Dear partner,  

Essential workers — from health care to transit to grocery workers — are risking their health to continue to serve the Commonwealth. But they, along with communities of color and nursing home residents, are bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 epidemic. However, none of these groups are represented in Governor Baker's Advisory Board for reopening the Massachusetts economy, which includes only 17 members, more than half of which are corporate executives. Only 3 are health experts. This imbalanced Board cannot be counted on to offer an adequate reopening plan. 

We are calling on Governor Baker to ensure that all ongoing discussions of Massachusetts' COVID-19 response and recovery include robust representation of labor, communities of color, seniors, and public health experts from across the State.

Will you take two minutes to sign our petition? Together, we can ensure a just recovery to COVID-19 that addresses the needs of all communities.

In solidarity,
The Massachusetts COVID-19 Response Alliance
