=============================

Dear John,

During this moment in which we are all focused on doing our part, and caring for our loved ones and our community, it’s important that everyone who can do the right thing, do it and step up.

However, we’ve learned that amidst the current crisis, some corporations are standing behind the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s lobbying efforts that endanger people who are risking their lives to care for those impacted by COVID-19 and to keep essential services available to all.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is lobbying to prevent the full use of the Defense Production Act - a vital tool that would allow our country to rapidly manufacture the N-95 masks, ventilators, and other equipment U.S. workers and families so desperately need right now.

We’ve joined the Public Accountability Initiative, the Action Center on Race & the Economy (ACRE), the Care Test Protect Campaign, Communications Workers of America (CWA), Partnership for Working Families, and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in demanding that 3M, Honeywell, FedEx, Amazon, and U.S. Bank immediately and publicly support the full use of the Defense Production Act and tell the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to do the same.

It is unconscionable that when lives are on the line and doctors, nurses, grocery store workers, and other essential workers need supplies to protect themselves, their families, and their communities, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the multi-billionaire corporations it represents are lobbying against the Defense Production Act, forcing states, cities, and hospitals to compete for life-saving materials.

Sign the petition to the CEOS of 3M, Honeywell, FedEx, Amazon, and U.S. Bank: Immediately and publicly support the full use of the Defense Production Act and tell the US Chamber of Commerce to do the same: [link removed]
