Every day, health care workers here in Mississippi and across the country are putting their lives on the line in order to care for others.

Nurses, doctors, hospital workers, pharmacists, and others are our first line of defense against COVID-19, and are potentially sacrificing their own health in order to fight it. And here in Mississippi, where the number of sick Americans grows by the day, the virus continues to expose inequalities in our broken health care system.

While we can all agree these health care workers are heroes, the truth is they shouldn’t have to be put in dangerous situations in order to do their jobs. It’s on us and our leaders in Washington to keep health care workers safe, and we can do so by providing them:

*
Personal
protective
equipment
(PPE)
like
N95
respirator
masks,
face
shields,
and
basic
masks,
which
many
facilities
across
the
country
are
running
dangerously
low
on
*
Emergency
child
care
so
health
care
workers
can
do
their
jobs
knowing
that
their
kids
are
safe,
especially
while
our
schools
continue
to
stay
closed
*
Paid
sick
leave
,
because
health
care
workers
cannot
afford
to
lose
pay
when
they
need
to
stay
home
because
they're
sick

If you agree it’s critical we provide these protections for nurses, doctors, and other health care workers, will you add your name alongside mine now? [[link removed]]

Now is the time to stand in solidarity with the workers who are working to save lives in the midst of this pandemic. And if you want to make even more of an impact, forward this petition to three friends who support our health care workers, too.
