Look, FIRSTNAME, it's no secret that America's past is rooted in white supremacy and patriarchal standards.
And as progressives, we're more than aware of the injustice our Black and Brown neighbors experience everyday.
That's why we're organizing a grassroots campaign to collect 10,000 signatures from progressives like you in support of this bill.
Will you sign on to become a citizen co-sponsor of the Anti-Racism in Public Health Act of 2020?

For far too long, our federal government has failed to recognize and address the structural racism that has devastated Black and brown communities.

The past several months have reignited decades and decades of hurt, injustice, and inequity -- and this is our chance to make a difference, and to make things right.

So, we want Elizabeth, Ayanna, and Barbara to know -- we're standing with them. Will you sign your name to show your support?
