Friend, In the face of this historic crisis, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has a plan: Sacrifice your rights to help Big Business. We’ve already lost many critical levers to limit the damage Big Business can inflict on Americans, our health and the planet we live on. Now McConnell says there is an “urgent need” to give corporations immunity from lawsuits related to COVID-19. Act now to stop Mitch McConnell from using this crisis to take away our right to hold corporations accountable for wrongdoing. Workers and consumers aren’t flocking to courts to sue for exposure to the coronavirus. So why is McConnell pushing this? Because eliminating people’s right to sue has been on Big Business’s wish list for decades. McConnell’s plan will give companies a free pass to ignore reasonable steps to keep workers and consumers safe. Don’t allow McConnell to push through a radical shift in power from the people to Big Business. Tell your U.S. senators to reject McConnell’s gift to corporations. The coronavirus crisis shouldn’t be used as an opportunity for powerful corporations to take away the power of We the People to hold them accountable. Thank your for taking action, Bret Thompson
