Dear John,

Right now, Carnival Corporation is scheduling new cruises to depart -- during a
global pandemic in which cruise ships are enabling coronavirus to spread faster.

Already since the COVID-19 crisis began, several passengers on Carnival Corp.
cruises have died. Hundreds more report symptoms. But the company still has
6,000 passengers trapped at sea.

Instead of protecting people, its workers, and the communities that rely on
cruises for income, Carnival is trying to maximize its profits. The federal
government has even considered bailing them out. We need your help to call out
Carnival on its unacceptable actions!

Tell Carnival: No more cruises until the coronavirus crisis is over!

With 10 subsidiaries operating across the globe and over 40% of the global
cruise market share, Carnival could be setting new, sustainable precedents for
the industry.

Instead, Carnival is continuing business as usual, focusing on how quickly it
can line its pockets. Carnival is already scheduling new trips. And it could
even get a bailout from the federal government.

Carnival wouldn’t deserve a bailout in the best of times. This company has a
horrible track record of polluting the environment -- including the fragile
Alaska waters where it frequently runs trips. But its shameless pursuit of
profit is even more egregious at a time when it’s putting its workers and the
communities its ships dock in at risk.

It’s time to call global attention to Carnival’s disregard for public health.
That’s why we’re continuing our fight to demand that Carnival clean up its act.
But we need your help.

Tell Carnival to put people over profits!

The stories from cruise ships still at sea right now are horrifying. Passengers
trapped on a ship where people are dying because they can’t get medical care.
Workers forced to choose between losing their jobs or risking their health.

There is no excuse for Carnival to continue business as usual in this
environment. Instead, the company should send its workers home (and pay them!),
halt any planned cruises until the crisis is over, and step aside so the
communities who are losing crucial tourist income can secure bailout money
instead.

Carnival is vulnerable right now with the tourism industry in free fall. Its
shares are down more than 70%. So right now, the company cannot afford to ignore
consumer pressure. With your help, we can show Carnival that its polluting ways
and disregard for public health have consequences. But we must act fast!

Demand Carnival stop putting its profits over public health and communities:
Take action now!
