Hi John, 

Did you see our email below? We're working hard to make
sure Gov. Bowser hears directly from people on the ground. 

With positive test results increasing in many of the states that are
reopening or easing restrictions^1, it's more urgent than ever that we
protect communities most vulnerable to COVID-19.

In solidarity,

John, 

This isn’t good. As of this week, more than a dozen states across the
country have partially reopened parts of their economies—without requiring
essential health and safety measures.

Trying to go “back to normal” and fast tracking reopening is the worst way
to handle this situation. [ [link removed] ]We need your help to make sure Governors are
protecting individuals and communities most vulnerable and at risk for
COVID-19 as a condition of re-opening the economy.

Over and over we’re hearing from public health experts that reopening too
soon can lead to a spike in infections. This pandemic is both a health and
economic crisis — and one that is hurting some people more than others.

We know that mass unemployment or mass death are not the only two options.
Governors still have time to save lives and jobs by crafting policy
informed by what’s happening on the ground and centered on the people hit
first and worst. That’s why last week we turned to you to learn how
COVID-19 has impacted you and your families lives, along with your ideas
for a path forward.

More than 53% of you shared that you don’t feel safe going back to work.
Many of you expressed how you felt it was too soon to reopen, you want to
see more testing available, more support for small businesses and
low-income communities, and PPE equipment for workers and those who can’t
access it. [ [link removed] ]Thanks to your stories and thoughtful responses we put
together 5 essential steps for reopening a healthy economy.

* Step 1: Safe Workplaces
* Step 2: Safe Commutes
* Step 3: Safe Communities
* Step 4: Equitable Access to Healthcare
* Step 5: Fair Access to Relief and Recovery 

[ [link removed] ]Now we need your help making sure Gov. Bowser takes these steps to
protect the health and economic outcomes for all Americans.

[ [link removed] ]Take Action
  Reopening the economy has to be better than normal. This pandemic has
reinforced that we are only as strong as our most vulnerable neighbor.
It’s time to build a new economy where we all have greater economic
opportunity and resilience. 

[ [link removed] ]Send an urgent message to Gov. Bowser to adopt these conditions for
re-opening today.

Thanks for taking action,
The Green For All Team
