on free COVID-19 vaccines and support for all!
Hey, John!
As we head into fall, a new wave of COVID-19 cases is hitting communities
across the country. The FDA has approved new vaccines to target the latest
strains of the virus, but there’s a big problem: many people can’t afford
them.^1 As of August, the federal program that guaranteed free vaccines
for uninsured and underinsured Americans has expired, leaving millions of
people vulnerable.^2 Without action, the people who need these lifesaving
vaccines the most will be forced to pay out of pocket—or skip the shot
altogether.
[ [link removed] ]Be the voice your community needs—launch a petition today and fight for
accessible COVID resources and vaccines for all.
But here’s the thing, YOU have the power to make a difference in your
local community. [ [link removed] ]By starting a petition today, you can demand that your
local government take action—creating comprehensive COVID support
programs, ensuring free vaccines for all, and providing the resources
needed to protect our communities.
Now is the time to act. Unfortunately, COVID isn’t going anywhere, and
local governments have a crucial role to play in keeping their citizens
safe. We need local leaders to step up and ensure everyone in their
community has access to vaccines, free testing, and proper medical care
for those suffering from long COVID. It’s important that local governments
create public campaigns to educate people about the importance of vaccines
and testing, so no one is left in the dark about how to protect themselves
and their families.
The CDC is sending $62 million to state and local governments for vaccines
to protect our communities, but we must ensure that our leaders apply the
funds effectively and take steps beyond that, too.^3

[ [link removed] ]Starting a petition is one of the most powerful ways to hold your local
government accountable—and now, more than ever, we need strong community
voices like yours to demand action. You have the opportunity to make a
direct impact by urging your local leaders to create these programs and
make sure no one is left behind when it comes to COVID prevention and
care. Imagine the impact you could have. If your local leaders listen,
your community could be one of the first to ensure that everyone—no matter
their background or financial situation—can access the COVID vaccines and
care they need. This is how real change starts. You can lead the way in
your community, and together, we can push for the solutions we so
desperately need.
It only takes a few minutes to get started. When you start a petition,
