“He created nonsense, confusion, and in doing so, so many needless lives were affected because it’s not just the loss of life, but also the loss of income, the loss of ability."
-- María Teresa Kumar on Donald Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, 9/11/2020 |
John --
María Teresa said it best -- the president’s disastrous handling of the pandemic has not only cost lives and ruined livelihoods, it has disproportionately hurt Latinxs.
According to new data, the pandemic is getting worse for the Latinx community. Latinxs have suffered one of the sharpest increases in COVID-19 mortality rates in the last two weeks. The COVID-19 mortality rate among Latinxs remains 3.2 times higher than that of white Americans. Plus, about 60% of Latinxs surveyed say they live in households that have experienced job losses or pay cuts due to the pandemic. The current administration still has no plan to distribute the vaccine to communities of color. And sadly, John -- none of this is likely to change until we have a new leader in the White House.
Voter registration has always been important, but this year lives are literally at stake. We need to register as many voters as possible before November and safely turn them out to vote. Will you help us create a more just and equitable future, where people of color are not treated as second-class Americans?
