Dear MoveOn member,
We are dealing with the most devastating global pandemic of our
lifetimes.
Our families, our friends, our communities are at risk in ways that we
never could have anticipated, and the truth is that this virus is
impacting our lives in so many ways that are both obvious and not. More
than anything, it is laying bare the institutional failings that govern
our lives.
It is exposing the cracks in our society. For example, it is showing us
how ill-prepared our health care system is in providing the best care for
the general public. Our health care workers are doing amazing work, but
the health care system is driven by profits, rather than providing proper
care to as many people as possible.
We are seeing that grocery store workers are essential staff who are
keeping our society fed and taken care of in these difficult times, and
instead of providing proper pay or paid sick leave, grocery chains are
prioritizing profit and corporate greed.
Unfortunately, this is how most of our society is run, and this is the
time when we must act as witness to these ruptures in society and find
ways to change them. Whether we are focusing on workers’ rights, providing
financial relief to families, advocating for health care for all, fighting
against the detention of immigrants, or raising awareness about racial
inequities in the health care system, this is the time when we must
organize.
Our society may never be the same after the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic,
and we have to make sure that as we go through this together, we are
advocating for those who need help most.

We have to stick together and advocate for one another as we deal with
this devastating global pandemic. Our lives are at risk, our communities
are at risk, and we must do what we can now.
Thanks for all you do.
