Dear John,

Hundreds of health-care workers are risking their lives each day to combat the
coronavirus pandemic. But shortages of supplies have forced nurses across the
country to reuse personal protective equipment. This puts them at extreme risk
of exposure to the virus.

Medical workers need help, and they need it now. But Trump is playing politics
while people are suffering. The administration is trying to bail out polluters
instead of freeing up the resources needed to get equipment to hospitals
quickly.

Our leaders must provide life-saving equipment to health-care workers on the
front lines of this crisis. But they’ll only act under pressure from
constituents like you.

Help protect people, not polluters: Tell Congress to provide personal protective
equipment to health-care workers!

COVID-19 is pushing our health-care system to the breaking point. Intensive care
units are running out of beds. Medical professionals are creating makeshift
masks to deal with shortages. The situation is so dire that regular people
across the country have even started sewing homemade masks for health-care
workers. And states are being forced into bidding wars for federal medical
support.

Our hospitals and medical facilities need respirators, ventilators, and masks to
protect themselves, and to care for the massive influx of patients from the
growing pandemic.

At a moment when we are asking nurses and other health care workers to step up
and protect people, we must pull out all the stops to protect them as well. Our
leaders in Congress must do everything possible to provide more personal
protective equipment to our health-care heroes. But only pressure from
constituents like you can convince them to act!

Send a message to Congress: Demand more support and supplies for nurses and
medical facilities across the country!

Health-care workers are leading the fight against coronavirus. But nurses across
the country report that our hospitals and medical centers lack the tools they
need to save lives and protect themselves.

Now more than ever, we must stand with nurses and health-care workers. Our lives
depend on the safety of these brave heroes. And they’re counting on you to
demand Congress act!

Tell Congress to provide more protective equipment to health-care workers!
