Dear Anonymous,

Millions of lives are being touched by the global pandemic.

There are more than 2 million COVID-19 infections across the country, and cases have accelerated dramatically in the past week. More than 30 million people have sought financial assistance as they've lost jobs and struggled to make ends meet.[1]

Anonymous, we understand that behind each of these numbers are real people and stories.

We've listened as supporters like you told us how COVID-19 has impacted their lives -- from medical professionals seeking proper protective equipment to shoppers reporting price gouging -- and we're responding.

Will you donate to support our urgent COVID-19 response, and all of our work in the public interest?

By donating today, you'll become a part of our efforts to defend consumers, protect public health and more. Here are some of the programs your gifts will support:

* Tackling predatory price gouging. Some businesses are still significantly inflating prices for critical supplies, including hand sanitizer and surgical masks.[2] U.S. PIRG is organizing for an end to price gouging during emergencies. Almost 400,000 supporters like you have joined together to call on Amazon to implement safeguards against predatory price gouging. We're also calling on the Federal Trade Commission to prevent sellers from taking advantage of consumers. Donate today >>

* Advocating for comprehensive testing and proper protective equipment. Our health professionals don't have enough COVID-19 tests or personal protective equipment to meet the current crisis. That's why we're building support across the country to get more and better testing for COVID-19. With the help of thousands of supporters like you, we're also calling on Congress to pass the Medical Supply Transparency and Delivery Act, which would establish a centralized, transparent system for delivering critical medical supplies to impacted areas. Donate today >>

* Sharing consumer tips and resources. The global pandemic has raised lots of questions: How do I protect myself from the virus? How do I report price gouging? What can I do to get help paying bills? We've assembled a set of tipsheets with advice regarding these pressing questions, and we'll be adding more in the days to come. Donate today >>
