Dear PFAW Member,
Over the past few months, this once-in-a-lifetime public health and economic crisis has pulled back the curtain to expose and compound the deep systemic inequities that the LGBTQ community experiences. Because of discrimination in health care and employment, LGBTQ people are being disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, all while the Trump administration advances policies that discriminate.
Sign our petition calling on Congress to act to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination!>>
Instead of turning their attention to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, the Trump administration has spent precious time and resources rolling back protections for LGBTQ people seeking health care. If Donald Trump and his cronies get their way, health care providers will be able to refuse to serve LGBTQ patients "because of their religious beliefs."
There is a long history of discrimination against LGBTQ people in the health care system. LGBTQ people are twice as likely to be uninsured, 1 in 4 face wide discrimination when trying to access healthcare, and those who face discrimination are 3 times more likely to not go to the doctor.
There is no excuse for this continued discrimination! Lives are being lost! Sign the petition now!>>
Congress has the power and the authority to act to end legalized discrimination that is having real impacts on public health.
Thank you for your advocacy. Wishing you and your family health and safety!
In community,
Charlie, PFAW
