Dear John​,

Don’t believe the lies. We can’t go back to normal.

State legislatures, governors and the federal government are putting millions of people, especially the poor, at great risk by reopening too soon. We must Stay Safe! Stay Alive! And Organize Organize Organize!  

Join us tonight​ at 5pm PST/ 8pm EST for a live digital forum with MoveOn.org, and then TAKE ACTION.

Clicking above will bring you to an online tool which will allow you to make calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. A script will be provided – just put in your information and the tool will walk you through. 

Tonight we will hear from leaders who represent the Poor People's Campaign and other courageous and visionary voices calling for change in this moment, including Sara Nelson, President of the Flight Attendant's Union, and Dr. Mary Bassett, Public Health Expert and Former Commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Join the live broadcast at 5pm PST/ 8pm EST on our Facebook page. ​

The Trump administration and various state governors claim that re-opening states now is about protecting essential workers and the economy, but their reckless actions make it clear that they believe “essential” work is being done by expendable bodies and lives. At the same time, the government continues to offer piecemeal responses to this pandemic and the growing economic crisis that have put profits over people. We must come together to demand that both parties and all of our elected leaders act on the responsibility they have to protect and provide for every person in this country, not just during a national crisis, but at all times and to enact our demands.

Tune in tonight​ to learn more about our plans to oppose these reckless re-openings! 

Stay safe. Stay alive. And organize, organize, organize.

Forward together, not one step back!

Rev. Dr. William Barber & Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis
