Yorkers are safe and not taken advantage of in this crisis. She has issued a complaint hotline for residents to report employers not complying with the non-essential ban and any actors who are conspiring to use this pandemic for gain:

“As we experience more cases of coronavirus, it is imperative that New Yorkers remain calm, but stay vigilant,” said Attorney General James. “In addition to being mindful about our health, we must also beware of unscrupulous actors who attempt to take advantage of this fear and anxiety to scam or deceive consumers. I encourage anyone who believes they are the victim of a scam or predatory action to contact my office and file a complaint.”

Through all the chaos, Black women are continuing to shine their light and put our communities first in this national crisis.

As they are standing for us let’s stand up for them and contribute today to put more Black women leaders in office to drive forward policies that will ensure the health and safety of this country.
