Dear Friend,

COVID-19 has ushered in an unprecedented era of isolation and loneliness.
Dr. Vivek Murthy, MomsRising’s favorite U.S. Surgeon General, who served
under President Obama, has just released his new book, Together: The
Healing Power of Human Connection in the Sometimes Lonely World.

We are honored and excited to tell you that Dr. Murthy has accepted our
invitation to join our next #KeepMarching meeting on Tuesday, May 19, 8 pm
ET/5 pm PT, to discuss Together. 

[ [link removed] ]Will you join the meeting with former President Obama’s U.S. Surgeon
General Dr. Murthy, too, to talk about loneliness? Click here to RSVP. 

In Together, Dr. Murthy makes the case for loneliness as a public health
concern. As social distancing and shelter-in-place orders deprive people
of human connection just as they are beset with enormous worry and
pressure, Dr. Murthy’s expertise and wisdom could not come at a better
time. His book includes inspiring stories and creative solutions for
people to help themselves and those they love to build more connected
lives, even in these times.

This is from the publisher’s description of Together:

“The book we need NOW to avoid a social recession, Murthy’s prescient
message is about the importance of human connection, the hidden impact of
loneliness on our health, and the social power of community.

“Humans are social creatures: In this simple and obvious fact lies both
the problem and the solution to the current crisis of loneliness. In his
groundbreaking book, the 19th surgeon general of the United States Dr.
Vivek Murthy makes a case for loneliness as a public health concern: a
root cause and contributor to many of the epidemics sweeping the world
today from alcohol and drug addiction to violence to depression and
anxiety. Loneliness, he argues, is affecting not only our health, but also
how our children experience school, how we perform in the workplace, and
the sense of division and polarization in our society.”

General Dr. Vivek Murthy, on Tuesday, May 19th, at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT, to
