John, this is urgent:

More than 40,000 National Guard members are currently providing state and local authorities with crucial support to conduct testing, set up field hospitals, and decontaminate public facilities and nursing homes.

These men and women are putting their own health at risk by serving on the frontlines of our nation’s coronavirus response -- but this administration is halting their deployments just one day before they qualify for education and retirement benefits.

We can’t allow these servicemembers to be shortchanged on the federal benefits they have earned. Sign on to call on President Trump to extend National Guard COVID deployments immediately >>

State and local governments are already desperate for funding and resources -- if this administration’s order goes into effect, it would be catastrophic to their efforts to contain the virus.

The National Guard’s presence is crucial in areas that have been hit hardest by the pandemic -- and will be even more vital as experts warn of the threat of a second wave of infection as many states begin to reopen.

This administration is trying to back out of its obligation to our servicemembers -- and putting people’s health at risk by doing so. Add your name to call on the president to extend National Guard deployments NOW >>

We must speak out,

Elaine Luria
