John,

Since the start of the pandemic, Americans have been denied testing [1], been shuffled among overflowing hospitals [2], and some were even turned away as health care workers were forced to determine who was sick enough for urgent care [3]. Meanwhile, at a White House ceremony marking Amy Coney Barrett’s rushed nomination to the Supreme Court, conservative leaders were seen flouting COVID-19 protocols including gathering closely, indoors and outdoors, and without masks.

Now, at least eight attendees including the president himself, have tested positive for COVID-19 [4] and are receiving top-of-the-line medical care for a virus whose severity they’ve continuously downplayed even as the death toll climbed to over 200,000.

This behavior is wrong and hypocritical. Give now.

So many people have been trying their best to stop the spread of COVID-19. They have worn masks, shouldered unfathomable, unpaid, care work, and skipped seeing loved ones for months.

No one should get to play by their own rules during a global pandemic. Give to show you agree.

Big ‘Pro-Life’ leaders have shown over and over a complete disdain for life, including ignoring the cruelty of family separation at the U.S. border, refusing to do anything to regulate gun violence, and now, ignoring health and safety guidance required to protect everyone from a lethal global pandemic.

Don’t let this behavior become acceptable. Donate today.

Sincerely,

Erin Matson
Co-Founder/Co-Director, Reproaction

P.S. Everyone should be working to slow the spread, especially elected leaders. Hold them accountable.
