Friends,
Donald Trump has been downplaying the dangers of COVID-19 since the pandemic began. He’s been trying especially hard to convince the country that young people don’t need to worry about getting the virus. At the final presidential debate, Trump tried to dismiss the issue altogether by claiming that “99.9% of young people recover” from it.
What that out-of-context statistic doesn’t reveal is the fact that COVID-19 disproportionately affects people of color -- especially children of color. A new CDC report reveals that “almost all of the US kids and teens who’ve died from COVID-19 were Hispanic or Black.”
You know that Trump is to blame for the United States’ egregious mishandling of the pandemic. You see that there are now two possible paths ahead of us: Either Trump wins and we continue to see coronavirus death rates skyrocket, further devastating communities of color, or Biden wins and our country trusts science again, protecting the health of ALL Americans.
With only two days to go until Election Day, there’s no time to waste. We need to make sure you’re voting. It’s a matter of life and death. Tell us now:
Have you voted yet?
Thank you for making your voice heard,
